    Gaida and her ensemble: Levantine Indulgence

    “[Gaida] improvised incantatory lines as an accomplished jazz vocalist might have done… [her] plaintive, gauzy vocals effectively disarmed listeners” – Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

    Gaida is a vocalist and composer working at the intersection of the New York Arab and improvised music scenes. Her songs draw at once on classical Arabic music, Syrian folk traditions, and free improvisations that expand on traditional Arabic maqams (modes) to produce an original and highly personal style marked by great emotional intensity. An acclaimed singer from an early age, Gaida was born in Germany and raised in Damascus. Later she lived in Kuwait, Paris, and Detroit, where she received classical voice training at Wayne State University. Now settled in New York, Gaida works with leading music artists such as Amir ElSaffar, Brahim Fribgane, Arturo Martinez, Zafer Tawil, and Rufus Cappadocia. She appeared on Jonathan Demme’s latest film, Rachel Getting Married, which featured one of her compositions and a performance with Robyn Hitchcock. She has subsequently performed with Hitchcock on several occasions in New York. She also recorded with Gillian Welsh and Alejandro Escovedo on Demme’s previous film, Jimmy Carter: Man from Plains. Gaida composed and performed an original song for the documentary film, The First Saturday in May.

    Liz Longley

    Longley’s songs swell with honesty and genuine emotion that most of us are unable to admit to but recognize all the same.”, declared “The Telegraph” of New Hampshire. Even music icon John Mayer, who surprised Liz and fellow Berklee music students when he broke into an impromptu rendition of Liz’s song “Queen”, has described her music as

    “Gorgeous-just gorgeous!”

    The internet has been equally effusive about Longley’s music. Liz was voted the No. 1 all-time female vocalist on Garageband.com in both acoustic & folk categories. As a songwriter, she and Handy Blues award winner Jim Tullio, teamed-up to write the internet smash, “Naked Trees”. The song became the No. 1 all-time song (amid 3,400 songs) in Garageband.com’s acoustic S/S category in ’06.

    This past spring, Longley earned the Berklee College of Music Songwriting Division Achievement Award. Moreover, her song “Whatever Goes Up” was ranked the No. 2 song overall in the well-regarded competition. The song also garnered the all-time No. 1 spot on Garageband.com’s folk chart for best melody and best lyrics.

    Liz is often accompanied by guitar talent Sarah Zimmermann. The two team-up for engaging vocal harmonies and a rapport with audiences that is filling coffeehouses and venues throughout the region. Liz has performed at the Philly Folkfest, Club Passim’s in Boston, Tupelo Hall in New Hampshire, and Philly’s World Cafe. She has shared the stage with Nanci Griffith, Kenny Rankin, Lucy Kaplanski, Livingston Taylor, and Jonathan Edwards.

  14. Hi, I was wondering if anyone know about a rock shows going on on Saturday March 6th? and information about it. Thanks In Advance.

  15. there’s a good surf rock night at Otto’s starting at 9. It’s free. I don’t know many of the bands but the midnight act, El Muchacho, are really good. If you’d like a country-flavored band with a really good girl singer, Julia Haltigan is playing the Rockwood at 9. There’s also a good ska night at the Knitting Factory and a good country/cowpunk night at Hank’s, both starting at 9 or so. You might also want to check the venues page here – http://lucidculture.wordpress.com/category/venues/ – to see who’s playing at Trash, Lit Lounge, Ace of Clubs or Spike Hill. Otherwise it’s a pretty dead night.
