Fred Arcoleo and Amy Soucy

While immersing themselves at the Bluestone Inn, they discovered their mutual passion for music and songwriting. They've been collaborating and performing together ever since, bringing their colorful, harmonious blend of acoustic, consciousness-raising, story-driven acoustic music to art events, music festivals, open mics, readings, song circles, and house concerts all around New York.
Their latest rollicking performance took place at the Bowery Poetry club to celebrate the release of Fred's new CD, "Seeds," which features Amy on harmony vocals, along with a host of folk music luminaries. You can hear more vibrant sounds at www.reverbnation.com/fredarcoleo

Michael Sackler-Berner
Born and raised in New York, based in Brooklyn, Michael Sackler-Berner is a singer-songwriter with roots in the past, and a sound very much in tune with the present.
Surrounded by longtime collaborators of artists like Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, Sackler-Berner's music is distinguished by the songwriting craft of that era, and by a contemporary rhythmic sensibility, anchored by some of the heaviest drummers of our time.
Sackler-Berner's debut, MSB, features drummer Jim Keltner (Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, George Harrison) and his most recent recordings were produced by the Grammy winning Steve Jordan (Keith Richards, Alicia Keys, John Mayer) who accompanies on both bass and drums.
Sackler-Berner's body of work is unified by his bittersweet voice, paired with a lyrical economy and an expressive feel for pop dynamics. The songs, whether ballads or uptempo, are constructed with a delicate sense of emotional momentum.
The tracks "True Blue," "The World’s Spinning on its Side," and "Keep it Easy," have been licensed by Sons of Anarchy (FX), Law & Order (NBC), Law & Order: Criminal Intent (NBC/USA), and CBS Sports, along with numerous other original pieces of music.
As a solo artist Sackler-Berner can be heard in such New York venues as Joe's Pub, Mercury Lounge, The Living Room, Rockwood, The Bitter End, as well as at The Stephen Talkhouse on the East End.
Sackler-Berner performs and records with the finest of musicians, yet there's always the sense that it's not about how fast or how complicated -- it's about how deep. For Michael Sackler-Berner the song always comes first.
