Greetings Music Lovers,

In my dual role as booking agent for Music on Main Street in Woodbridge and Outpost in the Burbs in Montclair, I have the great pleasure of bringing to our local communities iconic figures from various genres of music, like The Smithereens performing their "Beatle Show" in Woodbridge on Thursday May 2nd, and Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna...) performing a duo show in Montclair on Thursday May 30. (sorry, Jorma is sold out!)

However, I get equal pleasure in presenting unknown acts who I believe are as talented as anybody who could one day be iconic figures themselves. I have one such show on Friday May 17th at The Outpost in the Burbs. It's a 4-act showcase featuring the artists described below.

You weren't there when I saw Norah Jones for free and chatted with her briefly at the bar after the show, or saw 16 year old Joss Stone open for Raul Midon and told her she was going to be big, or saw Corinne Bailey Rae perform in a book store and had a cup of coffee and talked about music with her. You weren't there because you probably didn't know who those artists were when I did those things.

Here's a chance for you to live in the musical future, which is how I describe what I do. For only $22 (or $5.50 per act) you can see 4 acts who, in a few years (or less) could be household names and you can say that you saw them, and met them, back in the day.

Best Regards,
Bill Brandenburg

Jann Klose's new album MOSAIC, due June 2013 can easily be called a sonic, lyrical and emotional mosaic. Public Radio's Barb Heller says with that voice "he could sing the phonebook."

Sierra's shows captivate audiences with compelling mood setting performances creating an atmosphere where stunning instrumentals and hook laden pop songs exist in perfect harmony. Those same performances have brought opportunities such as opening for Paul McCartney, Kid Rock, Bon Jovi, as well as performing in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and for the Queen of England.
