Spotlight Night

The Folk Project Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series presents Spotlight Night

Where can you hear four amazing acts for the price of one? Why, at the Troubadour’s highly anticipated Spotlight Nights, of course! This edition features incredibly talented and musically diverse duos and trios from all over North Jersey.

The TriSonics play original acoustic instrumentals spanning roots, folk, bluegrass, blues and jazz, featured on their three albums to date. The players are Michael William Levine on Dobro, Don Sarlin on guitar and their newest member Michael Aharon on cello and bass. Their respective credits include Van Morrison, Tanya Tucker, Backstreet Boys, Patti LaBelle, Trapezoid, Solas, David Bromberg, Mary Travers, Vasser Clements, Larry Gatlin, Mac Davis, Esther Phillips and others with appearances in the U.S., the UK, Europe and Asia, and on TV (SNL, others).

Marry the Sea blend lush harmonies with intricate guitar work creating a sound that is both captivating and richly textured. The duo’s founding members are Kat De Bari and Rebecca Farnham who sometimes play with a band consisting of a violinist, bassist and drummer to bring their melodies and lyrical musings to life. For this show, the duo will be featuring songs from their eponymous titled debut EP, plus new material from their upcoming EP. Expect an intimate performance as their songs reveal their unique perspectives/experiences on various aspects of life. Their songs evoke wonder and inquiry about our place in the world and the soaring of the creative spirit.
