Don Lowe hosts the Monthly Singer Songwriter Showcase

MONTAGUE — Don Lowe will host the Monthly Singer Songwriter Showcase featuring several local area musicians performing original music at High Point Golf Club's Music Lounge on Saturday, June 14 at 8 p.m. Admission is free.

Every second Saturday of each month, a different host the showcase.

Don Lowe (Host)
Lowe explores life as he sees it with songs that are at turns witty, arcane, profane, sad, and sometimes, downright silly. He’s opened for Steve Forbert, Kenny White, Toby Walker, Danielle Miraglia, David Jacobs-Strain, Johnny A, The Dana Fuchs Band, and Maria Sebastion among others and has been featured in venues throughout Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and North Dakota.

Don is the open mic host for the venerable Towne Crier Café. His latest CD, "Out Here," was released in September 2013, and "Dogs, Clowns, and Belles" in 2010.

Celeste Aldridge
Aldridge, from Shohola, Pa. is an artful and expressive vocalist and songwriter who began her career singing in the Celtic, British and American folk tradition. Her love for this repertoire was inspired by an early introduction to the music from her first job out of college at Shanachie Records, one of the largest independent record labels in the world.

Celeste’s self produced Celtic cd from 2008 offers a vocal approach to traditional Celtic music with a full band of musical minstrels, including lively songs and ballads. The CD was well received and got airplay at many regional radio stations including WNTI, WFUV, WJFF, WVIA, etc.

John Irizarry
Irizarry (Guitar, Piano, Vocals) leader of the band "Small Town Sheiks," has been writing since he hung out as a kid in the streets of New York City. A fan of all kinds of music, he has become an engaging story teller with a voice that aims for the heart of the listener.

His songs have a personal intimacy while still being capable of speaking to a broad audience.

Dave Goldenberg
Goldenberg is a singer-songwriter, award-winning filmmaker, writer and regular open mic host. He has opened for Joan Rivers, Robert Klein, Steve Forbert, Vance Gilbert, Jill Sobule and many others.

His songs tend toward the satiric and acerbic, because, he says, “you can get away with singing things that you could never get away with saying.”

Chris Raabe
Raabe has been part of the Orange County music scene for some years now, and has established himself as one of the areas most electric performers with his vocals and guitar playing.
