      <div class="event-info event-notes"><p>His songs are witty and insightful. On smaller stages to intimate audiences or large stages to festival audiences, he always holds the crowd in the palm of his hand. - Eleanor McEvoy</p>

<p>Enda Kenny is an Irish-Born songwriter who has made his home in Melbourne, Australia since the late 1980's. His thoughtful, descriptive stories of his adoptive homeland have struck a chord with festival audiences all over Australia and are always memorable and spiced with plenty of humour. Proud to sing of where he lives rather than where he left, he continues to grow his international audience with recent trips to Germany, Holland, UK, NZ and Canada.</p>

<p>After a decade of juggling performance with a career in Public Housing, the release of Heart Tattoo allowed a return to full-time music in 2013. His engaging performances have been captivating UK festival audiences every summer since then and he is continuing to grow his reputation as a cracking solo entertainer.</p>

<p>A multi-award winning songwriter and twice winner of the Port Fairy Folk Festival songwriting award, Enda's recent compositions highlight his quirky sense of humour and add to an already impressive catalogue of songs which led Colum Sands to describe him as "the finest Irish songwriter living overseas".</p>

<p>Twin Flames</p>

<p>Indie rock, synth rock, and folk-pop are just a few of the ways critics have tried to label the music of Twin Flames. It isn’t an easy task and really, labels only serve the needs of those who choose to employ them. From the beginning, husband and wife duo Chelsey June and Jaaji have chosen to let their music speak for itself and when considered alongside the nearly 30 various music awards and nominations they have accumulated over the past six years as Twin Flames, it is obvious they have something special going on.</p>

      <div class="event-info event-notes"><p>This is a FREE afternoon of fun, friends, and great music. Because of the format as a Zoom meeting, a FREE ticket is required.</p>

<p>As with almost everything right now this too will be virtual, but we're hoping you'll join us for the Focus annual meeting: your chance to take part in the decision-making behind the local organization that provides the live music you love all year long. We're also going to have a number of LIVE performances in the form of the annual FocusMusic open mic / jam. If you'd like to participate, please email rob Hinkal for details at <a href="mailto:rob@ilyaimy.com">rob@ilyaimy.com</a>.</p>

<p>We'll start with a quick business meeting to recap the past year and plan for the one ahead.  Meet the people who put on the shows.  Participation is open to all, but advance registration IS REQUIRED. Feel free to offer opinions, suggestions and insights.  If you'd like, find out how you can get involved throughout the year.  Then it's time for the "open jam", an informal song circle featuring a bevy of favorite local singer-songwriters, as well as some up-and-coming performers destined to be featured in future Focus shows.</p>

<p>    </p><p><strong><img src="/resources/Pictures/20210814%20-%20FocusMusic%20Presents%20Phil%20Ochs%20Song%20Night%202.jpg" alt=""><br></strong></p>    <p><strong>Magpie</strong> presents a show with&nbsp;performances from them,&nbsp;<strong>Elise Bryant</strong>, <strong>Charlie King</strong>, <strong>Colleen Kattau</strong> and <strong>Tom Paxton</strong>! All in celebration of the legendary "topical" songwriting of <strong>Phil Ochs</strong>!</p>    <p>A staple of the 1960's counterculture era, <strong>Phil Ochs</strong> wrote hundreds of songs viewing the world through a unique lens of piercing wit and often-alliterative anti-establishment politically-aware activism. We lost Phil in 1976 as we've lost so many great artists - but his cut-short Life and career has inspired generations of not just musicians, but writers and filmmakers.&nbsp;</p>    <p>We hope you'll join us for an incredible night of tribute to one of the last century's folk greats!</p><img src="/resources/Pictures/un.jpg" alt="" width="283.5" height="188">    <p><strong>About MAGPIE :&nbsp;</strong></p>    <p>Since 1973, Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner have brought their unique sound and remarkable versatility to audiences everywhere, featuring traditional and vintage Americana to contemporary and stirring original compositions.</p>    <p>With two strong voices in harmony and superb instrumental arrangements, their sound is powerful and moving. Award-winning recording artists, singers, songwriters, musical historians, playwrights, actors and social activists, Terry and Greg are proud to be, as Pete Seeger said of them, “…more links in the chain”, dedicating their lives and music to leaving this world a better place.

He sings and writes passionately about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. Pete Seeger hailed him as “One of the finest singers and songwriters of our time.”</p>    <p>Charlie has been at the heart of American folk music for over half a century and has been writing songs for the past 45 years. In October of 2017 he received the annual the Phil Ochs Award, in recognition of his music and activism for social and political justice in the spirit of Phil Ochs. His songs have been recorded and sung by other performers such as Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, John McCutcheon, Arlo Guthrie, Peggy Seeger, Chad Mitchell and Judy Small.

Great singer and organizer at the same time,” <strong>Pete Seeger</strong>.</p>    <p>Colleen is a bilingual vocalist, guitarist and composer of songs. Her poetic originals and charismatic stage presence inspire hope and spark imagination and audience participation! After a show audience members frequently tell her “You touched my soul”.&nbsp;</p>    <p>Colleen has shared the stage with legendary performers Pete Seeger (he actually called her once when she was working in her garden- he loved “Singin down” the SOA with her and Jolie Rickman), Holly Near with whom she toured in 2012, and Tom Paxton.</p>    <p>Learn more at&nbsp;<a href="http://colleenkattau.com/" target="_blank">www.colleenkattau.com</a></p>    <p><strong><img src="/resources/Pictures/1936192_127900467306_5438570_n.jpg" alt="" width="199.5" height="302">Tom Paxton :</strong></p>    <p>Tom Paxton has become a voice of his generation, addressing issues of injustice and inhumanity, laying bare the absurdities of modern culture and celebrating the tenderest bonds of family, friends, and community.</p>    <p>In describing Tom Paxton’s influence on his fellow musicians, Pete Seeger has said: “Tom’s songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they’re becoming part of America.” Pete goes on: “In a small village near Calcutta, in 1998, a villager who could not speak English sang me What Did You Learn In School Today? in Bengali! Tom Paxton’s songs are reaching around the world more than he is, or any of us could have realized. Keep on, Tom!” Learn more at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tompaxton.com/" target="_blank">www.tompaxton.com</a></p>    <p><strong><strong><img src="/resources/Pictures/elise.gif" alt="">Elise Bryant :&nbsp;</strong></strong></p>    <p>Elise Bryant--a director, actor, singer, and playwright--has been teaching and inspiring Americans to be active in their communities, their unions, and the democratic process for 30 years. Alongside the many lions of the long fight for worker justice who hail from the Motor City, she has been called “Detroit’s Gift to the Labor Movement.”</p>    <p>Bryant’s unique ability to adapt the techniques and rhetoric of theater and opera to community organizers and union halls has won her numerous awards, including a "Joady" award in 1992 from the Film Arts Foundation in California. Her 1998 script for "Porgy and Bess: An American Voice," a PBS documentary, renewed public appreciation for the Gershwin breakthrough hit of two generations earlier. Before coming to Washington, D.C., in 1997, Bryant was artistic director for both Common Ground Theatre Ensemble and Workers' Lives/Workers' Stories in Ann Arbor for 15 years starting in 1982. Her most recent work, performed in Michigan, was the 2007 adaptation of the work of historians Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove as "Voices of a People's History of the United States," in which she also appeared as Sojourner Truth.</p>    <p>Some of Bryant's other works include, "Forgotten: The Murder at the Ford Rouge Plant," "Zoo Zoo Chronicles," and "Workin’ for a Livin'.” Labor activists throughout the nation revere Bryant for her warm, genuine, and powerful spirit, as distinctive on stage as off. Several leaders credit her with literally teaching them their voice, in their union and the political arena. She is currently a teacher at the National Labor College at the George Meany Center in Silver Spring, Maryland.</p><p></p>

<p>    </p><p>Focus Music proudly presents a virtual event with two of the area's most powerful female voices - Kipyn Martin and Heather Aubrey Lloyd!</p>    <p><strong>A fantabulous update! Kipyn and Heather have used the reschedule to arrange to get TOGETHER! Yep - they're going to be webcasting from the SAME PLACE allowing for them to actually play together, sing together, and generally actually... BE together! So it sounds like delaying has... beyond a SILVER lining... kind of a brilliant gold and diamond lining with a nice plush cover to keep it shiny!</strong><br></p>    <p>(rescheduled from 7/10)</p>    <p><strong>Kipyn Martin is an emerging Indie Folk singer-songwriter whose roots sink deep into the banks of the Shenandoah River. She currently plays festivals, concert halls, coffeehouses, and house concerts from New England to Texas.</strong></p>    <p><strong>Kipyn celebrated several milestones in January 2017 including the release of Dance Across the Sky, a solo project following up her debut Undercover Muse, and winning the coveted Gold Award in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest (Open category) for God is Love, her third MASC Gold adding to previous wins in 2013 and 2014.</strong></p>    <p><strong>Additional accolades for Kipyn include being honored by the Washington Area Music Association with their WAMMIE Award for New Artist of the Year in 2015 and multiple nominations the following year for Songwriter of the Year and Folk Contemporary Vocalist.</strong></p>              <p><img src="/resources/Pictures/h-a-lloyd-2020-promo.jpg" alt="" width="283.5" height="378">Recovering reporter, performance poet and fairy tale collector turned songwriter, <strong>Heather Aubrey Lloyd</strong> has co-fronted Baltimore’s ilyAIMY for nearly two decades. Traveling the country playing everything from bait shops to clothing-optional resorts, Lloyd’s lyrical collection of stories became her first solo studio effort, “A Message in the Mess.” Populated by Hippie Tooth Faeries and Jackson Pollock reincarnated as a flock of scatological pigeons … each narrative is offered up in her passionate, “sing-me-the-phone-book” alto. Her finger-picked guitar says folk. Her lyrics show the influence of Baltimore's slam poetry scene. Her hand percussion says world music. "Janis Joplin ... and Joni Mitchell blended together," says The Montgomery Caller.</p>    <p>With its inventive arrangements and delightfully bizarre percussion (yes, that really is recorded bubble wrap), “Mess” received the Director's Award for Album of the Year from the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, and the awards haven't stopped since: 2018 No Depression Magazine Songwriting Award Finalist, 2018 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival MOST WANTED Artist, 2018 National Women's Music Festival Emerging Artist, 2017 Telluride Troubadour Top 4. She is also the reigning Grand Prize winner of the prestigious Bernard Ebb Songwriting Award. While the current socially distanced climate has cancelled most of her live shows, Lloyd is planning to release new music in 2021, featuring songs about mental health, the plight of refugees, and aging gracefully.</p>          <br><p></p>
