NEW DATE T.B.D. \nKINOBE (pronounced chi-no-bay) is a Ugandan singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose work has been described as “some of the most exquisite music coming out of Africa today.” For more than 15 years\, he has captivated audiences with his soothing African rhythms\, understated vocals and powerful world-roots-dance melodies that emanate from the diversity of the many traditional instruments he customised to develop his unique sound. — www.kinobemusic.com \n\nKinobe has often shared the stage with other celebrated artists\, including Baaba Maal\, Angelique Kidjo\, Salif Keita\, Youssou N’Dour\, Oliver Mtukudzi and Hugh Masekela—and he has released 10 albums. His latest\, The Voice Within\, is quite different from all the others. Rather than offering a mix of traditional songs with intimate rhythms\, all of the tracks on The Voice Within are original\, and tackle social and global issues dear to his heart–love\, diversity\, economic development and war—“but in a beautiful way\,” he promises. \nThe release of the CD coincided with Kinobe’s long-awaited 2018 North American tour in which he performed solo\, as well as in an electrifying stage production alongside his Dance of Hope ensemble. The young troupe is made up of children he mentored in Ugandan orphanages and refugee camps. \nAs a creative arts producer\, speaker and facilitator\, Kinobe has given talks and workshops all over the world and worked extensively with schools and colleges conducting residences and outreach exchange programs\, which in most cases lead to commemorative concerts with local students. \nThrough his Dance of Hope Foundation (www.danceofhope.com)\, Kinobe has dedicated his life to using his music and voice to bring love and joy to people\, and help build a healthier\, more peaceful world for children and families everywhere. \n\nThe Cranberry Coffeehouse encourages musicians\, vocalists\, story-tellers\, and dancers of all ages and skill levels to share their talents during the Middle Set.

Magazine\, Robin Bullock is one of the preeminent acoustic music masters of our time. His virtuosity on guitar\, cittern and mandolin blends the ancient melodies of the Celtic lands\, their vigorous American descendants\, and the masterworks of the Baroque and Renaissance eras into one powerful musical vision. The 17th-century harp tunes of legendary Irish bard Turlough O’Carolan\, the spirited jigs and reels of rural Ireland\, the haunting ballads of the southern Appalachians and the timeless compositions of Bach\, Dowland and Francesco da Milano all find a musical common ground in Robin’s music\, where lightning-fast fingerwork one moment is perfectly balanced with tender\, quiet intimacy the next. A warm\, friendly presence onstage\, Robin effortlessly creates a magical world for the audience with his multi-instrumental wizardry\, taking them on an unforgettable journey into the deep heart’s core and through the music of the spheres. — www.robinbullock.com \nOriginally rising to prominence as a founding member of the innovative acoustic world-music trio Helicon (winners of the Association for Independent Music’s prestigious INDIE Award for Best Seasonal Recording)\, Robin’s solo career has won him a ranking among DigitalDreamDoor.com’s “100 Greatest Acoustic Guitarists\,” a Player’s Choice Award from Acoustic Guitar Magazine in the Celtic guitar category\, three Washington Area Music Association WAMMIE Awards(Traditional Folk Instrumentalist 1997 and 1999; Traditional Folk Recording of the Year 1998)\, a Governor’s Award from the Maryland State Arts Council and a feature broadcast on National Public Radio’s hugely popular Celtic music program “The Thistle and Shamrock.” \nRobin maintains a busy international touring schedule\, performing in a number of settings; though his primary focus is solo performance\, he can also be heard in Celtic duos with guitarist Steve Baughman and Irish singer Aoife Clancy\, as a member of the award-winning world-folk trio Helicon\, as part of an Asheville-based John Denver tribute group\, and most notably\, as sideman with Grammy Award-winning folk icon Tom Paxton. Robin’s many years of touring with Tom have included collaborations with such luminaries as John McCutcheon\, Grammy-winning songwriters Jon Vezner and Don Henry\, and on their 2010\, 2012\, 2014 and 2015 “Together at Last” tours\, Tom’s fellow Grammy winner Janis Ian. \nAn experienced and articulate instructor\, Robin is a regular faculty member at several of the U.S.’s leading acoustic music camps\, including Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Kamps in Tennessee\, Common Ground On The Hill in Maryland\, the March Mandolin Festival in New Hampshire\, and twenty-two consecutive years at the Swannanoa Gathering in North Carolina\, where he was honored in 2016 with a Master Music Maker Award for lifetime achievement in musicianship and teaching. (Of the thousand-plus faculty members in the Gathering’s 27-year history\, only 23 have received this award to date.) \n\nThe Cranberry Coffeehouse encourages musicians\, vocalists\, story-tellers\, and dancers of all ages and skill levels to share their talents during the Middle Set.

His Men At Words tour of North America saw Jez joining forces with James Keelaghan and Archie Fisher for much-acclaimed concerts across Canada and the USA. And as part of The Pitmen Poets (with Bob Fox\, Benny Graham\, and Billy Mitchell)\, Jez has helped to rekindle the fire in the tradition of mining songs and culture of his native region in a series of sell out theatre performances around the UK. \n\n\n\nOver the last couple of decades\, the likes of Fairport Convention\, The Dubliners\, The Unthanks\, Wizz Jones\, The McCalmans\, Mary Black\, The Duhks\, Bob Fox\, The Young Uns\, Enda Kenny\, Cherish The Ladies\, Tom McConville\, The Clancys\, and scores more have queued up to adopt his songs for their own repertoires. No wonder no less than Richard Thompson has called him “the best singer songwriter to come out of the UK for a long time”\, and personally invited him to play at Thompson’s Meltdown Festival at London’s South Bank Centre in 2010.  \n\n\n\nJez Lowe’s contributions to the on-going BBC Radio series The Radio Ballads has cemented this reputation\, with a Sony Radio Award among the many accolades coming its way. The project culminated in a live BBC Radio 2 broadcast In November 2018 to commemorate The Great War Centenary that featured Jez alongside the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and narrator Michael Morpurgo. \n\n\n\nAs BBC Radio DJ Mike Harding said recently\, “no-one else writes or sounds like Jez Lowe”\, and chances are\, even if you’ve never heard the man himself\, you’ll have heard his songs sung at festivals\, club-gigs\, open-mikes or on CD\, by the great and good\, the professional and the enthusiast\, the young and not-so-young. What higher accolade could a songwriter hope for?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJez Lowe is one of our finest songwriters.
