Double Bill -- Susan Cattaneo & Kelly Riley

Come hear these Berklee songwriters play the soundtrack to your life! A powerful singer and sophisiticated songwriter, Susan Cattaneo has seen the darkness in the corners and sings about it fearlessly.  Following in the footsteps of Matraca Berg, Kim Richey, Lucinda Williams and Gretchen Peters, this well-respected Boston artist combines vivid storytelling with a modern songwriter's spin. Call it New England Americana with a twang.  Respectful of tradition, but not bound by it, Susan's rootsy vibe blends rock, folk, soul and blues with a healthy does of country.

Kelly Rily is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and award-winning performer/songwriter (Nashville Songwriters Association, Great American Music Contest, Little Fair).  Riley has opened for Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett and many of her songs have been featured on TV programs such as "The Young and the Restless" and "One Life to Live." She will be performing with Raleigh Green (guitar), Tim Reppert (bass) and Ron Wilhelmsen (harmonica).
