Event Details
More Barn Studios, located in Stockton NJ, is excited to have the extremely talented modern folk duo Miles & Mafale performing, with Rachel Marie opening, on August 17th, at 7:30 pm. Admission is Free - RSVP and optionally make a donation here.
Catherine Miles & Jay Mafale are married co-conspirators in song. They are two scoops of modern folk with a generous sprinkling of pop-catchiness, topped off with the wit and flair that comes of their theater backgrounds. Catherine Miles & Jay Mafale bring a candidness and playful approachability to the stage, disarming audiences and opening hearts wide enough to let some light in. Catherine’s voice - resonant, expressive, a powerhouse. She’s got range and she’s not afraid to use it. Jay’s guitar - percussive, melodic, thoughtful. He propels and punctuates the narrative. Their shared experience has taught them about perseverance and perspective, and those strengths are evident in their song craft. They invite folks inside their songs with a story to be told, a friend they want you to meet, a villain or hero presented with a flourish.
Opening the concert will be Boston-based and Pennsylvania-raised musician Rachel Marie, who follows in a tradition of unapologetically forthright women
folksingers, with songs that hearken to "overstuffed lines of Tori Amos,
philosophical turn of Indigo Girls, and lilting vocals like Joni
Mitchell." The social awareness of folk meets the introspection of the
singer-songwriter tradition with a moderate dose of snark. Rachel takes a
straightforward and honest approach to songwriting in an effort to
foster genuine human connection and encourage empathy through music.
Admission is Free - RSVP and optionally make a donation here. Contact us with any questions via email to [email protected]. All donations go to the musicians. Check out our full calendar of upcoming concerts.
