A scintillating solo show by My Brightest Diamond (Shara Worden), the classically trained singer and composer, and experimental pop chanteuse. My Brightest Diamond's recent release All Things Will Unwind is "a picture of an artist maturing; considering joy and pain, beauty and horror, yet bravely standing in the tension between the two--and singing about it" (Asthmatic Kitty).

A solo acoustic performance by Minnesota-bred singer-songwriter and troubadour Peter Himmelman, making a stop at The Cedar hot on the heels of the release of his new album The Mystery and The Hum.

Over the course of her colorful career, singer songwriter Susan Werner has cultivated a reputation as a daring and innovative songwriter with a killer live show. She boldly endeavors to weave old with new to create altogether new genres of music when existing ones do not suit her muse, and she regularly keeps audiences guessing and laughing simultaneously. Most of her work infuses traditional music styles and methods with her unmistakable contemporary worldview, constantly challenging listeners to experience music from a fresh and unexpected perspective.

"Noted folk singer-songwriter Ellis Paul serves up a deft, soulful acoustic mix of American folk and contemporary pop in songs that find magic in road trips, dragonflies, "The Star Inside the Apple" and swings and pinwheels - simple pleasures. Traditional folk themes of world peace and harmony resonate with immediacy, but are delivered with a gentle touch ("The Million Chameleon March," "The Little Red Rose")." (The Dragonfly Races, Parents' Choice Silver Award winner 2008)
