BECKY CHACE
8:00-11:00
Hi All
If you were fortunate to catch Becky Chace step in with Dave Howard, Neal Vitullo and the Vipers for Sunday Blues a few weeks ago– you will know how fortunate we are to have her come into the Cafe for a Thursday night ‘Summer Series’ gig!
Chosen Best Female Vocalist 5 times by the readers of the Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll, Becky has been called “one of the most celebrated singer/songwriters to come out of the RI area.” Motif Magazine
Check out this video — verrry awesome!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1BSWzUPSmg&feature=player_embedded
“With her smoky voice and blues-laden guitar, Providence’s Becky Chace is a steamy cauldron of music, purveying the sort of countrified roots/folk rock that hits with a gritty, earthy edge. There’s an authenticity to Chace that makes her music captivating, and in the same breath makes her difficult to categorize: she’s a singer-songwriter who transcends a number of genres, pulling together common threads into solid music that commands a listeners’ attention.” Victor D. Infante Worcester Telegram and Gazette .
“Becky’s voice is an awesome blend of Melissa Etheridge and KD Lang, mix it up with a little Roy Orbison, and you’ve got one hell of a vocal treat.”
Soo, come on it to the Gansett for great food, cold concoctions and fabulous music this Thursday to kick off the Long weekend!
Friday May 24th

This band is a blast,waaaay fun and truly up on the stage exuding ‘let’s just have a great time tonight aura’ .New York Minute’s trademark is versatility.

Most of you uncompromising Gansett folks know this is one of the most fun bands we have into the Cafe.
