Guitarist Willy Porter & Singer Carmen Nickerson To Perform At Roy's Hall
originally published: 03/01/2018
(BLAIRSTOWN, NJ) -- Wisconsin-based guitarist/songwriter Willy Porter and singer/songwriter Carmen Nickerson will perform at Roy’s Hall in Blairstown on March 15 at 8:00pm in support of their latest release Bonfire to Ash, produced by Grammy award winner Ben Wisch.
Porter and Nickerson are an exciting addition to the indie-duo scene. With their liquid harmonies and unassailable, playful performance chemistry, these two solo artists have joined their unique talents to create music that resonates long after the last chord fades.
Porter’s blistering guitar playing and rich songwriting provides the perfect architecture to support Nickerson’s lush vocals, complimenting and elevating Porter’s songs to make them feel both fresh and timeless. The pair first collaborated on the 2013 EP Cheeseburgers and Gasoline and again on Porter’s 2015 record Human Kindness. In 2016 the duo performed as the featured musical guests on NPR’sA Prairie Home Companion.
Bonfire to Ash marks the duo’s first full-length collaboration. This album charts experiences that bridge the intimate with the universal. From the heady bloom of new love (“Old Red Barn”), to the urgency to save love from skidding out of reach forever (“Loving On Her Mind”). Music critic for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Piet Levy, writes, "Ash burns brightest when Porter and Nickerson share their voices and different perspectives of a lonely relationship on "Echo of Love.""
Porter and Nickerson perfect an engaging dialogue through these songs that carries over into their captivating live shows.

Bach's Brandenburg Concertos With Symphony in C You know the old joke: If it ain’t Baroque, don’t fix it? Well, put away those tools, dear reader.

This Saturday, December 1, Symphony in C is performing Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 2 through 6 at the Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts. Officially presented in 1721, these collective works are considered to be some of the finest orchestral compositions of the Baroque era (generally 1600 to 1750). These six concertos are among the most recorded, performed and beloved works by Bach. – And that’s J.S. Bach, for those of you keeping score at home. There are a LOT of Bachs.
