Amy Kucharik & Friends With Benefits Anniversary Concert with Featured Guest Ansel Barnum
Amy Kucharik [/kuh-CHAR-ick/] energizes swing dance, folk festival and listening room audiences alike. Drawing from blues, folk and Vaudeville traditions and with a street-smart stagecraft honed in the subways of Boston, Amy transports her audience to a place both timeless and familiar, but nevertheless innovative. Celebrating ten years of performing at the Burren, the Friends With Benefits band includes long-time collaborator Tim Lewandowski on trombone, Greg Toro on bass, Erica Risti on backing vocals, and special guests.
Combining poignant lyrics and a danceable swing, Amy’s music has drawn comparisons to Maria Muldaur, Lake Street Dive, and Anais Mitchell. Amy was a Kerrville New Folk winner and formal showcase artist at SWRFA in 2015, NERFA DJ showcase artist in 2016, and a Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist for 2018. Her second full-length album of original music, "Until the Words Are Gone," was released in 2018.
