"Agogo is a live record, a sort of "favorites" album for me. Audiences were walking out of my live shows asking for the same thing on CD.

Recorded on a cross country tour in 1999, Agogo contains many of the most requested songs from the Windham Hill/High Street years of the Go Go 90's. Listening to it brings me back immediately to the time and place of the taping." - Patty Larkin

All Together Singing in the Kitchen is a lifelong dream of Nerissa and Katryna's. This is a CD full of the songs they learned from their father when they were kids. They were so excited about making the CD that they even enlisted their father to sing on many of the tracks! And they hope you will learn the songs and sing them along with your family.

With her sweet voice and exquisitely sculpted lyrics, Dar Williams has carved a unique space within the music world.

Matched with producer Roy Bittan of Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band, Curtis's songs of emotional and spiritual recovery drew on her background as a social worker and, of all things, a drummer.

Book by Nerissa Nields,

Illustrated by Katryna Nields

A right-brained manual for those in their 20s who want some direction on how to do all those things the professors neglected to teach: paying taxes, finding health insurance, getting along with crazy house-mates, cooking a healthy meal and lots more. "If you know anyone who is graduating soon, buy them a copy of this book. It might be more useful than a car."–Gay Daly, Environmental Journalist.

I Can't Be New - CD
Susan Werner's Koch debut, and her sixth outing overall, is a collection of self-penned tunes in the manner, spirit, and flavor that spending a late night working in an office on Tin Pan Alley might provide. There is a beautiful, smoky, jazzy feeling that reminds one simultaneously of Hoagy Carmichael's more laid-back moments, Jerome Kern's humor, and the deep nostalgic atmospherics of Tom Waits' early Tin Pan Alley-influenced material...

This is a brilliantly constructed, soulful, and cleverly tender effort by a songwriter and musician who is in such complete command of her gifts that it's almost scary.

I Rode Fido Home
Released 1995. VSR. EFO's first all-studio recording featuring 13 new originals. Produced by Billy Wolf.

A live solo cd recorded over two nights in December of 2003, Robbie Schaefer's "In The Flesh" includes many EFO favorites as well as previously unrecorded material, all of which are presented with just a voice and acoustic guitar.

Independence Meal CD
12 brand new exquisite performance pieces, complete with musical guests Pamela Means, Lyndell Montgomery, Chris Pureka and Ubaka Hill.

After spending the last six years living, cooking meals, writing songs, and even attending therapy together in a cramped New York City apartment, the members of Girlyman are ready to make a change. Perhaps the title track off their new CD, Joyful Sign, says it best: Sometimes leaving is a joyful sign Like a little child singing, "This little light of mine, gonna let it shine." Band member Nate Borofsky admits that leaving is a major theme throughout the CD. "When we moved in together and started Girlyman six years ago, we all kind of fell in love and had this creative explosion. Now that we're all moving out, there's a sense of possibility and excitement about what could happen next." Co-produced with Bob Harris, Joyful Sign features the band's folk/pop/bluegrass sound but with a sense of confidence, energy and spirit that the trio has become known for live. The album is a showcase for memorable, well-crafted songs, graced by the group's signature three-part harmonies.

After 5 full-length albums, 2 EP’s, hundreds of shows every year, reams of critical praise, and an incalculable number of fans served, where is Erin McKeown to go?

On a Brazilian vacation? Exploring the Himalayas? To her rarely-visited farmhouse? No such thing! She heads to Lafayette.

Named after the address of New York’s much-loved Joe’s Pub, Lafayette is the acclaimed songwriter’s first official live album and an on-record invitation into her other world, the stage, where she spends more than half of every year knocking ‘em dead nightly. Over 13 tracks, Lafayette captures the energy and musicality of McKeown as a bandleader and entertainer extraordinaire.

The albums setlist veers giddily through McKeown’s expanding catalog, taking in a brand new original, material from Sing You Sinners and McKeown's own inimitable classics, some of which are now approaching a decade old. With the assistance of her crack, 6 piece band, many of these new classics are redesigned for the stage. A must for the serious fan or the curious listener.

McKeown gets all citified on this simple and elegant T designed by Meghan Dewar. Navy with sunflower and white on American Apparel shirts.

When Amalee's grandmother dies, she inherits a very strange object: a huge champagne bottle filled with over a thousand dollars' worth of change. Amalee is told to spend the money on something important, so she decides to make a movie about endangered species. Soon there's as much going on behind the scenes as there is in front of the camera, as Amalee deals with a new friend, a very cute older boy, her wacky family friends, and a host of other challenges. She also discovers something she never expected to find -- a link with her mother, who disappeared and died when she was very little.

Little Star CD
Girlyman's second CD, "Little Star," is a collection of twelve original songs tied together by themes of love and war. Co-produced by Girlyman and engineer Bob Harris, Little Star also features Julie Wolf of the Ani DiFranco band on accordion and keyboards, and Joe Dye on pedal steel.

Having released seven albums, including 2005's critically acclaimed MY BETTER SELF, her first-ever DVD, Live at the Bearsville Theater, provides abundant evidence of Williams' tuneful gifts, charming humor and empathic nature.

Playing her acoustic guitar, Williams presents sixteen songs, including most of her best-known works, in solo fashion or accompanied by her longtime backing band. Williams offers to the Bearsville audience triumphant renditions of favorites from her early career like the classic "Iowa (Traveling III)," "The Babysitter's Here," "When I was a Boy," "As Cool As I Am" and the gorgeous "February," along with recent songs like the resplendent "Spring Street," "Beauty of the Rain" and a new song "The Easy Way."

With a dedicated fan base across the U.S. and Europe and with help from Mary Chapin Carpenter and an impressive roster of seasoned players, Catie Curtis’ latest release, Long Night Moon, is one of the most highly-anticipated releases of 2006 for devotés of the singer-songwriter tradition. With ten years of recordings under her belt, the songs on Long Night Moon speak deftly in the voice of a woman who understands fully the joys and frustrations of adulthood without compromising the wit and gentle spirit that have always characterized her work.

Opening Band - Paul & Storm
Paul and Storm's first full-length CD is filled-to-bursting with 32 tracks of their patented trenchant satire, subtle social commentary, and potty humor. From the title-track's lament for opening acts everywhere, to the final song's sweetest-ever reading of the Miranda rights, the duo covers a wide range of topics and styles: rock & roll, country & western, folk, rockabilly, TV commercials, "Schoolhouse Rock" and Randy Newman movie themes all receive equal (dis)respect here. Bonus tracks, songs recorded live on the Bob and Tom morning radio show, and audio commentaries are also included in this, their best full-length CD to date.

(It reads, "[a short phrase that sums us up]") This dark blue stonewash 100% cotton tee is a "must-have"...no, wait that's kind of fascist; call it a "really should have." Available in adult L and XL.

A funny, poignant first novel by an acclaimed singer-songwriter about friendship, music and being true to who you are -- even if it means disappointing your parents and everyone around you.

Portable EFO Show
Released 1998. VSR. A Double CD of live EFO performances. Produced by Billy Wolf.

Quick
Released 2001. VSR 007. The seventh and most recent studio release of EFO. Produced by Billy Wolf

"Red=Luck was written in an outpouring of songwriting. I think of these songs as coming out of the American songbook form. Some lyrical and musical twists added in, along with a stellar cast of musicians(Jonatha Brooke, Solas, Merrie Amsterburg...) along with a subsequent trip to China to adopt my first daughter, make this a memorable album for me. " - Patty Larkin

"Regrooving was the first studio album I made for my new label, Vanguard. I think of it as a kaleidoscope of styles and colors: an Appalachian ballad, played on distorted electric guitar, a samba of love with a cascading cello part that catapults it into the blues, a slamming instrumental that segues into a hip hop beat, complete with samples and musical information that flies at you out of nowhere.

Remember Who I Am (CD)
Girlyman's debut CD, "Remember Who I Am", is a stirring collection of remembrances -of friends, of lovers, of ways of life. The group members trade songwriting responsibilities, though their techniques flow together as smoothly as their electric harmonies.

The second family album. Nerissa and Katryna have been running an age 0-5 music class for the past two years, so many these songs have been road tested by the most discriminating of audiences. As with their last family CD, All Together Singing in the Kitchen, their father John Nields appears on several of the songs. The Nields had so much material they decided to make a double CD. Rock All Day is uptempos for dancing, dinner making and car trips. Rock All Night is a lullaby CD--perfect for playing in a nursery boom box for an every evening going-to-bed concert.

The garden verge, the former duo made up of Ty Greenstein and Doris Muramatsu, was created twenty-five years ago when a second-grade teacher in Princeton Junction, New Jersey sat the two girls next to each other, certain that they would never speak to one another. Instead, they became best friends. Their musical partnership began a few years later when Ty took up the guitar and Doris began to spontaneously sing harmonies. "Shadow of a Habit", released in 2001, is the first result of this collaboration.

SING YOU SINNERS is McKeown's fifth full-length album - a rollicking collection of covers from the 20's through the 50's. While a few tracks will be familiar to music fans, the majority of the songs were collected by McKeown from the forgotten corners of Broadway and Tin Pan Alley. In true McKeown fashion, there is a wide range of rhythms and emotions, all collected under the guise of a mischievously good time.

Sister Holler is Nerissa and Katryna's fourteenth album to date, and it brings them back to their folk roots while at the same time showcasing their growth as musicians and songwriters. The premise of the album is that Folk music has always been passed down orally, and as such, it changes with each generation of singers and songwriters. Each song was inspired by a pre-existing song: there's a revised version of the old spiritual, "Ain't That Good News," a modern sea chanty--even a version of Pachelbel's Canon in D.

Best of all," quips Nerissa, "this CD is green: reduce, reuse and recycle is its motto. There are plenty of great old songs out there; why write new ones?"

That being said, there is plenty here that is new and fresh--long time Nields fans will not be disappointed and this CD is sure to garner The Nields a whole new generation of listeners. Produced by Dave Chalfant.

After years of asking, fans are finally getting what they want - Girlyman's first live album! Packed with 29 tracks, "Somewhere Different Now" has it all: new, unrecorded songs, covers, hilarious banter, and improvised ditties. The album is 76 minutes of pure, unleashed Girlyman, with all their intensity, levity, and harmony. An exciting, self-produced endeavor, "Somewhere Different Now" will make you laugh and cry (maybe both at the same time) and will give you the experience of a Girlyman concert in the privacy of your own home.

** New Songbooks for "Sister Holler" and "All Together Singing in the Kitchen" now available.

Songs For Kids Like Us is the first children's/family album from Robbie Schaefer, guitarist and songwriter for the folk-pop band Eddie From Ohio. Released on Rocket Pop Records in May, 2006, the recording is catchy, clever, sweet, and ridiculous. Featuring songs about everything from a fish that swims in a bathtub to a cowboy who can only speak backward, “Songs For Kids Like Us” will strike a chord with kids as well as grown-ups who never grew up! Really. Pinky-swear.

In a special exclusive offer, Bulletproof store will make Susan Werner's amazing new CD available early. Starting Thursday, Feb 22th we will begin shipping. In addition, the first 100 cds ordered through Bulletproof store will be signed by Susan.

Susan Werner takes on the church in contemporary American life in this gospel/bluegrass - tinged collection of 11 new originals. Quite possibly the first "agnostic gospel" album, this CD surveys the wide variety of viewpoints regarding the church today, ranging from earnest and uplifting handclap choir rousers such as "help somebody" to the introspective and critical "forgiveness" and "sunday mornings," pausing along the way for comic relief in the frank and humorous "our father" and what is sure to become the anthem of agnostics everywhere, "probably not." A project sure to confirm Werner's reputation as "one of the most innovative songwriters working today" (Chicago Tribune).

With Grammy-winning producer, Lloyd Maines (Dixie Chicks, James McMurtry), EFO presents their ninth CD. With 15 songs, it's unlike any past EFO record - electrified - energized, yet still genre-hopping under the wide umbrella of folk rock, and still lyrically driven, spinning tales of love, war and hand gestures used in traffic. "THIS IS ME". This is Eddie from Ohio. This is their best work to date.

This Town is Wrong CD
Nerissa & Katryna's newest CD on Zoe/Rounder Records...The quirky, emotive songs of Nerissa and Katryna Nields have always challenged the mind, even as they touched the heart. With This Town Is Wrong, the sisters take their most ambitious musical and cerebral journey yet, a trip into the world of two misunderstood 13-year-old girls who plunge into songwriting to ease the ache of pre-adolescence.

The eighth release from EFO on their very own Virginia Soul Records, Three Rooms is a double live album that was recorded in the Spring and Summer of 2002 at three different venues (The Birchmere, The Somerville Theatre & Wolf Trap's Filene Center). The band is joined by very special guests Jon Carroll and John Jennings, not to mention an appearance by The Fillmore Horns. Produced by Billy Wolf.

Truth from Lies
"...a remarkably assured and revealing collection of songs, there isn't a weak cut on the album" CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"No Divorce for Straights" on the front. Subtle Sister Wielding Words, Alix Olson on back.

"Sky is my new CD, just released on Vanguard. I decided to challenge myself musically and technically by writing, performing and recording it entirely by myself. Lots of ambient textures on this one, revealing my fondness for trance, trad, blues and world music, along with some very low acoustic tunings, new tunings and new paths taken. Walk with me. Watch the sky." - Patty Larkin
