Raybody (fka Katy Rea) writes classic singer-songwriter shit that gets weird. Her voice is endlessly dynamic—feral and tough in its nurturing. Backed by Andrew Forman (Guitar: Daryl Johns, Nick Hakim) and Ethan Kogan (Pinc Louds,) the trio moves between cinematic extremes. Her bandmates—jazz artists steeped in NYC’s experimental and indie rock scenes—interpret her songs with a range that’s both crushing and soaring. It’s the sound of a woman at work: maniacal, but warm. Past bills with: Little Wings, Mei Semones, Allegra Kreiger, Being Dead, Lily Seabird, Bartees Strange, You Bet, Florry, & more.

Paula Langton takes on The Year of Magical Thinking - A reading from the Joan Didion play based on her memoir 3-5PM

THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING

By Joan Didion

A play based on her memoir

“I warned you…You don’t want to think it could happen to you. That’s why I’m here.”

—Joan Didion

Spare, exact, and quietly gripping, The Year of Magical Thinking confronts the strange logic of grief and the limits of reason when life changes in an instant.

In this intimate reading, Paula Langton takes on Joan Didion’s extraordinary meditation on love, loss, memory, marriage, and the mind’s refusal to accept what it cannot change.

MUSIC by LEO DISANTO 7-10PM

My name is Leo DiSanto, and I'm a song and story man and compulsive adventurer. A rural Pennsylvania yokel with a passport, a guitar, and a blog, I've hauled my wanderlust wagon everywhere from gypsy camps in Transylvania to monasteries in the high Himalaya to the wild interior of Alaska. I see this more or less as my existential mission: to inspire and be inspired.

This website is meant to be the nexus for my various musical endeavors, adventure chronicles, sporadic literary efforts, out-loud dreams, swashbuckling blunders, bungling philosophical considerations, and general windmill tilting.

I love to spend some of my time on this beautiful, ape-infested earthrock getting to know the people who connect in some way with the things I make, so please feel welcome to contact me through this website to give me feedback; share interesting factoids, daring recipes, or pictures of your dog; discuss weird metaphysics; or inquire about enlisting my services as a writer/ entertainer.

The term Roma refers to the diasporic ethnic group originally from India, also known by the slur/misnomer Gypsies. The Romani people are not the same as Romanian or Roman, though the words sound similar. Due to centuries of persecution after displacement from India, Roma have developed a number of survival trades, and fortune telling is just one of many. Roma and related groups are welcome to reclaim or use the word Gypsy as they wish, but non-Roma (gadje) are asked not to use or appropriate it.

In the summer of 2020, Meg Gehman, a 59-year-old, newly retired junior high school counselor, lifelong songwriter, and seasoned performer, decided to cross an item off her bucket list and head down to Nashville from her then-home-base of Western New York to record a few songs with some world-class cats. With the help of a Nashville friend in the music business, she found The Studio Nashville, contracted for a five-song EP, and sent 12 Garage Band demos, giving the producer, The Wood Brothers’ Jano Rix, free rein to pick five songs from that collection. Down she went, walking into an experience that was about to change her life.  

“I had no idea what to expect,” Gehman explains. “I just wanted to sing my songs with complete freedom and let the band paint the canvas for me. I knew that I’d be in the room with musicians who were in service to the song and not wanting to just demonstrate what they could do. I’d had years of battling with bandmates to play less, to play more quietly, to listen to each other, and to listen to what the words were saying. I stepped into that vocal booth and was immediately wrapped in the blanket of groove and warmth that these guys wove together. On the first take of the second song, I had to take a break and let out some of the emotion I was feeling. I’d never felt so supported before. It was literally like a dream was coming true. Drummer Derrek Phillips got up from the kit, met me in the center of the room where I was having a small come-apart, put his arm around me, and said, ‘Meg, this is what it’s all about.’ On the plane ride home, I made the decision to move to Nashville. I was never more sure of anything in my life.” 

After making the move, Meg decided to extend the 5-song EP to a full-length album, and, in 2022, she released The Way The World Knew Her, backed by an impressive line up of industry greats. Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist Rix played all manner of keyboards, percussion, and backing vocals (all of which he does simultaneously when playing live with The Wood Brothers). Incendiary guitarist JD Simo (Jack White, Dolly Parton, Stevie Nicks) brought an incredibly diverse palette of sounds to the record. Deeply accomplished and always original-sounding bassist Ted Pecchio (Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Shemekia Copeland) added to the vibe in so many unexpected ways. The aforementioned Grammy-winning Phillips (Sara Bareilles, Mumford and Sons, Alison Krauss) lent his minimalist but always original and tasty style on drums. Adding fully to the sound imagery of the album were the backing vocalists: the Grammy-nominated Maureen Murphy (Eric Church, Lucinda Williams, Zac Brown) and Wil Merrell (Elle King, Smashing Pumpkins, Sheryl Crow) contributed depth and soul.

The album met with critical acclaim. Americana Highways wrote of the release, “You seldom get this kind of vibrance from a novice. If this was sent to Motown in the ’60s, they would’ve signed her. No doubt.” The Alternate Root also had praise for the album, writing, “Gehman has a gift for bringing feelings center stage, and the fact that she bares her soul with such intense emotion is a credit to both her and The Wood Brothers’ Jano Rix, who produced the project. An auspicious introduction, The Way the World Knew Her has a title that tells all.” Pop Culture Classics shared, “Meg Gehman will hold you in her thrall from the opening notes until the final melody fades into the ether. Her emotion-drenched, spectacularly soulful voice deserves a wide audience.”

Gehman recalls jumping right into the deep end of independent album promotion, saying, “I had this great-sounding record - the thing I was most proud of to-date in my musical career - and I had no freakin’ idea what to do with it! I put it on the streaming platforms, made a homemade video for the first single, and kinda watched it disappear into the void. It was the start of a very lonely, self-doubting period where I started to see the reality of how difficult it is to break into the music scene and to question this gigantic change I had made.”

To battle that loneliness and self-doubt, Meg did what she thought everyone should do when they’re depressed: She started drinking after a 33-year period of sobriety. “I thought I was pretty confident in who I was as a musician and a human, after lots of therapy, of course, but Nashville is intimidating, I tell you,” she says. “So drinking again was actually really helpful at first, because it took the edge off my loneliness, and it lowered the walls of fear I had about going out to play open mics and to meet other musicians. But the addict in me doesn’t know how to stop, and I got dangerously close to the edge of that cliff. Luckily, I knew where to go - 12-Step meetings - to get my head right again.”  

Gehman toughed it out, forged solid relationships, found her ground, and is now emerging with her second Nashville-based album, LoveSister, bringing along four alums from the first record: Maureen Murphy (this time as producer, along with backing vocals), Wil Merrell (vocals), Derrek Phillips (drums), and The Studio Nashville’s engineer, Brook Sutton, who mixed the album. Ten of the album’s 11 tracks were recorded at the East Nashville studio, The Bomb Shelter (where Alabama Shakes cut their Grammy-nominated album, Boys and Girls), recorded to tape, and engineered by studio owner and analog wizard, Andrija Tokic.  

Gehman ran a successful Kickstarter campaign in October of 2024 to fund the production of LoveSister. Once the money was raised, she sent 60 - yes, 60 - songs to Murphy, all of which she had written and co-written in her time in Nashville. “I have so much faith in and respect for Maureen’s vocal and arranging talent, ear, and experience in the studio,” Gehman explains. “But maybe more than all this has been her belief in me - she’s been in my corner from day one and is always there to lift me up out of the lonely, dark, ‘what’s-the-point-ment’ times. We all need a champion, and Maureen has been that for me. When I told her I was sending her 60 songs, she didn’t bat an eye. She listened to every damn one. I will say, though, that is one of the upsides to having so much time alone - I had so much space to write. Plus, going to open mics around town connected me with a lot of great songwriters. That became my full-time focus.”   

From that collection of 60, Murphy and Gehman settled on 16 songs for the project, rounding out the band with another collection of Nashville’s finest.  Multi-instrumentalist Freddy Angelico (Brandy Clark, Uncle Kracker, Molly Tuttle), whom Nashville Scene calls “an ace of all things stringed,” lent his significant guitar prowess. Ryan Madora, bassist for such greats as ZAYN, Allison Russell, and Lamont Dozier, held down the pocket with drummer Phillips, with whom she shares a long-standing friendship and plenty of musical collaborations that stretch back years. One of the most notable instrumental shifts for Gehman was the strong use of the Hammond B3 on LoveSister. For this, she went to keyboardist Mike Hicks (Keb’ Mo’, Buddy Guy, Michael McDonald).  

Gehman says, "Every single person on this project was brought on not only because of their immense talent, but also because they are a group of beautiful humans. This wasn't a group of hired guns - although that is exactly who they are for so many of today's most accomplished artists. This was a group of brothers and sisters sharing decades of experiences with one another, and whom I knew would come to the studio without egos, with a deep respect for each other and the process, with the ears to listen to each other, and the talent on their instruments to make LoveSister come to life. And that is exactly what they did.”

LoveSister’s first single, “The Dawn,” was co-written with a salty ol’ cowboy by the name of LH Halliburton, who Meg met at one of her favorite open mics in East Nashville at a tucked-away-upstairs venue dedicated to the writer, The Bowery Vault. (Meg is now one of the hosts of that open mic.) “I thought I was always the oldest person in the room - and thatain't easy - ’til I met LH,” Gehman says, chuckling. Written on a couple acoustic guitars in Meg’s living room, the song transformed in the studio into a slow-building gospel anthem that encourages the listener not to give up five minutes before the miracle. The choir comes in after the lines: It gets harder and harder to cope / And sometimes faith / That’s a slippery slope / Trust feels like walking a tightrope / But at the end of the tunnel there’s hope. 

The record’s second single, “LoveSister Whisper,” was channeled by Meg in the living room of her rented East Nashville bungalow at the end of her first year in town. Guided that evening by a sacred psilocybin journey, she discovered something. “I’d been hearing and taking in what other people had to say about me since I’d made the move to Nashville,” she recalls.      “Really beautiful, complimentary things. Not just about my music, but also about the person that I am. That night, like it always does for better or worse, the medicine showed me the truth: I am who these people are telling me they see. I’m not the broken thing. That was the exact moment this song came through. It’s f*cking weird to write a song about yourself like that, but it’s the truth, and I’m not afraid of it any more." 

Then there’s “Get It Before It’s Gone,” a gritty, down-tempo, back-room blues track capturing the torture of addiction, a subject Gehman’s had a lifetime of experience with. “I started getting high when I was 11 years old,” she says. “I had a desperate need to numb the loneliness that consumed me. For the next 16 years, I stayed numb. Getting clean and sober at 27 saved my life, but the pull to want to check out is always hovering close by, seductive and hypnotic, like the snake, Kaa, from ‘The Jungle Book’ singing, ‘Trust in me.’” “Get It Before It’s Gone” throws a haunting spotlight on that seduction, with Hicks’ sizzling Hammond B3 undercurrent and Angelico’s searing guitar work. The chorus begins: There’s a flash of a match / Over there in the alley / A crackle, a hiss / So seductive and strong. But the song isn’t just about the pull, it’s really about seizing the moment to not be hypnotized by it, and the chorus ends with: But these pipe dreams ain’t real / And this moment is passing / Like that smoke disappearing / I got to get it before it’s gone.  

The album’s overall feel, song to song, is one of great storytelling, deeply pocketed grooves, and clear messages of hope for this very dark time we find ourselves in. LoveSister is an album that the listener will return to over and over to discover the lyrical Easter eggs, the messages, and the carefully crafted masterful musical performances. And, it’s entirely possible that one just might find and grab hold of the golden thread of hope that weaves itself through these songs and begin to believe, as Meg sings, that it’s always darkest before the dawn.

The Glass Hours are American songwriters Megan Barbera and Brad Armstrong. Combining influences from Megan’s Colorado mountain roots and Brad’s Birmingham, AL southern roots, the Americana/Country Folk duo met in New York’s Hudson Valley in Summer 2022 and began writing and performing together immediately. They recorded their first album the following spring.

Their self-titled debut album was released by Cornelius Chapel Records in March 2024, and several songs from the album were featured by Americana UK, The Bluegrass Situation and Americana Highways. The duo was invited to play NYC’s Underwater Sunshine Festival, an annual music showcase curated by Adam Duritz, lead singer for Counting Crows. From there, they self-booked two national tours in 2024 and began writing their second album while on tour in the West.

The Glass Hours second album, Chapel Glass, was recorded in November 2024 at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, MS. Chapel Glass is set for release September 19, 2025.

6:30: Julia Greenberg

Indie-folk artist Julia Greenberg released her 'Born Sentimental' EP this past June on Montclair's Magic Door Record Label. Co-produced with Bob Perry, it is a deeply personal record that blends the dust and edge of alternative country with the sharp lyricism and melodic elegance of classic American songwriting, creating something strikingly human — tender, weathered, and unguardedly sincere. "Rooted in an unhurried Americana sensibility... There is an understated literary intelligence to the songwriting, where humor, grief, memory, and resignation coexist in delicate balance, rewarding close listening with unexpected emotional depth" ~ The Spill Magazine on Born Sentimental

Greenberg has released two prior albums - 'Past Your Eyes' and 'Greenland' - both produced by James Mastro (The Bongos, Mott the Hoople, Ian Hunter, Patti Smith, John Cale). Her music has been featured on 'This American Life' (including the ever-popular Dr. Phil episode, in which Phil Collins evaluates a breakup song she co-wrote), and Ronnie Spector also recorded one of her songs.Greenberg's award-winning  music documentary 'Dory Previn: On My Way to Where' can now be watched on PBS, having had its world premiere at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in 2024.  Apart from co-writing the hit off-Broadway rock opera 'People Are Wrong!' with Robin Goldwasser, she composed the music for the off-Broadway play 'Cavedweller' with "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" composer Stephen Trask. In her spare time, she is a health justice advocate and co-curates the music program at the Rock Valley Schoolhouse in the Catskills.

8-10ish: MILTON

A songwriter’s songwriter, known for his lyric craft, distinctive voice and soulful songs steeped in classic rhythm & blues, pop, jazz, folk and country, Milton first gained notoriety in his hometown New York City when his song “In The City” became a hit on New York’s WFUV radio. His live performances, which include material from every one of his albums, are praised for their wit, humor, and captivating charm.

Milton has toured extensively throughout the states since 2005, as a headliner and appearing as support for his hero and mentor Chris Smither, in addition to shows and tours with Joan Osborne, Steave Earle, Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore,  Sonny Landreth, Colin Hay, Kat Edmonson, Josh Ritter and many more.

In late 2019, Milton premiered his 5th and finest album Studio City with a sold out show at City Vineyard NYC.  The album, a veritable tour de force of songwriting and studio craft, features 12 ultra-catchy, concise tunes ranging in style from Sinatra-esque full orchestra swing, to Sgt. Pepper-like whimsical comedy to vintage country and New Orleans rhythm and blues.  In concert, Milton and his ultra-sharp band of NYC veteran session players deliver the songs seamlessly with Milton’s own graceful live arrangements.

The Mammals are folksingers Ruth Ungar, Mike Merenda, and a cohort of compelling collaborators who form a touring quintet on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, organ, bass, and drums. Over the past 20 years they have quietly composed a canon of original songs (“some of the best songwriting of their generation.” -LA Times) that both reflect our culture and offer a vision of how the world might yet be.  “These days we sing about what we’re for over what we’re against,” says songwriter, Mike Merenda, and what they're for is "nothing short of sublime” according to Americana UK.

A rough and tumble decade in the 00's forged The Mammals identity as "subversive acoustic traditionalists” (Boston Globe) or a "party band with a conscience." Re-emerging in 2017 from a hibernation period during-which the band's founders explored new songwriting terrain, The Mammals “don’t suffer from multiple genre syndrome, they celebrate it as if gleefully aware that the sound barriers separating old-timey music, vintage pop and contemporary folk are as permeable as cotton” (Washington Post).  Their latest album, Nonet, "marshalls the defiant spirit needed to heal a damaged world" (No Depression).  In 2023 they released a series of singles recorded at their own Humble Abode Music, as well as issuing bonus material from 2020’s landmark Nonet album. 

Ruth is the daughter of legendary fiddler, Jay Ungar, composer of the storied “Ashokan Farewell.” You can catch The Mammals semi-annually at The Hoot, a folk festival they curate and produce at The Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, NY.

“Hailed by many as Americana trailblazers and exuding togetherness on stage, [The Mammals] are also gently-mannered activists with well-crafted songs that successfully ask potent questions and raise issues to probe how we can improve the planet. They deliver their material persuasively and in an eloquent manner with enjoyment of their music underpinning the approach overall. The music is the motivator throughout.”

"In the vanguard of today's vibrant folk revival" - PopMatters

“A national treasure.” - Anais Mitchell 

“One of New York State’s finest treasures.” - Americana UK 

"Some of the best folk-rock music you will ever hear.” - TapeOp 

“Some of the best songwriting of their generation.” - LA Times 

“These two will shatter any preconceived stereotypical notions of what it means to be a folk musician.” - Coastal Journal  

“Nonet marshals the defiant spirit needed to heal a damaged world”   - No Depression 

“The Mammals tell stories that are at once topical and timeless, bearing a message of hope 
and empowerment with a modern string-band sound.”   - Freshgrass Festival
