FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS

Julia VanTieghem (7PM)
Julia VanTieghem is a keyboard singer-songwriter transplanted to Brooklyn nine years ago from the green countryside of the Hudson Valley. With a background as a classically trained pianist and vocalist, her emotionally honest solo style evokes comparisons to Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple. While her earlier material explored broken relationships and longings of the heart, her most recent album Rebloom (released in 2014) celebrates resilience in life and love.

Montrel Richardson (7:45PM)
Montrel Richardson is an American pop/rock singer and songwriter from Las Vegas, NV. Montrel relocated to New York City in pursuit of a career in music. Varied influences from Keith Urban to Michael Jackson fuel his ethnically diverse sound. He writes honestly about personal life experiences and infuses his story telling with the accompaniment of an acoustic guitar. He began his career in music singing at assorted open mic locations throughout Manhattan. Montrel is busy at work recording his debut record with Sony/ATV writer/ producer Craig Travis, and producer Mark Wilson.
Montrel is scheduled to release an EP in 2015, and a full album by summer of the same year. He is currently touring locally and will be traveling nationally and internationally within the months to come.

Barefoot Folly (8:30PM)
Barefoot Folly's compositions take the audience to another world. In seven years, he has composed over one hundred pieces and seeks to share them with those in the world that dare to listen.

Marc Smith (9:15PM)
As vocalist, guitarist, drummer and more, Smith initially set out to perform everything himself.

“My growth as a sound engineer is a blessing and curse. When it comes to my own music I tend to go through cycles favoring the recording process over the music itself. I eventually sought out musicians and realized the incredible dimension I was missing as sole performer/producer. It changed everything in the most positive way. Now I have the best of both worlds, engineering musicians on my record whom I trust to deliver great performances. I handle most of the tracking at home and mixing happens at Strange Weather Studio in Williamsburg."
