Series host Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers won a Lennon Award, and a grand prize, for best country song in the 2008 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. In addition to performing his own music, he is a contributor to NPRís All Things Considered, author of Rock Troubadours and The Complete Singer-Songwriter, and founding editor of Acoustic Guitar magazine.

Upcoming performers, with links to their home pages. Shows are at Jazz Central in Syracuse unless otherwise noted.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13
Powell (the Polite Rebel)
with Sean Patrick Taylor and Gavan Duffy



Powell, the polite rebel, was raised on a dairy farm in Carthage, New York, where he was surrounded by outlaw country music, trucker ballads, and protest folk songs. He began writing songs when he was 14 and just released Replevin, his first album as a solo artist. Powell was selected by Savoy/429 Records to lend a track to the new release called The Village, which celebrates the folk songs of Greenwich Village in the 1960s and features performances by Lucinda Williams, Amos Lee, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Marshall Crenshaw, and many more. Powell recently returned from a tour that took him to 60 cities in two and a half months, and he is excited to play for his hometown crowd at Jazz Central.

Sean Patrick Taylor is the lead vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist for the Syracuse rock band the Shakedown.

Gavan Duffy is a long-time frustrated songwriter who, while serving on the faculty of Syracuse University’s Maxwell School, recently found his muse. In his youth, he produced underground newspapers, alternative radio, and participated in the civil rights and peace movements in Texas.

InfluencesThe lap of windshield wipers late at night...love, lost and found...the ring of guitar strings...unexpected grooves...conversations overheard in a bar...weird piano chords...things you wish you'd said...wondering if anyone else knows the feeling...
Sounds LikeOne hell of a cool show. "A veritable smorgasbord for all music fans, from smoky blues to light and sentimental country and upbeat folk songs," in the words of the Syracuse New Times reviewing the series' premiere.

Record LabelWe don't need no stinkin' label.

   About Words and Music Songwriter Showcase

The Words and Music Songwriter Showcase is a celebration of original music from Central New York and beyond, featuring established and emerging artists of all genres in an up-close-and-personal acoustic setting.

The series host is singer-songwriter, author, and NPR contributor Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers. Each show includes:

> A featured artist performing a full set, plus an opening set of songwriters in the round.

> The Song Schmooze, where musicians and music lovers mingle over a drink and a bite to eat.

> Plus special guests…surprise collaborations…and the Soundbite of the Night, where Rodgers shares a memorable moment from his extraordinary archive of interviews with artists such as Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Jerry Garcia, Ani DiFranco, and Dave Matthews.

The Words and Music series presents concerts at Jazz Central, an intimate theater at 441 E. Washington Street in downtown Syracuse, New York (map it); and at the Auburn Public Theater. To reserve tickets, email showcase@wordsandmusic.info.

Calling all CNY songwriters
