Annalyse & Ryan present The Songwriter's Lounge feat. Bruce T Carroll & The Whispering Tree
City Winery Hudson Valley Presents Damien Speranza, (headliner), Carmen Delessio (feature) and host: John Espo
Over the span of six years, three albums, two singles, widespread airplay, and knockout reviews, Bruce T Carroll has established himself as an Americana artist with a social conscience and a deft lyrical touch. Using irony and imagery as tools in trade, Bruce’s work has been described by No Depression magazine as “devilishly brilliant”, “intensely beautiful”, and “a fine commentary on America’s past”. His signature songs When Two Worlds Collide, Fox in the Henhouse, and Lift Your Head Up continue to get good airplay worldwide, spotlighting the refugee crisis and political upheaval at home and abroad. His latest release, “First Bird To Sing” is an exploration of love and loss and “a brilliant album that attacks the dark side with a tac flashlight and hope”, solidifying Bruce’s reputation as a “singular talent that deserves admiration” (Midwest Record)…
Called “one of the most talented duos to take stage in NYC,” The Whispering Tree is singer/songwriter El Kleiner and multi-instrumentalist Elie Brangbour. Together, they craft richly immersive folk-rock brimming with evocative lyrics and a panoramic musicality. Their fourth release, Invisible Forces, debuted at #1 on the folk DJ charts, with four songs in the top 20. The album explores a deeply personal and political landscape, with themes of hope, despair and social consciousness.
Annalyse & Ryan are an award-winning Americana duo whose sound and songs take listeners on a soulful, rootsy journey, “resounding from the hollers with a haunting beauty” (Jeff Biggers, Huffington Post). With sweetness and severity, Annalyse & Ryan’s strong harmonies melt together seamlessly with an undeniable edge. A national and international touring act, their music has also been featured on CBS, BBC, Amazon Prime, and more. The duo has written songs for TV (Mattel’s Thomas & Friends and Wellie Wishers) and commercials (Thunderworks). Their 2023 original album, Trilogy, is streaming on all major platforms
