Thursday December 11th • Seth Kessel & Erica Mancini!

Born in New York City and raised in Brooklyn,  Kessel is a well traveled songwriter, singer and guitar player with an extensive background in his field. While having a widespread professional music career in various bands and as a producer/studio engineer with notable success, his focus lies in the interpretation of mid-century American roots music, particularly 1950’s rock ‘n’ roll, classic country, and early jazz. His richly toned voice, virtuosic guitar playing and powerful songwriting make him a triple threat. His songwriting runs the gamut from clever and witty lyrics to hardship.

Erica Mancini is a New York City-based accordionist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist known for her diverse musical repertoire that encompasses folk music from various cultures, as well as genres such as Americana, jazz, Klezmer, Latin, blues, and rock.  Recently, she toured internationally as the accordionist for the acclaimed rock band Gogol Bordello.
