M R Poulopoulos
Singer-Songwriter, Blues, and Acoustic
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Sweetly melodic and often melancholy, as well as intelligent and soulful, Poulopoulos’s songs, like him, are honest and eloquent. His guitar playing makes you want to tap your feet, or cry a little. Sometimes both. His lyrics, complemented by the steady strum or picked out tones of the guitar, always tell a story — some are sad, some are happy, and some, like his song “On and On,” achieve both with a humorous spin — and they’re always poignant.

His musical influences vary, but their common foundation is American blues and roots music. His many influences lend him to the acoustic singer/songwriter style, but without sounding like anyone in particular—his music is very much his own.

To do so in an engaging musical form with a simple story line that appeals to all ages is an outstanding achievement. The wordplay I expected, but he outdid himself on this one." -Joe Cromwell, Westchester NY

HUE MANATEE and his new-found friend, itinerant musician FLICKATI CRICKET seek the wisdom of renowned change agent LEON CHAMELEON, who invites them on a journey to the Galápagos.
