The Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts features an outstanding artist every Sunday. Unlike most sets that offer one or two songs from a particular artist, this features one artist for a complete set. This is a great way for aficionados of folk music, bluegrass, contemporary singer songwriters, etc to hear some of today's exciting artists and really get an idea of what these wonderful people are all about. It's also a great way for venues that present live music to hear some of the best "hidden" talent in the country - a potential source for potential bookings.

The Hootenanny Cafe airs every Sunday at 9PM (est) on WTBQ. You can listen on:
- WTBQ.com
- 93.5FM in upstate NY
- 98.3FM in North Jersey and NY

Sunday July 28 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm	Jillian Matundan Singer-Songwriter, Contemporary	Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online and on the radio, NY   See Map
	Jillian Matundan, multi-instrumental singer-songwriter, trade unionist, and first-generation Filipina American has delighted audiences with her resonant vocals, acute and relatable observations matched with her unique guitar-style and sense of humor. Hailing from Central New York, Jillian has been a musician since she was three when she began playing the violin - and has picked up a number of instruments since (and is self-taught on many, including guitar). After a fifteen-year hiatus from writing and playing her own music, Jillian returned in 2019 and has been on a tear ever since, winning multiple songwriting awards, playing numerous shows and venues, and collaborating with musicians on stage and in the studio. Jillian’s debut EP, "Hangin' On” was released in June 2020. Her first full-length album, “Singing to the Moon” debuted at No. 6 on the FAI Folk Chart in March 2024. And the theme Jillian chose for the Singer Songwriter Showcase: Lies We Tell Ourselves
Sunday August 4 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm	Erin Ash Sullivan Singer-Songwriter, Americana, and Folk/Traditional	Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online and on the radio, NY   See Map
	A New England native, Erin Ash Sullivan’s music reflects a deep sense of place, and her lyrics—sometimes heartfelt, sometimes funny—are always authentic and drawn from her lived experience. Steeped in the storytelling tradition, her songs capture where she is in this moment, enmeshed in a web of relationships as a mother, daughter, wife, sister, and friend, with lyrics that explore how we preserve our individuality even as we disappear in our connections to others. Erin’s 2021 debut solo album, We Can Hear Each Other, reached #10 on the FAI DJ Chart, and she was a 2023 “Most Wanted” selection from the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. She won the Rose Garden Coffeehouse Performing Songwriter Competition and the Mark Erelli Judge's Choice Award in the New England Songwriting Competition, and she has been a finalist in the Great American Song Contest and the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Her second album, Signposts and Marks, came out July 2024.
