Up Next - The Folk Goddesses

Rupert Wates at Grounds and Sounds

The Folk Goddesses is a new trio comprised of three of the Long Island/NYC area's favorite singer/songwriters: Hillary Foxsong, Martha Trachtenberg and Judith Zweiman. 

Goddess Martha, a founding member of the Buffalo Gals, has worked in Nashville, sung for TV commercials, and is a member of the group Return to the Dream. She performs both solo and with her husband Tom Griffith. 

Goddess Judith was part of the early NYC folk scene and has recorded numerous times for Fast Folk Musical Magazine (now Smithsonian-Fast Folk). She was also featured in several of the Fast Folk Revues at the Bottom Line in NYC. She performs solo and with the duo Strike the Bell. 

In lieu of having a midlife crisis, Goddess Hillary opted to pick up a guitar for the first time since junior high and embark on a career as a folksinger. Five years later, as one-third of the popular harmony trio Gathering Time, she is also a respected songwriter and performer in her own right.

Grounds & Sounds features the best in live acoustic music in a casual, comfortable atmosphere.  Enjoy gourmet coffee, pastries and desserts.  Bring a bottle of wine and we’ll pour it for you – fruit and cheese plates are available, too. 

The show begins with an open mic at 8PM.
