Greg Klyma and Layah Jane

Born in Buffalo on his father's bowling night, Greg Klyma grew up in a blue-collar town with a blue-collar work ethic and an appreciation of blue-collar fun. He has matured into man of homespun, timeless elegance, clad in a vintage black suit and felt hat, and telling stories with a delightful precision of language.
The stories blend seamlessly into songs, evoking a flavor of Mark Twain, Woody Guthrie, and David Sedaris. Greg has racked up numerous songwriting awards and released a new album, Rust Belt Vagabond, an exploration of his own shortcomings, the way we depend on each other, and the healing power of love.
Canadian singer-songwriter Layah Jane has been seen with increasing frequency in the Northeast US in recent years. Her soulful vocals and poetic, political, articulate tongue have lured listeners at jazz and folk festivals and clubs across North America.
With a sound that recalls Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones and Ani Difranco, and a resonance all her own, this folk-soul songstress is currently touring with guitarist Oliver Johnson.
