The second AND fourth Thursday of EVERY month! That means its time for our Irish Seisiún! What is an Irish Seisiun?

Unlike a performance, the musicians at a seisiún are playing for enjoyment as much for each other as for anyone who comes to listen. There are a core group of players, and others who drop in now and then. In fact, we never know who will show up or what instruments they will play—all completely acoustic and unamplified bringing the barn to life organically!

Usually one person will start a tune, and those who know it join in. Musicians play until they feel like stopping or switch tunes. The origin and spirit of this music is in playing for dancers. If Irish dancers drop by to this seisiun, they will be welcome, too! Feel free to make requests if you know an Irish tune.

To this group of musicians, virtuosity is less valued than the collective effort.

Jon Caspi & The First Gun are a multi-genre band, from heartland rock to punk, indie, Americana, anthem, and even folk...they do it all.

Caspi has been a longstanding figure in the NJ indie, singer/songwriter, alternative and punk scenes. In the late 80’s he fronted the new wave band Bouncing Off Bob, which charted on the national college radio CMJ Top 100. He started as a solo artist in the early 2000’s with the release of three albums, which received national radio play and one was converted into a musical theater production with sold out shows. His song This Town, about the town of Keyport, NJ, became a town “hit” resulting in the local diner naming a sandwich after him, called “The Caspi Special.”

In 2011, Caspi started revisiting his punk and American anthem roots with his band Jon Caspi & The First Gun. One of the band's major achievements came in the form of a barroom, hooligan, singalong and fan favorite, Raise ‘Em High!  This song has become a cult hit in his home state of New Jersey. Legendary WFMU DJ, Jonesey, has selected this tune as his official 2pm toast song which has increased the band’s fanbase and is at the center of a large Facebook group. In 2022, they recorded a new version of the song with Jonesey listener and NYC music icon, Jesse Malin (D Generation), who sings on the track. Dez Cadena (Black Flag, Misfits), who was a member of The First Gun from 2017-2022 is also featured on the track. The band’s label, Fake Chapter Records, released the track on streaming platforms and on vinyl. A local brewery also released a beer, inspired by the track and called Raise Em High! The mayor of Aberdeen, NJ signed a proclamation making it the official beer of Aberdeen Day. The band has collaborated with other notable artists including Richard Holgarth (Eddie & The Hotrods, John Otway) and Pete Steinkopf (Bouncing Souls).  A full-lenth is planned for late 2024/early 2025.

A compelling live artist and storyteller, Caspi, performs both with band and solo acoustic  and has shared the stage with acts such as Bruce Springsteen, The Psychedelic Furs, The Gaslight Anthem, Glenn Tillbrook (Squeeze), The Smithereens, ~X~, Dramarama, Willie Nile, Jeffrey Gaines, Jesse Malin, The Dickies, Adolescents, The Wallflowers, & many more.

J.M. Clifford is a singer-songwriter and music educator from Brooklyn, NY.  His music draws on Bluegrass, Folk and Americana.  Clifford’s debut record, “On a Saturday Night,” was featured in The Bluegrass Situation and received rave reviews from Bluegrass Today and Holler Country.  Clifford was an Official Showcase Artist at the 2023 IBMA Business Conference in Raleigh, NC.  He is also an accomplished songwriter.  His single “Slow Rolling Train” earned him a spot in the final round of the 2023 Rocky Mountain Songwriting Festival and the 2022 IBMA Songwriter Showcase.  He was invited back to perform his latest single “Complicated Man” at the 2023 IBMA Songwriter Showcase.  Clifford has toured nationally, and his end-of-summer lineup took him along the East Coast, featuring performances at The Outpost in North Carolina, The Highlands Bluegrass Festival in New York, and the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival in Maine. 

Clifford’s upcoming record was produced by platinum-selling artist Ron Pope and features Bronwyn Keith-Hynes (fiddle), Seth Taylor (guitar), Jeff Partin (dobro), and Jeff Picker (bass).  The record’s first single, “Complicated Man,” was released on September 20, 2023 and was added to the New Grass editorial Spotify playlist.  His second single, “Raised in the Ashes” was added to Spotify’s Indy Bluegrass playlist.  

 When he’s not leading crowds in song, Clifford leads his students as a NYC elementary school music teacher and Director of the youth Bluegrass ensemble at The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.  

Erika Sherger is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Northern New Jersey. Though she has been writing songs and playing instruments since she was a child, she was essentially a closet songwriter for many years, practicing guitar and using songwriting as a tool to process her emotions. After life circumstances conspired in just the right way to make her ready to share her music, Erika went to her first open mic in 2019. She felt at home immediately in the warm and supportive music community in Northern NJ and she immersed herself in the local music scene. Before long, she began recording her music and playing shows with some of the new friends she met on her musical journey. 

Erika's songs are honest and raw responses to the different emotional terrain she has traversed, from found and lost love, losing her mother to ALS, to riding her completely blind horse, Levon.

Erika openly embraces the beauty and pain of life, and her voice (both figuratively and literally) is clear and powerful. The emotional rawness of her songs really reach into the heart and have been known to evoke deep emotion in some listeners. The autobiographical style of her songs, set among an indie folk/ Americana landscape, tells stories with courage and humility. Erika's songs ring true with an authenticity that is enhanced by her unique and memorable vocal style, which is most often compared to Stevie Nicks, Linda Rondstadt and Natalie Merchant.

Erika grew up listening to the Beatles, the classic rock of the 60's and 70's, Neil Young, 80's pop (Pat Benatar and Cyndi Lauper), and favorite artists such as Peter Gabriel and the Grateful Dead. Her songwriting is heavily informed by Americana, indie folk and alt-country like Ryan Adams, Wilco, Iron and Wine and many others.

Erika can often be found playing songwriter shows or playing weekend gigs at bars, restaurants and coffee houses in New Jersey and Pennsylania. She released her first EP, Like Birds, in March 2021, a complication of 8 songs she wrote during COVID. Her second release, a full-length album of 12 songs called Bad Wolf, was released in March 2023. Erika is currently recording her third album, which she hopes to release in summer or fall of 2024.
