Brooklyn based Cricket Tell the Weather, a folk roots project of fiddler/singer/songwriter Andrea Asprelli, showcases award-winning original songs delivered with honest vocals and supported by some of NYC’s finest acoustic musicians. Winners of the 2013 FreshGrass Award, Cricket has toured throughout the Northeast US since releasing their self-titled debut album last year. Cricket’s second album, composed of original, contemporary songs with an independent bluegrass and old-time aesthetic, is due out this summer. The former Tripping Lily front woman Monica Rizzio has brought her East Texas roots up North for her debut album, “Washashore Cowgirl”, a salty Cape Cod inspired project featuring her sometimes humourous, sometimes tear-jerking journey from Texas, love, and heartache.
