Singer-songwriters Steven Pelland and Aly Tadros will be featured artists during the monthly “Hard Luck Café” series at the Cinema Arts Centre and Folk Music Society of Huntington on Thursday, Dec. 15 at 8:30 p.m.
The concert will be in the Cinema’s Sky Room, and will be preceded by an open mic at 7:30 p.m.
Aly Tadros, from Laredo, Texas, now calls Brooklyn home, according to a press release from the Cinema Arts Centre and Folk Music Society of Huntington.
Her music combines folk, pop, Mexican and Middle Eastern influences.
“It’s not your mama’s folk music,” Tadros said. “Take the cool tone of Norah Jones, the guttural growl of Fiona Apple, and the unorthodox guitar work of Ani DiFranco — and you’ve got this half-Egyptian/half Texan songwriter.”
Steven Pelland, a native of Fall River, Massachusetts, began his musical career at the early age of seven, learning accordion and organ.
His father, a professional guitarist and vocalist, inspired him to study electric bass and voice during his teens.
At age 19, Steven graduated from the Modern School of Music and began freelancing as a bassist on Boston’s jazz scene.
Tickets are $15, and $10 for Cinema Arts Centre members. Tickets will be available at the door as well.
