Chris Smither’s music draws as deeply from the blues as it does from American folk music, modern poets and humanist philosophers. Over the years he has made timeless art with just voice, guitar and a stomping foot. Smither considers himself a performer first and foremost, though the strength of his songwriting skills is clear from the multitude of artists who have covered his songs – from Bonnie Raitt to the Dixie Chicks and Diana Krall. Help us welcome Chris back to the stage at Appel Farm!

When Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman of the critically acclaimed duo Aztec Two-Step burst upon the scene on Elektra Records in 1972, they were often reviewed as having the “east coast sensibility”, “intellectual lyricism” and “ethereal harmonies” of their legendary predecessors, SIMON & GARFUNKEL. They continue to be one of acoustic music’s most respected and enduring acts. Revel in the timeless songs and harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel, interpreted by the celebrated Aztec Two-Step.

David Wilcox is a one-man band who continues to impress audiences with his versatile baritone, agile guitar work and diverse repertoire of original songs that continue to attract audiences world-wide.

Patty Larkin has been redefining the boundaries of folk-urban pop music for more than 20 years with her inventive guitar wizardry, vocals and uncompromising lyrics.

Mrs. Ridinghood has to let her daughter Little Red venture into the woods alone sometime; so when Granny gets sick, it seems to be the perfect opportunity! Little Red's mother warns her, "Be careful of strangers my dear - and be kind to those you trust." Like all children, Little Red has to use her brains to figure out who is a stranger and who is not. During her journey to Granny's she comes in contact with the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker - each one of them strange, but certainly not strangers. When Little Red meets the wolf of course, it's a whole different story. Sign language interpretation provided by Ocean County College.
