Her talent, stage presence, connection with our community, professionalism, performance and passion set a new gold standard. Anyone considering booking her should do it right away before it’s too late and she’s selling out Madison Square Garden. Do it and I promise you won’t regret it”.
Michael Hund, Promoter, MC, Paxico Blues Festival
Drawing striking comparisons to Christina Aguilera with the stage presence of Robert Plant and Joe Cocker, Kelli Baker brings major acclaim wherever she goes.
Known in some circles as “The Phoenix,” Kelli Baker, was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She moved to New York in 2012, quickly becoming a vibrant presence in the city’s music scene.

Recently, she supported Mike Zito on a week of shows in Florida and took first place in Nashville’s “Blues Revival 615”, judged by Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Albert Cummings, and Derek St. Holmes.

Kelli was recently honored by National Women in Blues in Memphis. She headlined the Women of the Blues Fest in McIntosh, MN, and the Paxico Blues Fest in Paxico, KS, which attracted 5,000 attendees. This September, she returned to Paxico to open for GRAMMY-nominated artist Danielle Nicole.
A regular performer at prestigious blues clubs, Kelli has taken the stage at The Rhythm Room in Phoenix, AZ, and The Sand Dollar in Las Vegas, NV. In New York City, she frequently performs at iconic venues such as The Bitter End and The Cutting Room.

Every second Thursday Kate Gaffney hosts a night for all things on the mostly acoustic side featuring guest artists on some nights and Kate in the spotlight on others, frequently with an open-mic or in-the-round jam
Online advance ticket sales close at 5pm day of show
Singer-songwriter Kate Gaffney honed her skills in her native Philadelphia, jumped from coast to coast, and laid musical roots in Northern California. Pennsylvania has since called her back home.... Kate has been a blur of creativity since coming home, with becoming a Philadelphia Folksong Society board member, joining the fabulous Philly Blues Kings, performing at numerous venues, running an open-mic at Poppy's Tavern, and now launching Kate Gaffney's Corner every second Thursday at Jamey's to feature her own great body of work, welcome guest artists from Philly's vibrant music community, and host an open-mic on many nights.
“There’s something about Kate…something a little 80’s, a little 90’s, with a touch of the modern day, all steeped in the Summer of Love. You get a feeling, when you listen to Kate, that she understands the blues, but serves as a muse to keep the blues away. She’s a songwriter who songwriters write songs about. Watching her perform is somehow comforting and her honest vulnerability lends a welcome tone to her concerts. She has found a nice rapport with her audience and is one of the few performers with whom I welcome the banter. Kate is both disarming and razor sharp at the same time.” - Aaron Redner, musician/writer
Singer-songwriter Kate Gaffney honed her skills in her native Philadelphia, jumped from coast to coast and toured everywhere in between. She laid musical roots in Northern California, building a loyal following in Sacramento and within the San Francisco Bay Area music community. Pennsylvania has since called her back home. Gaffney’s festival nods include Philadelphia Folk Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and Hangtown Music Festival. She has opened for a variety of touring acts including Richie Havens, Todd Snider, Xavier Rudd, Chris Smither, Carolyn Wonderland, Jackie Greene, Karl Denson, Kaki King, Elephant Revival, and Dead Winter Carpenters.

MEGHAN CARY
“Can the world stand one more sensitive, storytelling troubadour? If the artist in question is Cary, the answer is a resounding yes. ”
— Billboard Magazine
MARION HALLIDAY
When I first discovered Marion and her music I was blown away by the song-writing and you will be too

Meghan Cary didn’t mean to be a musician. But when her fiancé unexpectedly died, she picked up his guitar, figured out how to play it, and wrote her debut record, earning her Billboard Magazine’s esteemed Critic’s Choice Award. “I wrote my grief into music and sang my way out of the abyss. I keep making music to help others connect with their own stories and find their joy.”...Her latest album, SING LOUDER, debuted in the top 10 on the US/International Folk DJ Chart, and John Platt of WFUV extols, "These times require songs of compassion and commitment. Meghan has several which inspire us to reach our higher selves, and she sings them with such infectious joy you can’t resist joining in."
With masterful storytelling and award-winning songs, Cary creates a live music experience that is healing, inspiring, and outrageously joyful. Her message of unity and the power of raising our voices together infuses every show, and her song, “Sing Louder”, has become an anthem for the music-loving community.
MARION HALLIDAY is a recovering lawyer, native Kentuckian, and now songstress and troubadour splitting her time between Louisville, Kentucky, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She has been a singer her entire life, initially as a classical chorale ensemble and madrigals performer; then for several years she was lead singer of the regionally acclaimed trad Irish band, My Darling Asleep (cdbaby.com "My Darling Asleep"). After establishing a home in Philadelphia for several years, Marion co-founded a Celtic band, The Molly Blooms (with Lisa Timmons, Rosie McNamara-Jones, and Donna Bostock).
In 2016, Marion formed Trickster Sister with her sister in Louisville, KY, and another musician in Philadelphia, to feature her original music, which she began writing in 2015 for her Irish band. In 2018, Marion was named "One of the Ones to Watch" by the Nashville Songwriters' Association International; that year, too, she was chosen by Ron Olesko of WFDU FM Radio to perform at the highly-regarded NERFA (Northeast Regional Folk Alliance) Suzi Wollenberg Folk DJ Showcase; and she was finalist in the 2018 Best of Philly Live Performance competition, securing the runner-up slot in the Folk/Country Category. In July 2019, Marion's debut solo album Rings Around Saturn music landed at #3 on the Folk Radio DJ charts as well as garnered Marion the #3 artist slot. In November of 2019, Marion appeared in the juried Semi-Formal Showcase at Northeast Regional Folk Alliance in Stamford Connecticut. Marion's EPK as well as press photos can be found HERE.
Marion has great breadth as a songwriter. She has found inspiration, for example, in the history of Philadelphia, where she lived for a number of years, writing a range of songs that touch on city's rich and varied past. This includes songs about an escaped convict from Eastern State Pen, the forlorn beauty of Laurel Hill Cemetery, the statue to the Lenape in Wissahickon Park, and the revolutionary war memorial at Washington Square, among others. Click HERE for more information about the Philly Songs Project.
Marion has also written songs on more universal, contemporary topics such as domestic abuse, gun violence, suicide, and the scourge of heroin and meth addiction ravaging our country. Lastly, Marion’s music also includes amusing reflections on the challenges of relationships, as well as an abiding love of bourbon.
The Borderline Bluegrass Trio Borderline plays Bluegrass music with a great amount of passion, excitement, and drive. Combined with very professional delivery, their tight, three-part harmonies and hard-driving instrumentals are their trademarks

They have been described as one of the hottest Bluegrass bands in the Northeast. ...Bob Sutor has been playing 5-string banjo for over thirty-eight years and was a band member at the American Music Theater. Bob is known for his hot banjo solos and creative playing in overdrive.
Terry Sutor’s exceptional voice has the power for that high lonesome sound in traditional bluegrass, as well as lilting softness for ballads or gospel. Her extraordinary Bass playing is the backbone of the group.
Bob Harris is a jaw-dropping guitar wizard and an international flat-picking champion who for 15 years performed with the great Vassar Clements.
The Lewis Brothers (Wanamaker Lewis, Ron Greenstein, Larry Hunsberger, Peter Lorch) are a Philadelphia bluegrass institution. Formed by alumni of the much admired band, Skookil Express, in the ‘80s, they bring something a bit different to the bluegrass table.
In addition to classics from Bill Monroe and Flatt and Scruggs, they explore other genres as well: folk, country, singer/songwriter and rock and roll. Good instrumentals and tight vocals make the Lewis Brothers a solid bet.

Online advance ticket sales close at 5pm day of show
2016 Blues Music Award (BMA) winner and frequent BMA nominee Billy Price first attracted national attention during his three-year association with guitarist Roy Buchanan.... Price is the vocalist on two of Buchanan's LPs, That's What I'm Here For and Live Stock. Since then, with the Keystone Rhythm Band, the Billy Price Band, and solo projects, Billy Price has recorded and released a total of 20 albums, CDs, and DVDs. Price’s album This Time for Real, with the late Chicago soul singer Otis Clay, received a 2016 Blues Music Award in the category of best soul blues album. He received BMA nominations in 2019 (Reckoning) and 2020 (Dog Eat Dog) for best soul blues album, and in 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for best male soul blues artist.

Dirk Quinn is the guitarist for a high energy funk/jazz band based out of Philadelphia that travels extensively throughout the US and Canada.... Utilizing over a decade of steady performing, Quinn has developed a unique and progressive style - one that appeals to a wide variety of music listeners with fans ranging from the jam band hippies to the jazz snobs. Initially attracted to the guitar as a teenager after being introduced to classic rock giants such as Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, Quinn’s thirst for the unique and bizarre soon had him jamming along to the more radical and daring Mahavishnu Orchestra and the humorous, bass-laden noise of Primus. Playing virtually non-stop with countless musical projects afforded him ample opportunity to hone his chops. It wouldn’t be long before the refining of his own artistic message coupled with a fresh, new outlook and a deeper musical/life philosophy opened up to him the world of jazz. Miles, Coltrane, Monk and Brubeck along with the more contemporary sounds of Bela Fleck, John Scofield, Ahmad Jamal and Jaco Pastorius began heavily influencing his musical direction. Liberated by the idea of free improvisation, he was finally able to realize and focus his musical vision.
In 2007 Quinn made his long-awaited recording debut releasing his self-titled CD - "Dirk Quinn". Working the club and coffee house circuit, Quinn became increasingly in demand, playing as many as three gigs a day while getting the occasional call to share the stage with musical legends such as Steve Kimock, Bernie Worell, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Alan Evans (Soulive), Keller Williams, Garaj Mahal, Booker T, Jimmy Bruno, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Kofi Burbridge (Derek Trucks Band), Marco Benevento, Zach Deputy, Jim Weider (The Band), Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Rodney Holmes (Santana), "DreamWeaver" Gary Wright, and Sam Kininger (Soulive) - each performance steadily garnering more recognition for Quinn, who believes in winning fans one by one on the merit of the music.
"QuinnTet", his sophomore CD release, features “thoughtful, original melodies flowing seamlessly over groove-heavy rhythms; intricate song structures giving way to strongly expressive, organic improvisations.” Drawing inspiration from every musical genre, his solo acoustic sound has been compared to the guitar “pyrotechnics” of Keller Williams and Michael Hedges, while his full band compositions bear resemblances that range from the honest, urban funk of Soulive to the brave experimentation of Medeski, Martin and Wood.
Surrounding himself with a group of extremely talented and like-minded musicians, Quinn has been playing shows across North America while receiving an ever increasing amount of media attention. His music has now been featured on over 100+ radio stations worldwide and gets regular airplay in his hometown of Philadelphia. Notable spins include the "Pick of the Day" on WXPN in Philadelphia as well as on the nationally syndicated "Keller's Cellar" broadcast hosted by Keller Williams.
The Dirk Quinn Band released "Live at Home" in January of 2012. Featuring tracks recorded over 5 different shows in and around their hometown of Philadelphia, the new CD runs the gamut from beautiful and delicate movements to evil dissonance; from intricate and thought provoking melodies to hard driving funk and is a fantastic representation of the group's live show experience.
The band’s infectious energy and musical interplay routinely attract listeners that are admittedly more accustomed to lyric-based music. With great melodic sensibilities, rhythmic experimentation and an accessible modern edge, the Dirk Quinn Band is jazz/funk improvisation at its most exciting!

Like a slow cooked gumbo, sometimes it takes some time for the taste to become sublime.... The same may be said for these five gentlemen who have combined decades of playing in other groups into a stew of blues cooked to perfection Five veteran bluesmen with long and storied careers playing America's original musical artform as handed down through the years by the black men and women whose lives were shaped by tribulation and hardship in the American south, largely at the hands of slavery, and refined and electrified in the big citys up north after emancipation. Long is the list of greats who formed and influenced these gentlemen today, and fortuitous circumstance brought them together while performing at Jamey's House of Music in Lansdowne PA, where they played with other well known blues acts.
AC Steel and the Perpetrators will take the stage for a one hour set at 7pm, and welcome guest jammers to perform from 8 to 10pm - offering support as needed.
AC Steel (Steve Solotist) is one of America's preeminent blues players, who cut his teeth performing overseas during the British blues invasion in the early 70's. What do guitar legends Peter Green, Bernie Marsden and Michel Schenker have in common with Steve?
Bernie Marsden and Michel Schenker were the guitarists to join UFO after Steve won the audition but passed on the position due to another commitment. Peter Green joined the Brunning Hall Band with former Fleetwood Mac bassist Bob Brunning and Savoy Brown pianist Bob Hall, some years after Steve left that band.
Back in the USA, Steve's own band Stockyard opened for the Allman Brothers, Chicago, Humble Pie, Pink Floyd, Savoy Brown, Mott the Hoople (where Steve was practically a member) and many others.
During his many years with Philadelphia's oldest blues band, the Dukes of Destiny, Steve shared the stage with nearly every big name blues outfit in existence. It was at Jamey's House of Music, where Steve played and sang with the Philly Blues Kings and the Girke-Davis Project, that he subsequently joined with core players from both bands to form his latest effort, AC Steel and the Perpetrators. The Perpetrators features seasoned bluesmen Jamey Reilly on bass, Glenn Bickel on keyboards and vocals, Frank McKitty on tenor sax and Paul Albrecht on drums. AC Steel and the Perpetrators takes inspiration from many of the artists that Steve rubbed shoulders with, and reinterprets many old standards and brings out new and original compositions.
Saxophonist Frank McKitty grew up in Queens, NY.

In 1986, Paul began a steady gig with legendary Philadelphia-based jazz virtuoso multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Bruce Mills. Mr. Mills’group was the house band at Jewel’s, playing opening and intermissions for many national and international jazz artists.The group then became the house band at Sterling’s Place,performing 3-4 nights a week until Mr. Mills’ passing in 1989.

He has been an avowed blues lover since 1970 when he did a stint with legendary bluesman John Lee Hooker, and tried to coax Son House out of retirement. It was a reunion performance at Boston's Fenway Theatre that Jamey pulled together, with Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield that cemented his life long addiction to the blues.
Jamey has done gigging around the east coast and has backed some well known national blues names. His playing can be found on a number of CDs by various artists. He spent several decades in numerous roles in the professional audio engineering and live music industry. He pursued a degree in Physical Therapy after two separate accidents with a car and a power saw left his right hand partially paralyzed.

Jamey enjoys an old-school pocket-playing style with melodic embellishments, and provides a solid bottom to the music on his 5 string bass. He fell in love with the low end while growing up listening to the great bass players of the '50's on his parents hi-fi, and spent a life-time seeking the holy grail of flawless bass reproduction during his many years in pro-audio.

Having played all over the world together at such places as: SXSW festival Texas, Glastonbury Festival, UK & Dranouter Festival Belgium - BOX SET UK are in the States in June for their 2025 U.S. tour.... The duo featuring: George Whitfield - who is described in Europe as 'The Jimi Hendrix of the accordion' and (Guitarist / Drummer) Tony Lyons who has played Wembley Stadium and the o2 Arena in London as well as Jamey's House of Music with The Lightyears.
On this tour BOX SET UK are set to play a few intimate shows consisting of: acoustic roots, folk and blues featuring songs from their debut album 'Tinderbox Heart' and covers such as Bohemian Rhapsody (the only duo to do so in the world).
The meeting of two old friends and musical colleagues, BoxSetUK have spent the past couple of years travelling the UK and Europe, singing their songs to festival and club audiences to great acclaim. Now they have decided to expand on their two man band live show by releasing their debut album Tinderbox Heart. Still the work of Tony Lyons and George Whitfield, the studio offered them the opportunity to bring their many musical and songwriting skills to the fore. The pair first met in the mid 90s as part of the cult UK folk band Pressgang, touring the world and releasing a series of albums.
Outside of that shared history, both have continued to undertake different creative endeavours - George moving to South Wales and immersing himself in the traditional music of the region, while also starting a business restoring and repairing accordions (always his instrument of choice). Tony, meanwhile, formed The Lightyears and toured the UK, US and South Africa as well as founding the Drum Club music education project and working as a session player and sync composer..
Initially coming together as a lockdown project in the summer of 2020, the plan for BoxSetUK at first was to play a one-off festival in Belgium before returning to their own projects. As is often the way, however, one thing led to another and once the world returned to live music it became a more permanent project. Appearances at folk and steampunk festivals across the UK followed - a profile set to be cemented by the release of Tinderbox Heart.
Made up of original songs and reinterpretations of traditional material, the album is the perfect summation of both their musical and lived experiences. A folk record at heart, it also weaves a world of influences amongst their acoustic roots - be it rock, pop or global sounds. The songs tell stories of love, friendship, myths, travel, history and mortality (including a new version of a Pressgang favourite, the Robert Burns’ penned ‘Devil’s Away’). Closing with the emotive ‘Crossing The Bar’ (“twilight and evening bells and after that the dark, may there be no sadness of farewell”), it’s a record that builds on two notable careers and takes them in a bold new direction

Bob and Paul have known each other for quite awhile...They met when Bob would sit in with the Mason Porter Band. A few years ago they did several shows together as a duo and soon realized that something clicked and they should pursue this sound a little more. The result of this pursuit has been an 8 song recording that one DJ has described as “full of Clever Covers”. This recording is a combination of blues, gospel, folk, and rock tunes and a perfect example of Bob and Paul’s live show. Bob Beach’s career has spanned more than 50 years. With his roots in blues, rock, and folk, his innate feel for the music transcends genre, and can be integrated into everything from hip hop to bluegrass to kids’ cabaret and more. In addition to masterful harmonica, Bob’s skills include strong percussive flute work, and soulful vocals. When not touring you can find Bob performing and recording with many Philadelphia and east coast artists. Paul Wilkinson has been performing for more than 15 years. His musical instincts are founded on the charisma of Taj Mahal, the subtlety of Mississippi John Hurt, and the omnipresence of Bob Dylan in his life. He also can be found playing with the regional act Mason Porter, the Keystone Breakers and as a solo artist plus a number of duo combinations.

Singer-songwriter Kate Gaffney honed her skills in her native Philadelphia, jumped from coast to coast, and laid musical roots in Northern California. Pennsylvania has since called her back home.... Kate has been a blur of creativity since coming home, with becoming a Philadelphia Folksong Society board member, joining the fabulous Philly Blues Kings, performing at numerous venues, running an open-mic at Poppy's Tavern, and now launching Kate Gaffney's Corner every second Thursday at Jamey's to feature her own great body of work, welcome guest artists from Philly's vibrant music community, and host an open-mic on many nights.
“There’s something about Kate…something a little 80’s, a little 90’s, with a touch of the modern day, all steeped in the Summer of Love. You get a feeling, when you listen to Kate, that she understands the blues, but serves as a muse to keep the blues away. She’s a songwriter who songwriters write songs about. Watching her perform is somehow comforting and her honest vulnerability lends a welcome tone to her concerts. She has found a nice rapport with her audience and is one of the few performers with whom I welcome the banter. Kate is both disarming and razor sharp at the same time.” - Aaron Redner, musician/writer
Singer-songwriter Kate Gaffney honed her skills in her native Philadelphia, jumped from coast to coast and toured everywhere in between. She laid musical roots in Northern California, building a loyal following in Sacramento and within the San Francisco Bay Area music community. Pennsylvania has since called her back home.

"We've played every kind of venue imaginable on several world tours, and I have to tell you that this is probably the best venue we have ever played. It's simply brilliant. Thank you for everything done to perfection."
"What an amazing room! A friend asked me today what I thought of the room and without hesitation I said it was in the top five I’ve ever done. It was more than just the great sound, stage and set up. It was clear to me that there was such respect for the musician from the moment I walked in."
"Jamey Reilly couldn't possibly have created a finer oasis for musicians to perform. It's really a gem. SERIOUSLY! Everybody try and get a date there!!! (Just leave some room for us because we're definitely going back!!!)"
"Amazing! A hidden, intimate live music venue with impeccable sound. Sat at long tables next to total strangers and it felt like being with family. Delicious food (and great craft beer the night I was there). It’s rare to find a venue owner who cares this passionately about the music! Two big thumbs up."
"Last night we debuted at Jamey Reilly’s Jamey’s House of Music. Jamey has outdone himself. He has an incredible backline, and the sound, which he engineers is exquisite. Working with Jamey helps make performing seamless. He knows what he is doing and is an excellent communicator. He is also a musician, which helps a great deal (the man has ears). The food at this venue is incredible. The flavor-I can’t begin to find the words to express how excellent it is. If you have not been to Jamey’s House of Music, get down there, catch a show. Get there early and enjoy the amazing cuisine. It will blow your mind."
"This small room is by far the best sounding music venue I've ever experienced. It's a truly exceptional labor of love..."
"Not enough room here to tell you how fabulous this venue is—music, people, food, on-tap beer, and staff are all top drawer! Prices are fantastic! The photos are shrimp over grits and a fabulous vegan burger with vegan bacon!"
"THE place to Jam!!! Jamey is the man, the myth, the legend. Great equipment & exceptional drum set."
"Jamey's is the BEST. People who never heard of the band will show up to listen, because they KNOW Jamey books the official bands, has the great food, great sound, great atmosphere...and now great craft beer. WORLD CLASS JOINT, yo!"
"I tell everyone about Jamey and Jamey's House of Music. Everyone in Nashville knows about this place. I play some of the best rooms in the world, like the Bluebird, Douglas Corner, Third and Lindsley, places with great sound systems, and nothing beats the sound in this room. ...This is my favorite place to play in the whole world."
"The sound is absolutely perfect. I could hear every note of every instrument. Just incredible."
"Great pro sound, fantastic food, great beer and an owner that is a super nice human!!!"
"Congratulations to the incredible Jamey Reilly for spending this (COVID shutdown) time improving facilities at the already fabulous Jamey's House of Music, the best music venue in the Philadelphia area."
I'm a "venue snob" and this place is AWESOME ! Cozy, intimate, acoustically A+, comfy seating, bathroom is spotless, people are warm & friendly ... can't wait to return !
"... a dream performance space. Perfect acoustics, top quality production values, a visually lovely setting, and an overall aesthetic ambience that, like a tea ceremony, lifts every gesture to it's highest level. It's perfection, both for the audience and the performers."
"Intimate music venue with great artists. Offers several craft beers on tap— a full bar bar with Pennsylvania spirits and cider is soon to come. The excellent food and friendly service are an added delight. Highly recommend Jamey’s for an enjoyable evening of music and dinner at a reasonable price. Also very gluten friendly."
"And a special thanks to Jamey Reilly for his hospitality and for providing what is surely one of the greatest listening rooms in the country!"
Says John Nemeth and the Blue Dreamers: "Lansdowne is hands down - number 1!"
This wonderful Man, known to many of you bc he is Jamey Reilly who owns and runs Jamey's House of Music. Jamey did an amazing thing for me. I was shooting one night at his place and he asked to see me...I came back to him and here he was holding up a little button and said to me, "Do you know what this is?" Noooo I siad, "It's the Liza button!" He said, and pointed it at the stage and clicked the button and the stage lights all changed to exactly the kind of light I like to shoot with! I couldn't believe it! Jamey Reilly, you are SUCH a class act. I wish all venue owners were like you.
THANK YOU!!!
"Totally going again soon! A++++++!!!"
"I can't even explain how delicious everything was."
"One word. ..incredible!"
"Awesome food..."
