SUMMARY:Singer/Songwriter Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Host Jim Colbert is an award-winning songwriter from Bellefonte\, PA.  Colbert has performed across the country\, playing venues and festivals from New England to Texas\, including Godfrey Daniels\, Court House Concerts\, The Borderline Folk Club\, Hickory Fest\, SFMS\, Smoked Country Jam\, NERFA and more. \nJim has been active behind the acoustic music scene in Central PA for decades\, with roles including Folk Show on-air DJ\, organizer of several music series and open mic events\, board member and booker for the Acoustic Brew Concert Series and founding member of the Songwriting Collective\, Red Winged Blackbird. He is also a published poet with 3 books in print. \n\nLunava\, or Ava Conrad\, is a new solo indie artist from Altoona\, PA. In just under a year of public performances\, she has played extensively across the region to well-received shows at venues including Berkley Springs\, McGarvey’s\, The Windber Hotel\, The Garvey Manor’s Fall Festival of the Arts and more. \nAva’s music crosses genres\, with her soulful vocals and crisp guitar work making her a fine addition to the local original music scene. \n  \n  \n\nNate Gates has been playing original roots rock since the 90s\, has recorded several albums including Ghost on the River and The Big Parade. He has opened for acts such as Kinky Friedman\, Jim Lauderdale and Donna the Buffalo and his songs have been featured on WPSU and Q94. His songs cover topics such as life in the rust belt\, alienation and redemption. He incorporates rock\, blues\, punk and honky tonk into his tunes and sings like Barney Rubble with a sore throat…but this works surprisingly well for his material! \n  \n  \n\nAn emeritus professor of English and environmental studies at Penn State Altoona\, Ian Marshall is the author of eight books—among them Peak Experiences: Walking Meditations on Literature\, Nature\, and Need\, a collection of poems entitled Circumambulations\, and the forthcoming Walden Pond Unplugged: A Secret History of the World’s Most Famous Pond\, as Told by the Pond. Since his retirement a few years ago\, Ian has turned his creative impulses to songwriting and performing in local venues. Given his background\, it is not surprising that Ian is particularly drawn to songs with interesting lyrics. He is a member of the songwriting collective Red-winged Blackbird\, and one of his songs was selected for the Middle Susquehanna’s Riverkeepers Association’s Songs of the Susquehanna 2026. Other songs have aired on WPSU’s “Local Groove” show. \n\nA favorite of the local open mic scene\, Vince Snyder began writing songs in the mid-90’s while attending PSU. After relocating to western Massachusetts Vince discovered a vibrant bluegrass community. Vince primarily played mandolin\, at bluegrass jams and in various acoustic bands\, with gigs at festivals\, community events\, breweries and the legendary Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton\, MA. In 2025 Snyder retired and moved back to the State College area. A warm reception to his music at open mics inspired him to add finishing touches to a number of older songs\, and writing his first new song in 20 years. \n  \n\nA First Night Button is required for this showcase.
