Binghamton Live Songwriter Series Returns

Also on First Friday, the Binghamton Songwriter Series returns, with James Christopher and Alex Creamer from 6-9pm on the veranda outside of Atomic Tom’s. James Christopher is an enigmatic musician from Binghamton. He plays bass in the Parlor Cats, but will be slinging some new tunes on the first. Alex Creamer won the EPAC Idol competition this past year with her gorgeous voice. On First Friday, she’ll bring her guitar as well, to shower us with delightful music.

At 9pm, the show will move inside for the Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers Band. Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers is a singer-songwriter, teacher, and author, based out of Upstate New York. His accolades include grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Sammy Award for Best Americana, founding editor of Acoustic Guitar magazine, and contributor to All Things Considered on NPR. His music is light on the ears. With masterful guitar picking, and a delightfully soothing voice, Rodgers is a phenomenal musician. He’ll bring his acoustic band with him on First Friday as well, so you’re in for a real treat. Atomic Tom’s is located at 196 State St. The songwriters on the veranda will be free from 6-9pm, but there will be a nominal cost at the door for the Jeffrey Rodgers Band. Also joining them will be Matt Burt, an Apalachin based singer-songwriter, whose alternative country originals are full of colorful songwriting.
