Our small, intimate, smoke-free and alcohol-free
"Coffeehouse" music room is host to
singer/songwriters from all over the country
who stop in Edom to entertain with their original
music. With concerts approximately once each
month, most of the money collected for ticket
sales will go to the artist. Coffee, Soft Drinks,
and Desserts are available before and during
the concerts.
ADMISSION POLICY:
Since our room is relatively small (around 50-70
seats), we strongly recommend purchasing
your tickets in advance to insure seating.
If you purchase in advance, you will be on the
"Early Entry List" and be the first
to enter the music room! Admission prices are
indicated for each concert. Advance ticket purchases
can be made up to the day before the concert

to arrange payment by check or by credit card.
Checks must be received no later than 2 days
prior to the concert (along with contact info
in the event the concert is already sold out).
Paypal and Credit Card payments will incur a
service fee (amount indicated in each concert
description) to cover the cost of processing
and any other fees (so that performers will
still get the full admission). PLEASE NOTE that
we are NOT a non-profit organization so any
donations are NOT tax-deductible. In order to
maintain a quiet listening environment, we ask
that members of our audience please be over
13 years of age unless otherwise indicated.
COME
EARLY - ENJOY EDOM!

The Old Firehouse is a "labor
of love" brought to you by Jeff & Judy
Gottesman. While we are not a "not for
profit" organization, we still need to
make a small profit in order to cover our expenses.
Please consider making a donation to enable
us to continue bringing the music we all love
to Edom. Donations are NOT tax-deductible, but
sure help us make ends meet. Thanks.....Jeff
& Judy

Tom Prasada-Rao is a musician's
musician - an unassuming presence on the folk
scene since the early nineties. His rich,
effortless voice belies his fine musicianship
and extraordinary songs. From Rishi’s
Garden with it’s homage to Ravi Shankar
to the groove of Sleeping Beauty, Tom’s
music is melodic, ambitious, and reverent.
From headlining major festivals 15 years
ago, to the relative obscurity of a recording
studio - Tom continues to mature as an artist.
That work blossomed into an impressive resume
of producing credits as well as cuts (his
songs covered by other artists).
He's touring again after being featured on
the nationally syndicated TV show Troubadour
Texas and we're thrilled to have him back
on our stage for the fourth time!

Some people were born to be
on stage. Some people were made to have their
name in lights. Some people were born incredibly
attractive. Some people read. Andy is not
any of those people.
Andy was born and raised in the rich musical
climate of Austin, TX and after graduation
from college in Nashville, he spent a number
of years as a staff writer for publishing
companies while playing guitar on the road
for singer/songwriter Jill Phillips (who he
happened to be married to).
In 2004, after realizing that his second child
was on the way and that his wife would need
to come off of the road, Andy released “Room
to Breathe” and began performing his
own shows again for the first time in 5 years.
He has since released three more records –
“Reinventing The Wheel” (2007),
“The Law of Gravity” (2009) and
“Christmas” (2010).
He now spends his time playing concerts and
house shows across the country, and has just
released his new CD in November; “Everything
As It Should Be” which he will be
highlighting at this concert.
“Instead of trying to change the world
with a song, I focused on working with what
was right in front of me – my friends,
my community, my family … my own heart.”
Andy was a Kerrville New Folk Winner in 2010
and was a runner-up at the 2009 Rocky Mountain
Folks Festival, and we are thrilled to have
him return to our stage.

True to their name, Beyond The
Pale delivers a wild musical ride outside
the boundaries of convention. Delighting audiences
for over fifteen years, the band is grounded
in the traditional roots music of America,
Ireland and Northern Europe with imaginative
ventures across musical borders. Where else
can you experience fiery reels, haunting ballads,
outrageously humorous songs and music from
around the world including Mexican polkas
and Texas swing?
They have developed their unique sound by
blending a wide range of instruments including
fiddle, flute, accordion, guitar, hammered
dulcimer, tin whistle, saxophone, harmonica,
concertina, clarinet, mandolin bodhran, percussion,
and of course the voices of band members
“Brisk Irish flavored tunes with a
jazzy edge—Nice!”

Singer, songwriter, entertainer,
poet and teacher, Tom Kimmel is all of these
things and more. Once an eclectic rock and
roller, Tom found his voice as a singer-songwriter
while touring with Nanci Griffith in the early
90’s. A New Folk winner at the Kerrville
Folk Festival in ’93, he began performing
solo, stressing a lean, acoustic approach
to his music and bringing a humorous spirit
to his poetry and storytelling.
Since 1980 dozens of Tom’s compositions
have been recorded by a host of major artists,
including Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash, Joe
Cocker and Randy Travis. They’ve been
featured in films from Twins to Serendipity
and Runaway Bride, and in television shows
from Miami Vice to Touched By An Angel.
An award-winning artist in his own right,
he has released seven solo albums, published
a book of poems and led songwriting workshops
and classes across the US and in Europe.
Bottom line: Tom Kimmel is a unique artist
who continues to write, record, entertain
and inspire at the highest levels!

Part virtuoso and part storyteller,
you might say that Jacob Johnson does with
a guitar what Gene Kelly did with dance. Although
his songwriting has won awards and his guitar-playing
has put him on stage with Tommy Emmanuel and
Phil Keaggy, his ability as an entertainer
is what has won fans throughout the southeast.
He refers to himself as "a ham that just
wants to be on stage" but he’s much
more than that. Jacob is an amazingly talented
guitarist and songwriter which, combined with
a bit of a personality, makes for a wildly
impressive stage performance.
"Part of the new breed of folk musicians
who make their own rules"
-The Savannah Morning News (Savannah, GA)
"Johnson sounds like
Norman Rockwell paintings and the open road.
He is a virtuoso, expressing a working comprehension
of dozens of techniques and styles. He has
blended and blurred the lines of genres to
craft a sound he calls 'Neo-Acoustic Folk/Funk'."
- The Florence Morning News (Florence,
SC)

Chicago-based singer-songwriter
Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable,
soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing
songs, but perhaps most especially for her
warm, engaging presence on – and off
– stage. As much a part of her show as
the music itself, Carey’s wry and often
self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as
though they have just spent an evening with
a very close friend.
Carey has been singing at festivals, colleges,
and listening rooms across the US, Canada
and Europe since 1999, performing alongside
Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Brandi Carlile,
and Shawn Mullins. She’s also been a
featured artist on NPR’s Mountain Stage.
Artists like Edie Carey provide a valuable,
if underappreciated, public service. As per
her official bio, Carey occupies that “middle
ground between singing at weddings and being
Madonna,” and while she might never be
a pop star, this strumming balladeer poetess
writes truthful, elegant songs for adults.
- M Music & Musicians
"Carey may have started
out wanting to be a doctor but she found her
true calling in music. Her pop-folk songs
are smart tales of love, life and longing."
- Chicago Sun-Times
