David Bromberg Quintet
4/02/2020 8:00 PM
His incredible journey spans five-and-a-half decades, and includes – but is not limited to – adventures with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jerry Garcia, and music and life lessons from seminal blues guitarist Reverend Gary Davis, who claimed the young Bromberg as a son. A musician’s musician, Bromberg’s mastery of several stringed instruments (guitar, fiddle, Dobro, mandolin), and multiple styles is legendary, leading Dr. John to declare him an American icon. In producing John Hartford’s hugely influential Aereo-Plain LP, Bromberg even co-invented a genre: Newgrass.
Add in a period of self-imposed exile from his passion (1980-2002), during which he became a renowned violin expert, and Wilmington, Delaware’s cultural ambassador; top that off with a triumphant return to music-making, and you have an amazing tale leading back to one place: the blues.

Comedians Scott Baker & Vinnie Mark
4/04/2020 8:00 PM
Comedian Vinnie Mark‘s best trick is to change traditional magic into non-stop laughs before your very eyes. Vinnie Mark delivers joke after joke, gag after gag, and leaves audiences on their feet with a real, live straightjacket escape. Las Vegas slick and Sunday school proper, alchemist Mark transforms audience participation, one-liners and a few surprises into pure platinum.
Mark’s television appearances include The Rosie ‘O Donnell Show (NBC), Late Night with David Letterman (NBC), Stand-up Spotlight (VH1) and Fox T.V.’s Comic Strip Live (Fox). He can also be seen in the film Grown Ups (Adam Sandler).
Scott Baker has been a constant on the comedy scene for the better part of 20 years as a world class headliner.
As part of the award winning comedy team of Isaacs and Baker, Scott has been fortunate enough to grace the stages of some of the best theaters, resorts, and comedy clubs in the country. Places such as Tropicana Atlantic City, The Borgata, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods and Caesars resorts (among many others) have welcomed him back time and time again. Along with his partner Al Isaacs, Scott and Al have set the record for the most appearances by comedians at Woodloch Pines Resort, which has been voted one of the top three family resorts in the country by Trip Advisor.
As a former NYPD police officer and boxer, Scott takes great pride in giving back to charities, especially first responders and veterans. Scott has paid out of his own pocket to rent a theater putting on a show with all the proceeds going to the Fealgood foundation that helps sick first responders. Throughout the course of his career, Scott has helped raise over one million dollars for various charities with his performances.
Kirby Jane & Friends
4/05/2020 7:00 PM
Kirby Jane is a professional guitarist and transcriber from the Charleston, South Carolina area, specializing in fingerstyle guitar. Her playing style stems from her roots as a pianist, and her guitar approach draws significantly on composing and arranging methods more commonly seen in the piano world, providing for a nuanced and expressive approach to the guitar. She is also a contributor for Premier Guitar Magazine, and is the official guitar transcriber for renowned guitarist Tommy Emmanuel, and in addition, has transcribed officially for other top acoustic artists such as Andy McKee and John Knowles, C.G.P. In 2014, Kirby and her talking yorkshire terrier, Grabel, were featured on the Late Show with David Letterman for 'Stupid Pet Tricks. Grabel, 15, has since retired from the spotlight, but Kirby is still actively involved with the entertainment industry in general.
Kirby will be joined by LJ and Loren Barrigar for part of her set, and a few other CNY guitarist special guests!
