Curated, recorded and preserved by producer Thom Wolke who produced shows at the 800 seat Tarrytown Music Hall for nearly two decades as well as shows at other venues and folk festivals in the Northeast, this collection of 350 performances features the best of Americana of the '80s and '90s. Including notable performances by Pete Seeger, Alison Krauss, Judy Collins, Arlo Guthrie, John Prine (with surprise guest Bruce Springsteen), Emmylou Harris, John Lee Hooker, Suzanne Vega, Los Lobos, Buddy Guy, David Bromberg, Richard Thompson, Roger McGuinn, Loudon Wainwright III, 10000 Maniacs and many others, this important archive is a remarkable assemblage of well-recorded, mostly acoustic shows.

From producer Thom Wolke: ""Presenting concerts grew out of my love for the music. I grew up listening to the likes of James Taylor, Harry Chapin, John Denver, Jim Croce, Jackson Browne and others. Hanging around Greenwich Village in the early '80s during what Dave Van Ronk called the second Great Folk Scare, I was very attracted to the artists that were the new Taylor, Chapin, Browne. I was even more thrilled to later go on to represent some of them as booking agent and manager, including Guy Davis who just got nominated for his second and third Grammys."" Offering helpful background info, he notes, ""The Suzanne Vega show was her first ever gig outside of NYC. Rick Nestler's song, ""The River Flows Both Ways,"" is the unofficial anthem of the Hudson River. Rod MacDonald is often compared to Bob Dylan or Phil Ochs. Scott Ainslie literally wrote the book on Robert Johnson, meticulously transcribing all 29 songs. Scarlet Rivera played violin in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. Steve Gillette's songs have been covered by everyone from Garth Brooks, to John Denver to Ian & Sylvia. Bill Miller is a leading voice in the Native American community, following in some ways, in the footsteps of John Trudell.""
