Thursday, June 14 JOHN JUXO & LISA MARIE return!! These two based out of the Providence/Boston region surely deliver as has been written some ?sizzlin' funky R&B, blistering soul, and smokin' red-hot blues?.

First if you?ve not ever seen Lisa Marie before, these comments from past audiences are spot on:

"One of the most energetic and riveting live performances I have ever seen!" "Incredible vocals - dynamic, emotional, and moving." "Watching her, you get caught up in what is surely pure joy - and then there is that voice, WOW!"

And then we have John Juxo... or simply "Juxo" as he's known to his many, many fans, friends, and fellow musicians is truly a singular, one of a kind musician. He has graced many stages, big and small along with numerous musicians and projects both live and in recording and is the epitome of the consummate ?pro?.

The Lazy Sundays, led by Zach Dustin; local musician, Luthier and owner of Frets Guitar shop perform the best of classic rock mixed with some roots, blues and modern Americana and usually with some very special guests too!

James Harris .... Performing from a vast list of popular songs of the past decades. He always a crowd favorite and will do his best to take any request, and the request can be sent to his dedicated phone line for that. How cool is that!

MARC DOUGLAS BERARDO returns to make his monthly appearance at Perks & Corks, featuring his crafted original songs and well chosen covers by some of the finest writers of a generation.

Marc Douglas Berardo is the kind of hard working, fast moving and adventure seeking, keen observer who lives for the story and the song. In what amounts to song length works of fiction, Berardo?s sharply drawn portraits cast a net on unusual and beguiling characters and places. He does this ?simply and well? with what Rambles Cultural Magazine calls: ?careful images and great tunes.?

In the past, Marc has shared the stages with acts such as Kevin Welch, Cheryl Wheeler, The Marshall Tucker Band, Red Molly, John Haitt, The Pousette Dart Band, Cliff Eberhardt, The New Riders of the Purple Sage and The Doobie Brothers.

RI?s Motif Magazine wrote: ?Marc Douglas Berardo writes stunning, sharply drawn Americana portrait-like stories.?

"Berardo sounds like a fishing-town Bruce Springsteen (in Nebraska mode), a soft-toned Don Henley, or a James Taylor with a literary side. The comparisons to singer-songwriter greats are infinite. They're also apt." -Fairfield County Weekly, CT.
