Caroline Doctorow headlines the new monthly Bellport Songwriter Series at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. A fixture on Long Island’s East End music scene for more than two decades, Caroline is the daughter of world-renowned author E. L. Doctorow (Ragtime, Billy Bathgate, The March), who introduced her to Joan Baez when she was young. Through five albums that seamlessly mix originals and covers, Doctorow has grown immeasurably as a performer and as a songwriter. Her voice has been described as "part Emmylou Harris, part Victoria Williams". Her style of contemporary folk blends bluegrass, traditional country, pop, rockabilly, and even some jazz to create a compelling sound.
Also appearing in acoustic performances are Patchogue Singer-Songwriter Jay Scott, who released his first album Homegrown in June after a live recording at the Patchogue Theatre; and The Casuist, the solo project of Graham Capobianco, a Patchogue High School graduate and former member of the UUFB who is lead singer of Drama For The Masses, a Pop/Rock Quintet from Long Island whose new EP is titled Sink Or Swim.
