Norm
Zamcheck, better known as the pianist, “Real Stormin’ Norman,” is a
songwriter with a New Orleans flair to his work, although Norm has been
writing music long before that. In fact, his life has been music since
he was old enough to write lyric ideas on napkins in restaurants!
Boston-born
and raised, Norm’s music has touched every corner of the American
coasts more times than most people do in their lives! Having released an
upwards of ten albums, both on his own, and as part of “Stormin Norman
& Suzy”, another duo, his music has been lauded by big-name
magazines like The Rolling Stone and The New York Times.
Mat
Kastner is a down-to-Earth blues aficionado who plays slide, bluegrass
and other roots-guitar styles, as well as electric guitar. He plucks
regularly with the Washboard Slim and the Bluelights jug band, as well
as the Will, Mat and Dan acoustic trio, and likes to sit in with
bluegrass groups like Sweetcake Mountain. Mat has a lot of experience on
his resume! Doesn’t he? The sheer number of venues he has performed at
speaks of it. In his early days, Matt played with groups that’d sprung
from the New Haven area, such as The Morning, Randy Burns and the Skydog
Band, Karen and the Pistons, The Homesick John O’Leary Band, and the
Phabulous Pheromones.
Norm
and Mat met at college, headed to Georgia with a psychedelic rock band
called “Milkweed.” They have been collaborating together ever since,
with Mat participating in the last four of Norm’s recording projects.
The pair recently made their Nashville debut, and are coming to Buttonwood to show us why Norman is nicknamed “Stormin’.” Performing Friday with a bass player

Cary didn’t mean to be a musician. But when her fiancé unexpectedly died, she picked up his guitar, figured out how to play it, and wrote her debut, earning her the Billboard nod.
“I wrote my grief into music and sang my way out of the abyss. I keep
making music to help others connect with their own stories and find joy
in their lives.”
Cary’s
raw honesty and ability to connect with her audience through
high-energy tunes, masterful storytelling, and deeply personal
lyrics has made her one of the industry’s most sought after female
singer-songwriters. Her message of unity and the power of raising our
voices together infuses every show, and Cary’s “Sing Louder” has become
an anthem for the music-loving community. And now, she's coming to
Buttonwood to spread her musical message!
