Greyson Havens-Morris is a singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL trying something a little… différent.

A couple of years ago, a French professor at his former college suggested an entire show “en Francais”. Six months later the Dean of the College presented Havens-Morris with the 2010 “Outstanding Contributor to Cross Cultural Awareness” award for a fundraiser in which him and several other students performed French standards such as <<Aux Champs-Elysées>> <<Belleville Rendez-Vous>> and <<La Vie En Rose>> to aid students with travel expenses to the annual VCU French Film Festival at Richmond.

Ever since then he has turned American audiences on to the eclectic sounds of French music dating back to the 1940s – the present. But, listen closely, not all of it is entirely foreign. Havens-Morris loves to put a French twist on popular American and English tunes as well!

Like we said, it’s a little “différent” but worth coming down to the café this Saturday night (Sept. 24th) for a lovely evening! -Greyson Havens-Morris

Short Bio:
“Neil Cribbs began playing music at the age of five. He played instruments such as violin, piano, trombone, and drums. Early in his life he primarily was influenced by symphonic music and groups from the 60s such as Cat Stevens, the Beatles, and James Taylor. After finding his mother’s guitar in the attic he began exploring the world of Alternative Country and Americana. Bands such as Whiskytown, Uncle Tupelo, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Sonvolt, Richard Buckner and the Old 97s paralleled with Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, Beth Hart, John Prine, and Taj Mahal. After recording an album entitled “35 Sound Start” in 2006 the press, almost immediately, sold out. His newest album “Marionette” has been getting rave reviews from the media. Neil performs his haunting and moving yet distinctly Southern songs using the traveling troubadour’s tools of choice: an acoustic guitar, a harmonica, and his soulful voice.”
