As a young child in the early seventies, Eric Squindo already had an addiction to songwriting. Since then he has been honing his craft line by line, verse by verse. Influenced by artist like John Prine and Townes Van Zandt you can feel Eric's sensitivity in his songs just as you can experience them in the number of children's books that he has authored (illustrated by his brother Tony Squindo) and his novel about a struggling musician. Look up the word "artist" and you will probably see a picture of Eric Squindo. Eric will be performing songs from his latest cd plus a bunch of interesting covers. There is no cover for this performance, your generosity is always appreciated.

CHRIS SMITHER
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic, and Blues
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Renowned as an extraordinary guitar player, and for songwriting talents that display a real feel for language, New Orleans-raised Chris Smither's soulful vocal style resonates from its finger pickin' blues roots. Self described as a singer-songwriter-guitarist who plays acoustic folk blues, or as a one man rock-n-roll band, Chris visits everything from obscure Chuck Berry to Tin Pan Alley corn with an uncanny ability to inhabit a song with his unpretentiously charming personalty. Among other recognized tunes, Smither wrote the often covered Bonnie Raitt classic Love You Like A Man.

with The Sugar Beats
Covers, Rock (classic). 60's-70's British & American Rock/Psychedelic
Gail's Place
150 Route 17-K
Newburgh, NY   See Map
Are they just another Classic Rock Band? No. Are they just another Tribute Band? No, but they do pay tribute to many of the 60's-70's greatest rock 'n' roll and psychedelic bands. Are they good? Good enough to be selected to be the opening act for Joe Lynn Turner and Eric Burdon & the Animals for this year's Labor Day Newburgh Annual Waterfront Festival. The city of Newburgh wondered why it took them so long to find out how great these guys are, but they found out. They're no Day Tripper's. They were singin' and dancin' on the lawn and street. Come hear why many who have already experienced the Sugar Beats say, "These guys R-O-C-K, Rock!" Get yourself ready for some Hard Knox and Durty Sox, as the Rolling Stones "Let It Bleed" album liner says. Instead of just looking for tea and sympathy, come get satisfaction in the night time at Gail's Place and see/hear for yourselves, the Sugar Beats live. If you haven't already, you'll wonder why it took you so long.

They're back together again just for one evening at Unison. Luscious vocal harmonies made Amy Fradon and Leslie Ritter in much demand as session singers in the early 1980s.

On their own, the two singer songwriters collaborated on six albums during their nine years together. The duo reached their commercial apex nationally with their final album, Take Me Home, in 1994, which included Fradon and Ritter's unique renditions of the Beatles "Rain" and the Yes classic "Your Move" which topped the Billboard charts and aired as a video on VH1.

LORI McKENNA, also, MARY GAUTHIER
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
LORI & MARY will be on stage together as they share their stories & songs.

Lori McKenna was thrust into the limelight last year when superstar Faith Hill included three of McKenna's songs on her #1 album, Fireflies. As one Nashville reviewer put it, Lori's "fearless musical snapshots lay bare the realities of small-town life while clinging to the hope of better days." Faith Hill said "Her writing is masterful, with a pureness that is completely unaffected."

Mary Gauthier's story, strange and scary, is as compelling as her music. She has lived off the streets, sunk to the bottom of life, turned 18 behind bars, emerged from darkness and -- to completely confuse things -- won notice as a respected restaurateur ...all before writing her first song. She sold her share of the restaurant to finance Drag Queens in Limousines (1999). With that [she smiles] "all hell broke loose." Rolling Stone gave it a four-star rave, and other publications joined in on the chorus.

Slide
Celtic
Bodles Opera House
39 Main Street
Chester, NY   See Map
Slide made their first release with ‘The Flying Pig’ which brought them to many of the main stages & festivals at home and abroad; from the National Concert Hall to the Cambridge Festival, England and from the headline act of the German Folk Festival Tour to the Inerceltic Festival of L’Orient, France. Thus lending a sense of the inevitable to their winning of ‘The Best Newcomers’ award by Irish Music Magazine in 2001.

In the years that followed Slide continued to grow and develop. Unable to rid themselves of a feeling that the tradition was beginning to repeat itself, together with a keen desire for self exploration and collective innovation, a second album ‘Harmonic Motion’ was recorded. This encapsulated not only a continuation of self penned words and music but a heightened maturity in their content and delivery. So much so, that names such as Bill Whelan, Damian Dempsey, Hazel O’Connor, John Spillane, Stockton’s Wing, Danú, Niamh Parsons & The Black Family called the artists in on some musical projects of their own.

No strangers to picking up awards for individual musicianship, Slide have continued in a similar vein as a band with the recent winning of the ‘Young Musicwide Award 2006’, selected from all competing young bands by a panel of judges including Donal Lunny. This, coupled with the addition of new lead vocalist Andrew Murray, Slide are looking forward to revealing the latest chapter of one of the most interesting Irish traditional bands of modern times.

Bluegrass & Amazing Artwork
with "Uncommon Ground"
Bluegrass, World
The Storm King Art Center
Old Pleasant Hill Road
Mountainville, NY   See Map
“Uncommon Ground”, is a hot alternative bluegrass group from New York's Hudson Valley that is on a mission to flex the boundaries of traditional music. They're the complete package ... great vocals, fiery instrumental abilities and a constantly evolving repertoire of well-crafted tunes.

“Uncommon Ground” draws on the talents of Mike Kobetitsch (guitar), Sara Della Posta (vocals), Rachel Handman (violin) Wayne Fugate (mandolin) and Phil Helm (bass). Collectively, their technical precision, fertile inventiveness, surprising touches and mastery of the Bluegrass genre, give the band a distinctive, signature voice.

Storm King Art Center is a museum that celebrates the relationship between sculpture and nature. Five hundred acres of landscaped lawns, fields and woodlands provide the site for postwar sculptures by internationally renowned artists. Uncommon Ground will be performing one set from 3-4PM in the Art Center’s performance pavilion. Admisson is free!

Pawling, NY   See Map
The legendary Tannahill Weavers, one of Scotland's premier traditional bands, returns to the Towne Crier after a long absence! Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, original ballads and lullabies. Their music demonstrates to old and young alike the rich and varied musical heritage of the Celtic people. These versatile musicians consistently garner worldwide accolades for their exuberant performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can't get better ...yet continue to do just that. "An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new." -New York Times "Scotland's Tannahill Weavers play acoustic instruments, but the atmosphere at their shows is electric! The quintet is as tight and as versatile as any band in the Celtic music revival. They can summon rock 'n' roll intensity or haunting introspection." -The Boston Globe "...as close to perfect as it gets in an imperfect world." -Sing Out!
