Jeremy Baum Trio:, Brandon Morrison , Manuel QuintanaThe Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
A tribute to Vince Guaraldi's 1965 studio album, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" - considered one of the most beloved holiday albums recorded. The soundtrack introduced jazz with grace, charm, and creativity, to an entirely new generation, having been heard by more individuals than the work of the genre's most influential players, and influenced dozens of young aspiring musicians, among them David Benoit and George Winston.

Jeremy Baum plays the Hammond Organ, piano and leads his trio, which is rooted in the blues and funky soul-jazz sounds of the late 60s. His style is also informed by the current masters of the groove from the jam-band scene. Jeremy has been a successful sideman, working with Shemekia Copeland, Levon Helm, soul-jazz legend Melvin Sparks, and many more.

Look out for his album "The Eel", featuring funky, bluesy compositions as well as original arrangements of songs by Beck, Prince, James Brown and more.

Ian Flanigan SoloThe Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Ian Flanigan “inspires a nostalgic sentiment akin to wistful escapism… emotional without being weepy, vulnerable without being pitiful, and conceptual while still remaining relatable” (Gallagher, SUNY editorial).

Flanigan's sound—an eclectic blend of progressive folk and percussive fingerstyle—is reminiscent of the road less traveled, paved with poignant lyrical truths of his past.

Local to upstate New York, Flanigan’s songwriting features his rich, husky voice and evocative lyrics highlighting the rural landscape of his compositions. Each song serenades the unity of life and an affinity for atonement—a sound that's provocative, and familiar.

EC Lorick is playing tonight at the beautiful Zephyr Restaurant. He is NOT to be missed!!! If you have plans, change them. :-) You'll thank me later.

E.C. Lorick is an extremely gifted, insightful, captivating songwriter and performer. There are so many facets to this gem:

His voice is just beautiful. Smokey, understated, passionate, expressive, soothing. I could listen to him sing endlessly and never tire of hearing him.

It doesn't matter if he's performing a composition of his own or someone else's composition: At the risk of sounding cliché, E.C. makes everything he sings his own. His interpretations are flawless and original and compelling. His versions are definitive.

His musicianship is world-class. He plays the guitar, the bass, and the harmonica like no one else. Effortlessly, beautifully, dynamically.

When it comes to musical precision, tonality, harmony and passion. E.C. is not to be missed.
