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.

“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!

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!

Hogwild for raw twang, this band plows through their retro-based repertoire with energy, enthusiasm and utter devotion.

The roots honky-tonk mission of Girl Howdy continues, delivering tight vocal harmonies, spare yet punchy arrangements, an infectious honky-tonk groove, and above all one heck of a good time!

Hope Machine is more a traveling hootenanny than a band. Steve Kirkman and Fred Gillen first worked together when Anna Canoni, Woody Guthrie's granddaughter, sought musicians to perform Woody's songs at a hootenanny celebrating Woody's birthday. These days Fred and Steve sing their own songs, Woody's songs, and any other songs which fit the spirit of the Hope Machine experience. The Hope Machine experience is a constantly evolving celebration of the Human Spirit, and acknowledgement of the wisdom of our elders, and above all the opportunity for both musicians and audience to be connected in community, and sing together. There is no cover for tonights performance. Your generosity for the performers is always appreciated. Dockside is located just 3.8 miles off the Bryant Pond Road exit of the Taconic Parkway.

WMS, located just down the street from the Colony, is marking its fifth year this month with a number of events, including the debut of a guitar sculpture by Rennie Cantine in front of the store. The 7-foot tall wooden Gibson SG guitar sculpture honors Ron Osenenko, who ran the shop until his sudden passing last December. He became a great friend of the musicians in town and there have been a number of tributes in his honor.

The show begins at 8 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door. And Woodstock Music Shop T-shirts will be given to the first 30 attendees. For more, contact the shop at (845) 679-3224.

SOLAS

Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Solas has emerged as the most exciting band in traditional Irish music today, and a look at the resumes of each extraordinarily talented member of the band explains the power of their chemistry. The Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine says "Seamus Egan and Solas make mind-blowing Irish folk music, maybe the world's best," while the Los Angeles Times says "Solas offers a compellingly original, strikingly contemporary view of traditional Celtic sounds." Although Solas can play undiluted traditional Irish music as well as anyone alive or departed, they are always varying the mix of fire tested tradition and contemporary sensibility with an ease and naturalness that is as astonishing as their overwhelming musicianship. They transcend musical genres into the realm of pure musical expression that only a relative handful of musicians attain.
