"WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS" NIGHT EAGLE CAFE fundraiser, with...

VANCE GILBERT; EILEEN IVERS & JOANIE MADDEN; The KENNEDYS; GANDALF MURPHY (duo)

After 15 years of operation, the Night Eagle Cafe, a venue that has presented and supported many of the same performers that we have featured here at the Towne Crier Cafe, has had to close its doors. Now, the music community is reaching out to owner/operator Ken Millett and is offering him their support in an effort to help lighten his debt load and give him an opportunity to regroup, with hope of reopening in the near future to offer many of these performers a stage in the Binghamton, NY area once again. We here at the Towne Crier are happy to contribute to this effort by offering our own stage for this fund raising concert.

Patty Larkin, Deni BonetBodles Opera House
39 Main Street
Chester, NY   See Map
- Patty Larkin's new CD: "watch the sky" -

CRITICS CHOICE: PROFOUND RESULTS - New York Times
Richly contemplative tracks about solitude and togetherness, open vistas and spiritual quests. Her voice can be breathy and confiding, tinged with the blues or infused with Joni Mitchell's pearly depth... Larkin is deeply attuned to the resonances of her many instruments....meditative chords ripple across acoustic and electric guitars in "Cover Me" and "Traveling Alone," and float over a dance beat in "Phone Message." Countless little slide and steel-guitar licks ricochet around conga drums and filtered choruses of her voice in "Beautiful."

MASTERFUL - Billboard
The sonic multiplicity of these dozen tunes is impressive. "Hallelujah" is a rhythmic pearl that's radio-ready, while "Hollywood"...elicits an anomalous sound worthy of Laurie Anderson. Ballad "Dear Heart" is direct and elegantly done. "Phone Message" - an uncanny mix of insistent drums, ethereal voices and an instrumental arrangement.

ONE OF AMERICAN MUSIC'S MOST DISTINCTIVE GUITARISTS -Associated Press
"Watch the Sky," is an artful, forward-minded collection of songs featuring dreamy textures and percolating percussion... Larkin's delicate yet expressive alto probes matters of the spirit and soul... She pulls listeners in with mantras and searching, Zen-inspired phrases, but brings it down to earth with moments of gentle ache and sweet joy.

GRIPPING - Boston Globe
A stark, yet varied, palette of ambient folk-pop that shimmers softly and speaks in potent, dreamy tones. "Phone Message"...blurs the line between earthy songcraft and modern technology. She nails the misplaced dream of "Hollywood" in a queasy, narcotic thumbnail and chases it with a slinky, beat-driven soul tune more redolent of Erykah Badu than the folk tradition.

Opening The Show: Deni Bonet

The Clancy Tradition's origins are found in Ireland in the 1950s when the Clancy family of Moy, County Tyrone formed a Ceili Band, playing at Irish country dances and concerts throughout Ireland. In 1960, brothers Pat, Eugene and Brendan Clancy left to tour the United States as the Irish Ramblers, playing at clubs like Gerde's Folk City & Carnegie Hall(!), and recording The Patriot Game for Electra. Their musical tradition is currently being passed to the next generation with The Clancy Tradition: Eugene on guitar & vocals, daughter Rosemary Clancy on fiddle & mandolin, son John Clancy on bass, Pat on piano & accordion and daughter Liadain Clancy singing. We are honored that they chose the Towne Crier Cafe's stage to perform & record for their live album.

Tonight, we'll be featuring -- O.K., let's face it, even though it's a coffeehouse, we're NOT playing anything where you NEED a cup of coffee just to stay awake. We're claiming some floor space in the Studio, rolling in the amps and drum kit, plugging in, and making sure there's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on -- so don't say we didn't give you advance notice, Humberto. Furthermore . . . you will have a good time.

We've brought together some very diverse and tuneful friends to join us tonight -- a little something for everyone, just because we don't want disappointed patrons swamping our customer service hotline on a Saturday night [!]. An all-ages show, $5.00 COVER !

And of course, we raise our collective coffee mugs to toast and give a special thank-you to the Muddy Cup(s) for their continuing support of our music [and ALL local music].

WOODSTOCK PHIL FEST: Celebration of the Music & Activism of PHIL OCHS
with The Flames of Discontent, Journey Blue Heaven, Slink Moss Orchestra, Chris Ruhe, Bob Lusk, Marina Mati, Woodstock Women in Black
Acoustic, Alternative. Protest Song
The Colony Cafe
22 Rock City Road
Woodstock, NY   See Map
Join us for the 3rd annual Woodstock celebration of the protest song's grandest voice---Phil Ochs. Performers will offer some of Ochs greatest songs as well as some original pieces inspired by him. In addition to the musicians, poet Marina Mati will recite and the Woodstock Women in Black will speak. This year's Phil Fest will be dedicated to our lost sister Jane Van de Bogart, a stalwarth activist in Woodstock and the surrounding area and the founder of Woodstock Women in Black.

Phil Ochs was a powerful singer who offered a musical voice to the civil rights, anti-war and labor movements of the 1960s and early 70s. His presence at such important events as the miners' labor battles in Kentucky, the Freedom Rides to the deep south and the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention brought him to the heart of the struggle. He was a champion of social justice. The Woodstock Phil Fest recalls and celebrates Ochs' music and activism. Host: John Pietaro, musician and labor organizer.

LEON REDBONE
Acoustic, Americana
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Although Leon Redbone's iconic guise of white fedora, jacket and dark sunglasses has been thoroughly satirized, it's easy to overlook what a genuinely gifted artist he remains. His love affair with tunes from the turn-of-the-19th/20th-century, flapper-era radio ditties, depression-spawned ragtime and WWII folk-jazz is as contagious as a good giggle. Opportunities for this unlikely figure to impose himself on pop culture have been plentiful: his network debut on Saturday Night Live in 1976, making him a cult classic; the wise, animated snowman in Elf (his duet on Baby, It's Cold Outside served as the picture's theme song); TV title tunes to Mr Belvedere and Harry & The Hendersons; the homespun beer jingle This Bud's for You; the Getting To Know You voice on a series of Chevrolet ads; etc. It's easy to get lost in his stage exploits, and overlook what a truly fine player he is -- fingerpicking with a ragtime bounce or jumping between chords with the grace of a card sharp.
