Today, the Commander continues to balance his arts among painting, music and mastery of the good-time, get-down-and-boogy school of live performance. Come on in and watch our roof get raised, as Commander Cody lands here once again!

PROFESSOR "LOUIE" & THE CROWMATIX perform a tasty mix of rhythm & blues and rock'n'roll, including songs from The Band as well as their own songs. Aaron Hurwitz (tagged Professor "Louie" by Rick Danko of The Band) co- produced the last three Band albums: Jericho, High On The Hog and Jubilation. "Professor Louie's upstate ensemble is an Americana template that jams out timeless rock, country, blues and New Orleans influenced originals." - The Village Voice

CHERYL WHEELER
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
From her albums you can tell that Cheryl is a gifted songwriter with a beautiful voice. But, if your idea of a folk singer/songwriter concert is a bunch of people clapping politely after songs, and then sitting quietly while the performer says things like "This next song is about..." – well, you've never seen a Cheryl Wheeler concert before! Cheryl's concerts are more like what you would find at a comedy club than what you'd expect to find at a folk music concert. She is a natural story teller with a fantastic sense of humor that will have you rolling in the aisles. She might then just as naturally sing a song that leaves you wiping tears from your eyes. Her entire concert is like that emotional roller coaster we call life. The L.A. Times called her "Will Rogers with a guitar"; reviewers across the country have praised her for her singular song writing talent, as well as her richly expressive voice and hilariously sharp wit.
