EMERGING ARTIST SERIES
with SCOTT URGOLA
Singer-Songwriter
DOCKSIDE PUB
825 South Lake Boulevard
Mahopac, NY   See Map
Scott Urgola, a native of Somers, New York, is an up and coming alternative/indie/folk singer/songwriter with a refreshingly raw sound. He balances an inate sense of realism driven by engaging melodies and introspective lyrics. His voice has a Dylan backslide, unclean but sometimes necessary to feel the song; his lyrics on the whole paint the picture with germane brush strokes; his music so indisputably part of who he is. The good thing is that though Urgola displays an innate reverence for the Dylan aura in his music, he does not allow it to overcome him. There is no cover for this evenings performance, your generosity is welcomed. Dockside is located just 3.8 miles off the Bryant Pond ROad exit of the Taconic Parkway.

And her fans/friends have been doing the same for her. Since the release of early Moldy Peaches recordings she has been hearing people say “thanks for making me realize that I am not the only one out there who feels like this” and to this she replies “thanks for making me realize that I am not the only one out there who feels like this”. Kimya will be performing at this benefit for the Dobbs Ferry group that delivers aid to homeless New Yorkers. Also appearing are Anthony da Costa; Hop Along, Queen Ansleis; Griffin and the True Believers; and Dave End.

Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Aztec Two-Step's debut album was named one of the top five classic folk albums by Real Simple magazine in '07, joining work by Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Tom Rush and Phil Ochs, also "surpass[ing] Simon and Garfunkel for exquisite harmonies, musicianship and emotion." Their music was a staple of progressive FM and college radio, helping to bring the music of the 1960s into the '70s. Aztec Two-Step continues to impress audiences with their shimmering, intricately textured twin guitar sound, as well as their intelligent songwriting ~ old & new ~ and their inspiring harmonies.

The vocals of DENISE JORDAN FINLEY express a full life of observation, compassion, sorrow and joy. Her guitar work emerges as uncommonly intricate, harmonically compelling, and rhythmically powerful.
