SONiA & disappear fear, Arlon BennettBodles Opera House
39 Main Street
Chester, NY   See Map
Whether in the bomb shelters "Miklats" in Israel or summer camps in Palestine, Human Rights Events, Colleges, Festivals or Venues around the world SONiA is always striving to disappear fear and spread her message of Peace. In fall 2007 SONiA released a new CD with her band 'disappear fear' to the world (al mundo).
"t a n g o" features 13 songs in Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic and English. The music matches the words in poetry about Love, Peace and Equality; themes familiar to SONiA's writing since the creation of 'disappear fear'.
"t a n g o" has been classified as WORLD and Folk-Pop. Latin and Middle Eastern rhythms and instrumentation along with lush string arrangements and harmonies are featured. SONiA & disappear fear began a coast to coast tour of the USA and Canada with the launch of the CD this fall and will end 2007 in Australia.

Solo for several years SONiA has now begun touring with other musicians and has revived the harmonies that her band 'disappear fear' has always been known for with the addition of Laura Cerulli on vocals, drums and percussion.

The Waiting Room - Tribute To Genesis
Rock (classic)
Bearsville Theater
291 Tinker St
Woodstock, NY   See Map
Since 1998, The Waiting Room has been paying tribute to the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis, as well as Gabriel's solo material. The Band concentrates on the accurate reproduction of the signature Genesis sound using authentic instruments such as Moog Taurus Pedals, ARP Synthesizers, Rickenbacker Basses and many different electric and acoustic guitars. They also recapture the live energy and drama of a live Genesis show with the use of authentic make up, costumes, custom lights, smoke, stage props and backdrops to complete the production.

The focus of The Waiting Room, however, is the music. They have studied the recordings of Genesis and Peter Gabriel meticulously, in order to provide the most accurate presentation possible. The band prides itself on presenting a new show each time they play which makes each concert a fresh experience for the audience.

A Great CO-BILL !!!
with Bob Malone, The Wiyos
Bodles Opera House
39 Main Street
Chester, NY   See Map
Bob Malone composes music for Dr. Phil, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider and The Rachel Ray Show, and is an in-demand session player and arranger. Recent dates have included projects for Peer Music Publishing and Kevin Richardson. Bob's songs have been used on TV: Jag, Felicity, Cupid, One Life To Live, The Young & the Restless, All My Children - and in films: Hollywood Palms, Jaded, P.S. I Love You, and One Eyed Horse. Bob Malone has toured the world tirelessly, logging over 100 dates a year both as a headliner and as support act for The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, Boz Scaggs, Manhattan Transfer, Leon Russell, Subdudes, and Vonda Shepard, to name just a few. Current awards include Artist of the Year and Singer/Songwriter Album of the Year at the Just Plain Folks 2006 Music Awards, Songwriter of the Year at the 2007 South Bay Music Awards, and the ASCAP Plus Award.

Drawing from a vast spectrum of traditional American rural and urban roots music, the internationally acclaimed, Brooklyn-based quartet, The Wiyos, craft a startlingly fresh yet strangely familiar sound. Taking their name from the late 19th century NY city Irish street gang, the Whyos, the band began as street performers in New York and New Orleans. The group has spent over six years touring Europe, the UK and the US, honing their virtuosic musical chops and fusing their tireless curiosity of various traditional American musical idioms with their own contemporary influences. They have arrived at a show that is as much visually exciting as it is sonically evocative. Their song repertoire combines original compositions with covers from tin-pan alley to western swing. A typical show may include rustic sounds of the 1930's and 40's as well as electric post-modern sound-scapes with smart lyrics. The Wiyos have recently been featured in the BBC film documentary: Folk America-Hollerers, Stompers, and Old-time Ramblers; for which they played to a sold-out audience of two thousand at the Barbican Theater in London.

Led by saxophonist and Mahopac High School Band Director Rich Williams, the Secret Organ Trio's sound is rooted in the great American tradition of Hammond organ based jazz groups. The group plays soul jazz, a groove-infused style of jazz that incorporates blues, gospel and rhythm & blues. The sound is reminiscent of the great organ trios of the 1960's with some modern and original elements thrown in as well. The result is a fun atmosphere that moves people and makes everyone feel good.
