Gandalf Murphy and The Slambovian Circus of DreamsBodles Opera House
39 Main Street
Chester, NY   See Map
Formed in Sleepy Hollow, New York in the late 90's, Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams is one of the best known and loved bands in their home state, singled out as Hudson Valley Magazine's "Band of the Year" for the past 3 years. On stage they create an enchanting atmosphere, using traditional folk instruments, tasty electric guitar and the distinctive singing and songwriting of Joziah Longo. Citing influences as diverse as Hank Williams, Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band and early Pink Floyd, Longo describes the band's music as "punk-classical-hillbilly-Floyd", a mental rollercoaster of whimsical, thought-provoking songs.

SLAID CLEAVES, also guest The YaYas
Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Slaid Cleaves' bio, written with humble but poetic economy by the artist himself, neatly sums up everything you really need to know about the man: "Slaid Cleaves. Grew up in Maine. Lives in Texas. Writes songs. Makes Records. Travels around. Tries to be good." Anyone who has heard him perform would testify that he certainly succeeds at being good in one sense: He most definitely is a good musician! Slaid's music is marked by both the quirky blend of isolated eccentricity & steely resilience of his Yankee upbringing, and the weathered soul of Texas, the state he has called home for over a decade now. First registering on the national folk scene by winning the Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk competition in 1992, Cleaves released his national debut No Angel Knows in 1997, following a string of self-released albums and many nights logged in folk clubs as both a performer and a soundman.

Furthermore . . . you will have a good time.

An all-ages show, nice for those who prefer a non-alcoholic environment. NO COVER

And of course, we raise our collective coffee cups to toast and give a special thank-you to the New Paltz Muddy Cup for their continuing support of our music.

Frances Kramer
Singer-Songwriter
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
This is what happens when a talented singer/songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist taps into the deep roots of American music with a pop sensibility to create original music that is as entertaining as it is sincere and heartfelt.

Raised on classical, pop, folk, and rock music in historic Wethersfield, Connecticut (one of the hippest places to be in the 1600’s), Frances Kramer was trained on piano and oboe and self-taught on guitar, banjo, and voice. After making an escape from Bryn Mawr College, she found herself singing country and folk tunes and playing the banjo for a meager living followed by singing and playing guitar in rock bands for no living. While living in a converted school bus camper in the northeast corner of the state, she began to compose poetry and to write songs and instrumental music.

Doors At 7pm; Show At 8pm

Tickets $25

When Julian Lage emerged on the music scene 13 years ago, the young San Francisco Bay Area-based musician was not only deemed a guitar-playing prodigy, but he was also offered record deals on numerous occasions. Playing a unique style that melded blues, classical, folk and jazz influences, Lage decided to wait for the right moment to document his own music.

He chooses instead to become a sideman with established instrumentalists like Gary Burton and to collaborate with contemporaries such as pianist Taylor Eigsti. Along the way, Lage received recognition from musical luminaries, including Herbie Hancock and Béla Fleck, and patiently waited until he was ready to go into a studio with a band of like-minded players to realize his own musical vision.

Melvin Taylor's Back!
with The Melvin Taylor Blues Band
Blues
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Chicago Blues artist Melvin Taylor plays with the skill and virtuosity of guitar greats such as Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix. His unique style of blending Blues, Jazz and Rock are something to witness. "His execution of lightening speed runs, infused with jazz embellishments reminiscent of Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Jimi Hendrix and Kenny Burell are mind boggling." So true.

Speaking of George Benson, he just happens to be playing the Paramount the very same night Melvin will be at 12 Grapes. Last summer, Patti LaBelle's band made a cameo appearance at 12 Grapes and played onstage with Melvin... it was unforgettable. Who knows what surprise awaits us this time!

MAKE YOUR DINNER RESERVATIONS EARLY. This show will sell out.

Pawling, NY   See Map
After receiving a scholarship to play Division I college baseball, TJay had been pursuing a career as a professional baseball player, playing gigs on the side to raise a little extra money. However, it wasn't long before crowds started to grow and word began to spread. From there, the choice was easy. Now, TJay is a singer/songwriter/guitarist, but don't let that singer/songwriter label fool you. TJay's style of writing incorporates Pop/Rock with Jazz and Funk to create a truly unique, yet catchy sound. His new release features his trio along with special guest saxophone great, BILL EVANS, among others. TJay has been working his way quickly up the ranks, also sharing the stage with well established artists such as Blues Traveler, Chris Baron (of the Spin Doctors), Southside Johnny, Fastball, Joan Osborne, Graham Parker, and Back Door Slam.
