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 and presenting our "Washington Square Park Acoustic Busking Deluxe" Set -- (and making sure there's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on). So don't say we didn't give you advance notice, Iphegenia. 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 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].

NJGGB is a refreshing mix of music, spoken-word, comedy and show-stopping burlesque, features the gals who learned to smoke at Hebrew School, got drunk at their Bat-Mitzvahs and would rather have more schtuppa than the chupah. Brilliant performers consistently seen on HBO, Late Night TV and Comedy Central. These badass chosen chicks boldly dare to deconstruct years of tradition, expectations and guilt in a fast-paced vaudeville extravaganza. This ain't yo' mama's Fiddler!

After cruising the US for 6 years, NJGGB opened at The Zipper Theater in NYC with a brand new score. Rave reviews - 3 stars- NY Post, "amazing vocals", Backstage called it "a spontaneous party" and Village Voice said it was "super fun." Directed by Michael Baron (Signature Theater, DC) and choreographed by Jessi Erian (Urban Bush Women and Adira Amram's The Experience). It's Faster Pussycat in the Borscht Belt.

WOODSTOCK FRINGE presents "The Songs of Joe Veillette and Jerry Mitnick.” Joe and Jerry offer two different and highly complementary approaches to songwriting. Joe is drawn to the theme of love (or lack of love), while Jerry is not. The common thread binding the songs of these Brooklyn-born songwriters is their desire to capture different people and moments in a way that a listener can actually feel. Area music lovers are well acquainted with Veillette and Mitnick from their work with the Phantoms, Blind Mice and the JV Squad and will appreciate this rare opportunity to hear their original songs. $25 adults, $20 students & seniors, Festival Pass $75.

St Gregory's backyard
Rt 212 (east of the Village)
Woodstock, NY   See Map
After an hilarious sing along with anyone and everyone that was at the Farmer's Market on June 17th, I'm looking forward to singing again with any of you who want to join us. This time, though, we're adding food to the mix. Bring a picnic dinner at 5. We'll sing at 5:45 or so and quit an hour later. It's super corny, very fun, and you can be a geek as much as you like at this monthly gathering. No singing ability required! But you'll be surprised: when everyone is singing, those who "can't" blend right in.

Bring some eats for yourself, a few bucks to help with rent and expenses, your friends, and a name tag this time so that we can actually call each other by our first names.

See you then, Bar

PS Please park in the Woodstock Physical therapy parking lot next door....

Special music by Mike and Ruthy (http://www.mikeandruthy.com)

"Max Said Yes -- The Woodstock Story" is written by Abigail and Joseph Lipner, with illustrations by Barbara Mendes. The book, designed for children, tells the story of the upstate New York farmer who said "yes" to the three-day festival in August of 1969 that made history.

The book is richly illustrated and, through those drawings and words, brings children inside the birth of the Woodstock Nation.
