Shawn Colvin invited Vance to be a special guest on her Fat City tour, and Vance took audiences across the country by storm: "With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god, it was enough to earn him that rarity: an encore for an opener" wrote the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in its review of a show from that tour.

Lisa Frieder (pictured here) is an amazing artist. Her lyrics are filled with emotion, and the more we get to know her songs, the more we love them. Keep an eye out for Lisa, she's going to be famous some day.

Drew Bordeaux is a talented vocalist and musician whose music comes from the heart. When he signs cover songs, you'd think they were his own. On occasion, Drew will treat us to his electric fiddle, for a unique sound that is truly inspirational.

Rich Kelly is a frequent performer at 12 Grapes, as a solo artist and also with his band The Track (with Drew Bordeaux), with the Geoff Hartwell Band and others. He has a way about him that draws you into each song.

Individually, these artists are amazing. Together, it will surely be a night to witness. Don't miss their electrifying performances.

The Songs of Joe Veillette and Jerry Mitnick
Folk/Traditional
Byrdcliffe Theater
Upper Byrdcliffe Road
Woodstock, NY   See Map
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. For box office and information: (845) 810-0123 or www.woodstockfringe.org

Peg Leg Bates Club at Mountain Valley Resort
Rocky Mountain Rd.
Kerhonkson, NY   See Map
The Peg Leg Bates Club, part of Mountain Valley Resort, is a monument to Clayton Bates who provided a vacation spot in the Catskills for those who, because of prejudice, were not welcomed at the big resorts of his day. His doors were open to anyone. The diversity of the music this summer (programmed by David Winograd) is another fitting reminder of this great man who can still be seen dancing on YouTube. In his later years Clayton Bates gave free motivational speeches to disadvantaged teens of all colors based on his moving life story. Come and enjoy the band while you help keep the music, the dancing and the legend alive at this most important of Catskill Night Clubs. $15 gets you music, friends and a buffet. BYOB.

DAVID MALLET
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
David Mallett may hail from a small town in Maine, but his music has quietly reached every corner of the world. His lyrics are pure poetry, his melodies finely crafted, and his rich baritone voice and dramatic guitar make his performances both startlingly honest and evocative. He began his career at age ten, performing with his brother at county fairs and grange halls. Over the years he has performed across the U.S. and Canada and Europe at such venues as The Barns of Wolf Trap and Garrison Keillor's "Prairie Home Companion." His songs have been recorded by hundreds of other singers, including John Denver and Emmylou Harris. His folk anthem "Garden Song" has become both a classic song and a children's book, and he received a Genesis Society award in 1998 for "You Say the Battle is Over."

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, rolling in the amps and drum kit, plugging in, and making sure there's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on -- so don't say we didn't give you advance notice, Iphigenia. 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.
