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.

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.

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."

Muddy Cup Coffee House
58 Main Street
New Paltz, NY   See Map
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.

The product of too much black coffee and not enough hugs, the Honeycutters (formerly the Bee's Knees) came together in the Spring of 2007. Since their first live performance at the Westville Pub in May of 07, when the band included only singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and lead guitarist Peter James, they have steadily gained momentum, audience, and band members. Spencer Taylor (Mandolin), Ian Harrod (bass), and Mike Lott (drums) have been added to the mix, fleshing out the live sound and turning Amanda's soulful tunes into great dance numbers. With the release of their first studio album, "Irene", the group has begun to expand their listening area to the greater Southeast. Their original americana, ranging from country ballads to honky-a-billy and blues, is a memorable blend of catchy melody, skillful composition, and honest songwriting
