KEVIN KANE Band
Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
The Kevin Kane Band can be considered a throwback to a simpler musical time, and definitely a simpler musical place & attitude. Born and raised in Kansas City, Kevin Kane affectionately recognizes his hayseed roots. "I started playing guitar early in life in order to avoid playing the accordion given me by my mother ...too many stories there!" Kevin's music career started to take off while a student at Yale University, playing up and down the East Coast. Kevin is back now, with a band of uncommonly talented musicians and well-crafted songs which some have compared favorably to those of Jackson Browne and Jethro Tull ...with a little Who thrown in for good measure! The Kevin Kane Band's 2008 release "Beneath Smooth Surfaces" has received favorable critical review, and includes a song considered to be one of the better anthems to emerge from the ongoing financial crisis.

Songwriting with Soul
with Steve Chizmadia
Singer-Songwriter
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
"Country flavored folk steeped in Texas and Louisiana with New York grit." That about sums up Steve Chizmadia, a songwriter from Long Island who has the Long Horns of Texas in his soul. Each song tells a story, and brings us to places across the country in his own endearing, Americana style. His songs have received some acclaim over the years. Steve is a 2003 Kerrville New Folk finalist and in 2005 his song "This Old Town" received honorable mention from the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival. He has showcased at Northeast Regional Folk Alliance in New York, and "It Is What It Is" was #12 on the folk D.J. charts in 2007.

Whether he's singing pull-at-your-heartstrings tunes like "It's Always Texas" or economic-comic-relief songs like "The Wall Street Fat Cat Tax Payer Bailout Blues", Steve Chizmadia is a songwriter not to be missed.

Now living in New York City, he spends most of his time on the road. Jann has collaborated on stage with Renaissance's Annie Haslam and John Tout, plus Marty Stuart, Roger McGuinn, and Rosanne Cash. He has opened for Elliott Murphy, Jonathan Edwards, Strawbs, Old School Freight Train, and Rusted Root's Michael Glabicki.

He's warm, genuine and personable, and his magic is especially powerful in concert. With a recording career that has continued to grow since the 1970s, Jim's songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as Mary Travers and Elmo (of Sesame Street). Dan Aquilante, in his New York Post review, hears in Dawson "an appealing Everyman quality in his supple voice and in acoustic guitar work" and "the musical tradition of Harry Chapin and James Taylor."

Fishkill, NY   See Map
Atmo-Dub-Funk, Brother HijinX delivers that and much more with their latest CD "Brother HijinX." Their self-titled disc is filled with sounds very familiar to that of 311 and other bands of that genre. The vocal styling of Anthony Robustelli is reminiscent of Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman, Anthony Kiedis (same first name says it all.) Highlights of his vocal tracks can be heard on "Chrome" and "Available." There is also some cool, funky guitar work by John Caban on "Available" as well. One of the great things about this disc is the wide number of top session musicians who played on it. With bassists/drummers who played for Govt. Mule, Black Crowes, Rufus Wainright, and Billy Cobham, how can you be let down? All reggae/rock fans will enjoy this record not only for its songwriting, but also for the amazing musicianship that is featured.

Railroad Earth’s music is driven by the remarkable songs of front-man, Todd Sheaffer, and is delivered with seamless arrangements and superb musicianship courtesy of all six band members. They can jam with the best of them, but they’re not a jam band. They’re bluegrass influenced, but they use drums and amplifiers (somewhat taboo in the bluegrass world).

"Even in the new millenium, Railroad Earth's instantly classic sounding songs and timeless vocals could sound at home in any generation." (Felton Pruitt - XM Satellite Radio)

King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Koko Taylor and John Mayall (who gave her a rare and unequivocal endorsement).
