Pawling, NY   See Map
Perhaps most recognized for his work with Carly Simon, PETER CALO has also recorded and performed with such legendary Grammy Award winning artists as James Taylor, Hall & Oats and renowned record producer Phil Ramone, to mention only a few. "Peter's guitar needs no limelight. Peter is an extreme virtuoso, and he's so easygoing, which keeps things relaxed onstage. He can improvise better than anyone, I think, and when he solos it always seems to be a natural thing." - Carly Simon (New York Times interview) "Peter Calo...is a masterful guitarist" - The Boston Globe

Recipe for DUSTY: Start with three veteran songstresses (Deborah Berg, Sherryl Marshall, and Lesley Miller) blending close harmonies and vocal styles with their original songs, as well as classic popular songs. Add their country-swing backing band and mix in a touch of Island reggae, and you have the recipe for Dusty.

Not just another benefit, but an opportunity to give back to one of Woodstock’s most benevolent of souls.

Everybody knows Mike Esposito’s story: Rock Star to Priest to Bicycle Guru, Painter. What we, the friends of Michael Esposito, have just learned, is that he may be losing his shirt. He and his friend, Lou, need to prevent foreclosure on their house, so we’re organizing this benefit to remedy the situation. We’re hosting some of the area’s favorite musicians: special guests and gurus. Art, musical instruments, memorabilia and brand-spankin’ new stuff will be for sale.

Alpaca Fest!

Shalimar Alpacas of Warwick
164 East Ridge Road
Warwick, NY   See Map
I swear I am not making this up. According to an organization known as the AOBA (that'd be the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association) this very weekend has been designated National Alpaca Farm Days. Now, I don't think this was established by an act of congress or anything like that, but still. So, there is an alpaca farm known as Shalimar Alpacas of Warwick, and they (the folks who run the farm, actually--not the alpacas) have decided to participate in the festivities. And, furthermore, they (uh... the folks who run the farm) have given yours truly the honor of providing the soundtrack for the day. Well, for both days, in fact. It's rain or shine (shine would be nice, wouldn't it?). So, if you're curious, as I am, about how one might commemorate National Alpaca Farm Day, then it will behoove you to come and see what it's all about.

RICK ESTRIN & THE NIGHTCATS
Blues
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
One day back in 1970, 20-year-old Rick Estrin had the opportunity to play harmonica with Muddy Waters and his band in Chicago's South Side. During the break, Muddy called Estrin over, shook his finger in his face, and shouted "You outta sight boy! You play like a MAN boy! You got that sound boy, I KNOW that sound when I hear it, that's MY sound!" Today, singer/harmonica player/songwriter Rick Estrin ranks among the very best harp players in the blues world. His work on the reeds is at once deep in the tradition of harmonica masters Sonny Boy Williamson II & Little Walter Jacobs, while at the same time pushing that tradition forward. For more than 30 years, Rick fronted Little Charlie & The Nightcats, featuring guitarist Little Charlie Baty. But now, with Baty's recent retirement from touring, Estrin has full center spotlight with the Nightcats. Rick Estrin & The Nightcats' sound, while still swinging the blues, is a harmonica-driven, rocking, guitar-fueled rave-up.
