Pawling, NY   See Map
When describing Cherish The Ladies (taken from the name of a traditional Irish jig), the critics say it best: "It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn't enjoy what they do" (Boston Globe); "An astonishing array of virtuosity" (Washington Post); "Expands the annals of Irish music in America...the music is passionate, tender and rambunctious" (New York Times). For the past eighteen years, Cherish the Ladies have proven themselves worthy of these accolades, growing from a one-time concert concept, featuring the brightest lights in Irish traditional music, to the most successful and sought-after Irish-American group in Celtic music. This powerhouse group combines all the facets of Irish traditional culture – especially the knack for humor – and puts it forth in an immensely entertaining package.

C.B.Smith
Acoustic, Bluegrass, and Country
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
C.B. Smith is the nom de plume of veteran songwriter Carl Bethge. “Performing as C.B. Smith helps me get past my godawful stage fright,” he says. “Besides, nobody can pronounce or spell my real name. Life is way easier for Mr. Smith.”

C.B. writes songs that traverse the stylistic landscape between revved-up bluegrass romps, old-school country ballads and straight-up rockers, typically telling stories about ordinary people searching for some hard-won peace of mind. “My earliest musical memory, besides church music, is listening to my mother’s radio in the kitchen. Back then you’d hear Hank Williams followed by Ray Charles. Ever since I’ve tried to digest any strain of music that turns my head around. A lot of it comes out of places like Kentucky, Memphis and Nashville, but I always try to put a Yankee spin on it.”

Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Garrin Benfield's sound has been described as Freestyle Acoustic Rock: a blend of moody, guitar driven rock, blues, and polyrhythmic grooves. First and foremost, Garrin is an improvisational guitar player, and he twists and turns the tunes during every performance in an ever-evolving search for new musical challenges.

Joe Krzyzewski is a gifted sixteen year old songwriter-musician from Pawling, NY, who has been performing on our stage for several years now. Joe is the son of George Krzyzewski, the director of Guitar Stars Music School. Already, Joe has been awarded with first place in the Dutchess County Youth Festival (along with his 10 year old sister Anna); was a finalist in the Mid Atlantic Songwriting Contest; and he was a Towne Crier Cafe Open Mic finalist. Krzyzewski performs throughout Hudson Valley region as a soloist and with his band "The Vagabond Brothers." Joe is currently working on a new CD which he hopes will be released this winter.

Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
From the Hudson and the Catskills, to the rural South, by way of the big clipper ships, the far east and the British Isles, Bob Lusk's songs encompass the whole world and hundreds of songs.

A veteran of both the Irish and American folk circuit, Bob is an experienced balladeer and multi-instrumentalist. He sings in a strong baritone, from rousing "pub song" favorites to tender love songs and accompanies himself on guitar, cittern, banjo, and button accordion.

Like the minstrels of old, he performs songs that weave a tale of people’s history. His songs also reflect a strong social conscience and a lifetime of working for peace, justice and social action. He is a long time member of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild, and a former staff member of Sing Out! Magazine, the country’s premier folk music magazine.

Singer/Songwriter Showcase

Singer-Songwriter
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Drew Bordeaux (pictured here ) is a highly accomplished singer/songwriter and musician. He performs soulful originals as well as covers. On occasion, Drew will treat us to his electric fiddle, for a unique sound that is truly inspirational. See below for a link to his new youtube channel!

They say she "has a voice like Jewel with a touch of Jazz." Cassandrea Frake has been featured on lohud.com's Listening Room. Her songwriting is creative, touching and uniquely original. Influences include Joni Mitchell, John Mayer and Nora Jones.

Billy Kelly is a folksinger who plays and sings from the heart. One of our favorites is "Seraphima", a tune that's been applauded by the critics. His song "She's Single Again" was featured in NBC's TV show, Ed. His songs are down home Americana and totally entertaining. Bill is warm and genuine, and we love how he makes each song his own.

SONNY LANDRETH, with special guest GEOFF HARTWELL
Blues, Cajun/Zydeco, and Rock (modern)
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
When it comes to Sonny Landreth, even Eric Clapton is a fan: "He's probably the most underestimated musician on the planet, and also probably one of the most advanced." As if to back his words up with actions, Clapton honored Landreth with the #1 time-slot at his 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival. An amazing back & forth musical conversation between these two greats can be seen on Youtube. Mark Knopfler can also be seen on Youtube, praising Sonny Landreth's slide guitar playing before they perform together. In a world where truly great guitar practitioners dot the globe like as many mountain pinnacles on our planet, Sonny Landreth's techniques seem to leave his guitar floating artfully, impossibly above. Talent in such a rarified atmosphere seems fragile & ephemeral – leaving one resolved to appreciate it while it's here, while wishing him a long, healthy and productive life!
