Acoustic, and Folk/Traditional. Protest
The Colony Cafe
22 Rock City Road
Woodstock, NY   See Map
The annual Woodstock-based PHIL OCHS BIRTHDAY FEST celebrates the protest singer's music and activism. Held at the historic Colony Cafe, the music will include many of Ochs' best known and lesser known songs and poetry. There will also be a staged reading of Ochs' testimony on behalf of the Chicago 8 during that 1968 trial--theatre of the absurd without even trying!

Phil Ochs was not only the voice of a generation but he continued to demonstrate his progressive conscience throughout his career and up until his untimely death by suicide in 1976. Ochs marched for civil rights, labor rights and for peace and was a constant figure at rallies and functions of the New Left, SDS and the Yippies. A member of the Industrial Workers of the World, Phil Ochs bridged the realm of arts and radical activism and stands among the upper echelon of cultural workers. Join us in this annual commemoration and celebration.

Peekskill, NY   See Map
You can't help but get up and dance to this band!!! Jerry and the "Brothers" are one of the tightest, coolest, funky-est, baddest bands around. Whatever you do, do not miss this performance. Jerry's an accomplished singer, songwriter and bass player, influenced by the Blues and Country Music. His entree into the NYC Blues scene was by way of the now infamous Dan Lynch Blues Bar, running the Saturday afternoon jam session there. This little bar became the hub of the Blues scene in NYC. Jerry calls his time there "an education that could not be replicated." His band is comprised of a lighting-fast guitarist, killer drummer and a keyboard player who also wails on the sax.

"My mission is to write and sing great songs. A great song can touch you the way nothing else can. A great song can take complex issues and break them down so everyone can understand them." Well said, Jerry.

They say she "has a voice like Jewel with a touch of Jazz." Cassandrea Frake's songwriting is creative, touching and uniquely original. Influences include Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell, John Mayer and Nora Jones. Her song, "Like the Breeze," is a folksy, jazzy, love-tribute. The love theme runs deep in her music and even inspired her to start playing guitar. In her interview on lohud.com's The Listening Room, Cassandra said she began writing music "...to impress somebody--one of the guys I had a crush on--but that guy fell through, and the music lasted." We're glad it did.
