A tribute to Jeff Beck
with Neil Alexander & NAIL
Rock (progressive), Jazz, and Rock (modern). Funk, Electronica
The Wherehouse
119 Liberty St
Newburgh, NY   See Map
Close your eyes and hear sharp and elegantly electrifying gut guitar sounds. Open your eyes and behold keyboardist Neil Alexander and his amazing ensemble NAIL focusing their considerable skills to honor guitar legend Jeff Beck. Jeff’s style has always held fascination for the Hudson Valley based keyboardist well known for his ability to emulate the electric guitar. “His range of sounds – with just a guitar & amp – staggers the imagination,” says Neil. Armed with skills established in his 10 years of experience in Pink Floyd tribute band The Machine and his current status as a member of the John McLaughlin tribute band Mahavishnu Project, Neil is confident they can pull off a “guitarless” tribute – to a guitarist. A “tribute show” is new for NAIL whose shows are traditionally original music spiced with a few pieces by other artists. The evening will include songs from classic discs Blow by Blow, Wired, and Guitar Shop, as well as “stylistically appropriate” tunes and NAIL originals.

Guitar Master Andy Aledort
with Andy Aledort & the Groove Kings
Rock (classic), Blues
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Andy Aledort has performed with scores of rock legends... Dickey Betts, the Allman's and the late, great, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Famous for meticulously capturing, note-for-note, the licks and tone of artists like Clapton and Hendrix, Andy Aledort is often tapped for high-profile appearances. When a band needs a player who can recreate the guitar work of Stevie Ray, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Freddie King or Johnny Winter, Andy delivers in a big way. Aledort was once sought after by Aerosmith's Joe Perry for an emergency Blues lesson, and has performed as a member of the Dickey Betts and Great Southern band for the last five years, displaying masterful slide guitar work. Aledort also participated in a series of Jimi Hendrix Tribute concerts, including a three-city tour of the west coast with veteran bluesman Buddy Guy.

Dinner Reservations highly recommended. This is gonna be one hot night.

Seamlessly fusing together elements of '80s & '90s rock, heartland rock and current pop/rock, they flawlessly use their signature brand of vocal harmonies, tasteful guitar, and pop song writing sensibility to create a musical tour de force with timeless songs that gracefully touch upon the issues of growing up in a small town, family strength, friendship, love, and loneliness.

Singer/Songwriter Showcase
with Bill Kelly, Abby Payne
Singer-Songwriter
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Bill Kelly (pictured here) -- aka "Mr. Americana" -- is songwriter and all-around great guy. On his CD, "Bread on the Waters", Bill "takes a long hard pull on the bottle of life, with weather-beaten songs of messed-up love, longing, and redemption." One of our favorites is "Seraphima", a tune that's been applauded by critics. Another of his songs, "She's Single Again", was featured in NBC's TV show, Ed.

Abby Payne lives and performs in NYC. She has a distinctive, beautiful voice and a soft, soothing touch on the keyboard. Her wonderfully creative original songs will move you. Our favorite is "Green". When Abby sings, all your troubles melt away. Her influences include Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Cat Stevens, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Bjork, David Bowie, Billie Holiday, The Beatles, The White Stripes, Joni Mitchell...on and on.

Join us for dinner or a glass of wine on the couches as we welcome Bill and Abby back to our 12 Grapes stage.

Fresh Songwriting, Moving Acoustics
with Daphne Willis
Singer-Songwriter
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Chicago-based Daphne Willis is a "marvelously expressive artist with a bracingly seductive sound." It seems that being discovered has been Daphne's fate. She had planned to release her second album herself, but a record company exec heard her music on the in-flight station and tracked her down. Recently-released by Vanguard records, her new CD, "What to Say", is an Acoustic-Rock blend reminiscent of Nora Jones and Natalie Imbruglia. Willis has even been compared to a young Rickie Lee Jones and a female Jack Johnson. A review in the Herald Tribune noted, "The melodies, the horn-punctuated arrangements and the playful but intelligent lyrics reel you in."

Daphne was also recently discovered by someone else: Hailey, our bartender. When Hailey heard her CD, she immediately fell in love with her sound, and we heartily agreed. We're pleased to welcome the very talented Daphne Willis to our 12 Grapes stage.

Come hear and see the magic that people who have seen/heard the band and follow them regularly rave about. In some songs they bring a bit of comic relief with their get ups and audience participation. Joe often calls upon other musician friends to come up and do some numbers with the band that adds exciting twist to the evening as you never know what will happen during this jam. They guarantee that your Friday night will not be just an average one. So come join the gang and treat yourself to a fun evening you deserve after a hard work week.
