Phineas and the Lonely Leaves
with Tim Feeney
Acoustic, Pop/Soft Rock
BeanRunner Cafe
201 S. Division Street @ Esther
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Phineas and the Lonely Leaves is a band which bares its sound with a reverence for simplicity. This band is a showcase for the evolution of Tim's songwriting ability which has matured into a concise, literal romantic vision. With little more than his voice, his hooks and an acoustic guitar he has managed to conjure a vibe that hints at a life full of secret struggles and recent triumphs. Nestled deep, somewhere between the vintage classic bleariness of Townes Van Zandt and Gram Parsons and contemporaries like Wilco, Death Cab for cutie, Bright Eyes, and Nada Surf, Phineas and the Lonely Leaves is the sound of a man finally realizing his gifts. Phineas and the Lonely Leaves provide a perfect soundtrack for those quiet midnight hours spent lying next to that one you love or sitting alone in the dark wondering whatever happened to that one who once owned your heart.

Admission: $5

SONNY LANDRETH, also special guest MATT RAE TRIO
Blues, Cajun/Zydeco. Slide Guitar
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. Their amazing guitar duet, culminating with these two greats weaving in & out of each other's improvisations, can be seen here. Mark Knopfler can also be seen praising Sonny Landreth's slide guitar playing before they perform together here. 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 him 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!

Rising Tribe Music
Folk/Traditional, Country, and Rock (classic)
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Categorized as Folk Rock, Country, Island Reggae, and Classic Rock, Rising Tribe demonstrates adeptness at each genre, catching all the nuances and bringing them to light. In addition, the song 'In Pain' holds a Celtic reminder with its sweet, natural sound, and the title track, 'Back To The Water' has a moving tribal feel. It's difficult to choose a favorite, as every selection has so much to offer. 'Think' is philosophical and smart with a modern edge; 'Montana' is country -- simple and clean, with pitch-perfect harmony, and 'No Hard Feelings' is sad and sweet. We loved the catchy 'Six O'Clock,' too. This music inhabits both the past and the here and now, simultaneously -- a rare feat for a band that is a rare find."

Tracy Grammer
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic, and Americana
Common Ground Coffeehouse
25 Old Jackson Avenue
Hastings-on-Hudson, NY   See Map
Join us for this very special evening with Tracy Grammer, of whom Joan Baez has said, “Tracy Grammer is a brilliant artist and unique individual. Her voice is distinctive, as is her mastery over the instruments she plays.” Grammer is currently touring in support of FLOWER OF AVALON, her solo debut. Flower of Avalon includes nine previously-unreleased songs by the late Dave Carter and one traditional tune. Grammer digs deep into the spirit of Carter's poetic verses and haunting melodies to color each song with textures and flourishes that blur the boundaries of categorization. Paired with Grammer’s voice -- emotive, warm and versatile -- the songs on Flower of Avalon are nothing less than visionary. Mary Chapin Carpenter sings harmony on three cuts and wrote the liner notes for the record. Carpenter writes, “Tracy’s continuing quest to make sure that the world remembers Dave Carter marks a new beginning of artistry for her. We are lucky that she is so brave, generous and gifted.”

VANCE GILBERT, also SARA HICKMAN
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
It's all in one seemingly impossible package: Vance Gilbert's spellbinding live show; his deliriously virtuosic singing; his accomplished guitar style; his outrageous, edgy humor; AND the songwriting. With one of the sharpest wits in folk music, Vance is one of the most entertaining singer-songwriters you'll ever see. But, he can deftly change the mood of a show in an instant with a sincere delivery of one of his deep-flowing songs. So, don't be surprised if your tears of laughter mix with tears of sorrow in a satisfying blend of yin and yang. :|: With an unerring eye for detail, Austin singer/songwriter SARA HICKMAN gives us a window into various people's worlds, including our own. Sara possesses a sparkling voice that expressively moves from pensive to giddy to sensual, and her words and music tap into emotions we all share.

Debut Album Now Available!
with Shane Murphy
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic
Taste Budd's Cafe
40 W Market St
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Shane Murphy, 23, believes in a good breakfast. Also, early-rising, the United States Postal Service, and learning your scales. And in a reheated, Kerouac-saturated, perpetually slacking world, these personal affects are the types of things that keep a man from drowning. You might spend your time blogging about an evanescent underground, posting pictures on your facespace profile, and feeding the evil android in your pocket enough dirt to grow potatoes, but Mr. Murphy will have none of that, thank you. He’s got Nurse Ratched’s number. All of them.

Shane Murphy makes the music of a contemporary minstrel. He comines the mystical, Old Weird Americana of The Band with the jazz-leaning technicality of Tim Buckley.

His debut album, loosestrife/tightgrief, was completed in April 2010.

Kelley Suttenfield is a jazz singer who puts a modern twist on American Songbook classics, as well as more contemporary tunes from blues, jazz, pop and latin repertoires. JazzTimes said this of Kelley's debut CD, Where is Love: "Performing an array of cover tunes with a torchlight glisten, including Stanley Turpentine’s “Sugar,” Betty Carter’s “Open The Door,” and Henry Mancini’s “Charade,” Suttenfield encourages the listener to delve into an imaginary sanctuary...."

Superlative Singing, Exceptional Songwriters
with Mishti Roy and, Steve Chizmadia
Singer-Songwriter
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Two extraordinarily talented Singer/Songwriters in one night! We're really looking forward to this...

Mishti Roy (pictured here) has a voice that is unique, soulful and moving, and her guitar playing is just as incredible. If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing Mishti sing, you're missing out on one of the finest vocalists in the Hudson Valley. When she takes to the drums, she offers up another level of talent that will keep you riveted.

Equally talented and unique is Steve Chizmadia, a songwriter from Long Island who has the Long Horns of Texas in his soul. With each song, Steve 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.

Mishti & Steve... a Singer/Songwriter Showcase that won't disappoint!
