With the fall release of her debut album Cozy Razor's Edge, Heather is quickly becoming known for her powerhouse performances, her highly original songwriting, her memorable melodies, her expressive vocals and evocative lyricism. Her debut album Cozy Razor's Edge will take you through the depths of the human experience. Maloney describes this record as her "heartfelt effort to integrate music and awareness, creativity and presence; the intention to dance along the line between sound and silence." The Seven Days said: “Read up enough on Massachusetts-based songwriter Heather Maloney’s debut disc Cozy Razor’s Edge and you’ll notice a curious critical conundrum unfold, as one bewildered scribe after another attempts to pin down her sound by invoking an eyebrow-raising range of presumed influences” "Maloney writes evocative music that urges peace and harmony and boasts full-bodied, knock you dead vocal" The Valley Advocate (Northampton MA)

with Caleb Hawley, Stephanie Nilles
Pop/Soft Rock, Jazz
Cafe Mezzaluna
Route 212 west of town
Saugerties, NY   See Map
A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Caleb Hawley has turned some heads with his choice to write and produce decidedly pop-influenced singer-songwriter music. But his success is undeniable with top awards like the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (‘09) and the New York Songwriter’s Circle contest (‘08, ‘09). Hawley is often compared to Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, and Raul Midon. He’s a charming, soft-spoken guitar virtuoso with a great big voice that can sing just about anything.

Stephanie Nilles performs her own political satire and 40's jazz/punk tunes, described by listeners as "Ella Fitzgerald on speed beating the s*** out of Regina Spektor"… She has performed at joints like Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall, The Bitter End, The Cutting Room, WFMT's "Live from Studio One," NPR's "From the Top," and the Dame Myra Hess Series at the Chicago Cultural Center.

PETER TORK (of The MONKEES) & Shoe Suede Blues
Blues, Rock (50's-60's)
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Shoe Suede Blues, featuring former "Monkee" Peter Tork, is a band of seasoned pros, delivering a heartfelt, soulful, uplifting and quite unforgettable mixture, divined from their vision of what music is all about. Long before The Monkees, Peter Tork was a well-respected musician/artist in the burgeoning New York folk scene. Peter's gift for playing a plethora of instruments generated high demand for his services as a sideman/back-up artist. Peter knocked around for several hungry years in the mid-'60s, 'hanging' and performing with the likes of John Phillips, Stephen Stills and Dave Van Ronk. The fateful call, which would change Peter's life forever, came in June of 1965: Friend and confidant Stephen Stills, not quite hitting the mark with his own audition for The Monkees TV series, rang his buddy Peter, urging him to give it a go. Music legend Jimi Hendrix jammed with Peter on several occasions, calling him "The most talented Monkee."

Blues, Motown/R&B
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Yonrico Scott was raised in Detroit, Michigan by a supportive family when he first showed interest in playing the drums, receiving lessons at age seven, and was a student of Motown drummer George Hamilton at fourteen after achieving all that was available for him to learn playing gospel music in the metropolitan city the previous year, earning him a reputation as the best performer in that genre. In his teens, Scott found an interest in R&B music, and later worked as a session musician for a large number of famous figures, including Stevie Wonder. Scott joined the Derek Trucks Band in 1995. As the second permanent member of the current band with Derek Trucks, by 2010, he had contributed to the songwriting and performed on every one of the band's six studio albums and both of their live albums. Fifteen years later, in 2010, Scott picked up a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album as a member of The Derek Trucks Band for their 2009 album, Already Free.
