STEPHANE WREMBEL & The Django Experiment, with special guest Bob Mullins
Acoustic, Jazz
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
One could call Stephane Wrembel a Gypsy, a world traveler, for the music he plays and his lifestyle are expressive of the Gypsy way of life. Born in Paris, and raised in Fontainbleu (home of the music of Django Reinhardt). Stephane first discovered Django's music and the Gypsies while in his teens and spent the next ten years of his life learning, playing and expanding this tradition. This intense work gave him his technique, but the time he spent playing around campfires and trailers gave him his soul. Wrembel graduated Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College Of Music with studies in contemporary jazz, Indian, African and Middle Eastern music, but highlights of his career include recording his third album with the legendary David Grisman; opening for, and sitting in with Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer Patti Smith; headlining at Lincoln Center; coaching Mariah Carey for her role as a singer/guitar player in Tenessee; and composing soundtrack music for Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Chris Ricketts and Mark Willshire
Singer-Songwriter, Folk/Traditional
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Chris Ricketts is a talented singer/songwriter from Portsmouth currently studying folk and traditional music at Newcastle University. Having been 'on the scene' from around the age of 15 and having received rave reviews from a host of musicians/journalists, Chris is already somewhat of a gigging veteran and decided to team up with bassist Mark Willshire in the summer of 2009.

The pair complement each other in a somewhat unorthodox manner- Chris' traditional guitar and vocal structures being interspersed with Mark's big, almost funk-like basslines. The combination creating a fresh take on a genre often written off before it has been given the chance it deserves.

With their album 'Simple Folk' Out Now with dates to support it following a short tour of the USA it should be a good year for the duo.

LOS STRAITJACKETS, guest host Unsteady Freddie
Rock (classic)
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Los Straitjackets has been making its brand of raucous, instrumental rock since 1994, and have become known as one of the most dynamic and skillful instrumental bands on the planet. Their renowned live show is filled with mind-bending guitar theatrics and group choreography. ...and, don't forget the wrestling masks each band member wears onstage. Right before the band's first gig - back when they were still just The Straitjackets - Amis pulled out a bag of wrestling masks he'd bought in Mexico City. The Los Straitjackets were born. In the past few years, this gimmick has been brought full circle as the band's last two gigs in Mexico City have been in front of stadium-sized crowds. The band's music can be heard in on soundtracks for TV shows including Malcolm in the Middle, and at least 10 feature films including Meet the Parents, Harriet the Spy, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and Two Days in the Valley. They are also a favorite of NBC funny man Conan O'Brien.

Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
hey're a duo - heavy on the acoustic and heavy on the rock, with a sprinkling of psychedelia for spice. Karen's versatile voice handles everything from 60s rock to her own edgy originals with power and dynamism. She loves to belt it out, but can also sing sweet and soft. Same goes for her guitar playing - lots of rhythm, lots of speed; but she also composes pastoral tunes showing her folk and prog-rock roots. Lead guitarits Joe Pla adds wonderful colors. His style is retro - ranging from mod to psychedelic. Karen and Joe have been playing together for 2 years, and have travelled the East Coast from Massachusetts to Virginia. The hit festivals, house concerts, coffee houses, private parties, film series and church concerts. They're doing pre-production on new tunes, and should have a new 8 song CD out by next summer.

Peekskill, NY   See Map
With Demetri's Help was founded on June 14th, 2010, in honor of Demetri Demeropoulos. At 18 years of age, Demetri waged a heroic battle against cancer that first attacked his spinal cord, and, later, his brain. For two years Demetri went toe to toe with this terrible disease never allowing the constant physical and mental setbacks to interfere with his positive approach to life. He fought with an amazing spirit that touched all of those who knew him.

With Demetri's Help seeks to carry on Demetri's enduring message: to find the good in every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. With Demetri's Help has two missions: to financially support research into spinal cord and brain cancer, and to assist in the donation of unused medical supplies so that they may be put to good use.

On August 1st, With Demetri's Help will be hosting their 1st fundraiser featuring performers from Demetri's community and circle of close friends.
Suggested Donation: $5 Students/$10 Adults

Capping off Grape Jam Weekend is an event called "Songwriters in the Round", a format that features three talented artists each taking turns in the spotlight to perform their own original songs.

Steve Chizmadia just won the 2010 Kerrville New Folk Festival for his song, "Wall Street Fat Cat Tax Payer Bailout Blues". It was his second time in Kerrville, the last as a 2003 finalist. Steve's song "This Old Town" received honorable mention from the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in '05.

Steve is joined tonight by two other musicians, singer/songwriters Laura MacLean and Brooke Campbell. Each will bring their own deeply personal and unique artistry to the evening. Songwriters In the Round provides a cool, interesting and diverse listening-room kind of vibe.

The Gardiner-based band One Step West has developed a sound, that although not entirely new, is difficult to classify. Their original material is soaked in classic country and mixed with a rock-n-roll sensibility. You can hear the influence of legends like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Buck Owens, and The Eagles in their songs. Band leader Lucas Patsch explained, "We play the real stuff (classic country) Johnny Cash is a big influence. I couldn't even tell you about anything coming out of Nashville."
