Karen Davis
Acoustic, Rock (50's-60's)
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.

BeanRunner Cafe
201 S. Division Street @ Esther
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

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.

Together, in this new progressive bluegrass band, they play fast and fun, but their compositions also express the entire range of human emotion.

Special Night: Singer/Songwriter Showcase
with Fred Gillen, Jr., Rebecca Loebe
Singer-Songwriter
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Gillen's musical influences range from Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie to Queen and Elton John. From James Brown and Stevie Wonder to The Clash and Johnny Cash. Gillen is a folk singer and a rocker, a roots musician and a modernist, as at home playing washboard or acoustic guitar as playing with drum loops and a whisk broom. Whatever the instruments and genre, he's always been attracted to music which is reckless and in-the-moment.

Tonight, Fred is joined by singer/songwriter Rebecca Loebe. On tour in the US and Europe the past few years, Becca has gotten rave reviews for her high-energy performances, weaving together skillful, emotional songwriting, folk storytelling and "whimsical comedy for the ADHD generation." At a very young age, she's already shared the stage with greats such as Mary Chapin Carpenter (at a 6,000 seat ampetheatre in Atlanta), Ellis Paul, Sophie B. Hawkins, Emerson Hart, Ellis Paul, Girlyman & The Bacon Brothers.

ESQUELA to Bring the Party to Steel House Fri, 8/06 10pm

ESQUELA is a 6-piece Roots-Rock/Indie/Soul band hailing from the Catskills (Delaware County) and NYC. Featuring a powerful mix of pro-players and stand-out regional talent, Esquela shows are fun, dance-intensive parties, with a ton of soul and a honkey-tonk edge.

ESQUELA features industry veteran Keith Christopher (guitar, vocals). Christopher in a founding member of the Georgia Satellites, has performed/recorded with the likes of Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Billy Joe Shaver, Paul Westerberg and Todd Snider, and has written music for Ray Charles (among others). The band also features vocalist-sensation Rebecca Frame whose remarkable vocal prowess consistently earns her comparisons to singers like Susan Tedeschi and Janis Joplin.

ESQUELA's new album, 'The Owl Has Landed,' was produced by Eric "Roscoe" Ambel (Ryan Adams, New Heathens, Bottle Rockets, etc).

For Ella
with Patti Austin

Belleayre Music Festival
181 Galli Curci Road
Highmount, NY   See Map
Grammy winner, Patti Austin’s sophisticated vocal technique has earned her acclaim in the fields of jazz, R&B and pop. On both the Grammy nominated recording, “For Ella,” and her live concert performances based on the album, Patti offers a dazzling tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. Instead of trying to mimic Ella, she has absorbed Ella’s vocal style into her own voice, and the result is an amazing synthesis. She rose to stardom with her chart-topping duet with James Ingram, “Baby Come to Me.” And her 2008 Grammy for “Avant Gershwin,” was her ninth Grammy nomination.

Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Recently dubbed Westchester's best songwriter/original band following the positive critical reception of their new CD Saturday Night Coffee, and riding a growing wave of enthusiasm for the new single and video Get America Working, the Kevin Kane Band looks poised to start flying way above the radar. Critics are particularly complimentary of the band's full range of song styles -- catchy riff rock, lyrical melody lines, new country and blues, up tempo pop and a three part harmony folk -- feel reminiscent of the original Newport Folk festival. That one band is so comfortable across such a wide and diverse musical spectrum makes them even more appealing live.
