He has played with blues greats such as Son House, Mance Lipscomb, Fred McDowell, Jim Brewer, Rev. Gary Davis and many others.

Ernest Leroy Hawkins was born in Pittsburgh PA in 1947. In the '50's he had a paper route, a beagle and a Roy Rodgers harmonica (which he still has somewhere).

"Man, I love Ernie Hawkins. Each disc impresses me more and more. There are very few individuals who play this stuff and make it real. Fingerstylist Hawkins is one of the great joys of guitar. He is plain and simple, a master. --John Heidt Vintage Guitar

130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
This Austin-based Texas native is blessed with a distinctive, vibrant voice that is the perfect vehicle for his soul-baring ballads, burning anthems and driving, straight-ahead rock 'n' roll. Jimmy's self-penned material earned him the Songwriter of the Year award (along with 4 others) at the 1995 Kerrville Music Awards. When LaFave covers others' songs, such as those of Bob Dylan, they fit like his own broken-in boots, exhibiting his own character as much as that of their maker.

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.

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.

The band features the inimitable Tom Dowd on vocals and lead guitar. And this man can PLAY guitar. With Pete McGregor on drums, Barry "Buzzy" Garriola on bass. Kevin McSweeney rhythm guitar, who provides the unshakable and perfectly-chosen solos that make each song a new classic... and Rene Carlson, one of the best harp players around (and one of very few female blues harp players) with her impressive energy & powerhouse solos. ... these guys ROCK!

Hear what the pros have to say about Buried in Blue: "If you want to catch an incredible live performance of Classic Rock, Pop and Blues with pitch-perfect vocals, powerful drums, and some hot Hendrix-style guitar, see these guys soon....Buried in Blue is buried in talent."

David Reed
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Since the last millennium the artistry of David Reed (aka Dr. Easy)has been earning respect from audiences and critics alike throughout the northeast USA, Europe and the Caribbean. A founding member of the seminal jam rock band, Max Creek in 1971, Reed has since developed into a delightful fingerstyle acoustic guitarist & multi-instrumentalist (ever heard a 'Reggae Banjo' or a conch shell 'TuTu'?), explorational singer/songwriter, way-cool whistler and seasoned performer. The good "Dakta" brings a smile to the face and a tap to the toe of young and old with his sensational blend of rockin' NewFolk, rompin' ragtime, snappy country blues, inspired original songs and wonderous interpretations of many other popular artists' songs . . . all served up with a dash of spicy, sun-drenched Caribbean reggae & calypso.
