 Since Christopher Robin picked up the guitar, his musical roots have included personal lessons from artists like Michael Hedges and Gregg Allman – yet his tone, chord structure, feel, searing solos and sense of melody remain truly his own. "All of my songs are true stories. I've had residency in seven different states, and there's been a lot of stories. They're about all the things I've done, from sailing on tall ships to being a cowboy in Colorado, to playing for Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses in Europe and the Hells Angels." Christopher Robin's live performances ~ sharing the stage or recording with a long list of artists including Gregg Allman, Robert Cray, Lee Sklar, The Marshall Tucker Band, Del McCoury and Peter Yarrow ~ have earned him a reputation as a high-energy crowd pleaser.

 Grammy-nominated guitarist Gil Parris is one of the most acclaimed & versatile guitar masters of his generation. His style of playing defies and transcends all genres. Gil frequently performs with Yankees outfielder (and guitarist) Bernie Williams and has shared the stage with Paul Shaffer and trumpet legend Randy Brecker. "...like his heroes Pat Metheny, David Sanborn and George Benson, Parris stands out not only for his distinctive tone and passionate style but also in his effortless ability to let his fingers do the singing..."
Gil's band features equally incredible musicians, Kip Saphos on bass and Joe Piteo on drums.
Tonight, Gil is joined by Tommy "Pipes" McDonnell, a great vocalist who's performed with the original Blues Brothers Band and was a featured singer in the movie "Blues Brothers 2000". He's also shared the stage with a host of other musical greats including Eric Clapton, BB King & Al Green.

 Howard Jennings is a rising artist that has been referred to as a "young, new generation Dave Matthews."

His authentic performance is certain to keep any audience involved, entertained, and inspired, taking them through a journey of his soul with both serious and fun loving songs. Howard's music contains the perfect blend of driving acoustic guitar rhythms, genuine lyrics and warm melodies topped with charismatic, unique and inviting vocals.
"...Jennings has an undeniable knack for catchy melodies. This is evident throughout, but particularly on album closer "When My Mind Starts To Go. " The number is easily Acoustic EP's best and offers a glimpse at the young songwriter's nascent potential."

Americana | Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY See Map |
| Singer-songwriter Davey O is a resilient artist with a career that has not been of the skyrocket variety. It's been a slow steady climb, a ten-year journey of learning to scrape away anything that smacks of cliché and turn the raw experience of life into songs that cut straight through to
a place of sunlight and tears. The struggle has paid off in a collection of songs that are justly earned--no hackneyed storylines, no insincere polish, just an unflinching poet's look at life.
His style is pure Americana--a mix of back porch folk and beer hall rowdy. You've already met his characters: the home-loving troubadour wondering if it's worth the long miles in an anonymous landscape; the brilliant but wild boy whose heart drowns in life's hurricane; the pretty girl at the bar whosesweet smile looks like a promise of redemption.

8:30 pm | CHIP TAYLOR Trio, featuring John Platania, with special guest Bill Bachmann
Singer-Songwriter, Rock (classic), and Country | Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY See Map |
 To call Chip Taylor's life an incredible story is almost an understatement. As a songwriter, Taylor has hit the charts in five decades now. He wrote Wild Thing, one of the primary songs of the rock'n'roll canon since it was a #1 hit for The Troggs in 1966. His song Angel of the Morning has been a hit for Merilee Rush, Juice Newton and most recently Shaggy, whose chart-topping version earned Taylor the status of having the longest span of #1 hits in music history. As No Depression magazine noted, "Maybe somebody else has had cuts by Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra and Willie Nelson, but it's got to be a pretty elite club." Taylor has also been a spectacularly successful professional gambler, as well as a recording artist and producer of such acts as the young James Taylor (no relation) and pop superstar Neil Diamond. He was an integral part of the bustling New York pop songwriting scene in its 1960s Brill Building heyday, one of the pioneers of the progressive country style.

 The SUNDOWN Band has been performing their brand of Southern Rock since 1976. Every time the band's been reviewed, the response is the same: "You will be hard pressed to find another band that performs with the talent, passion, and intensity that these guys bring to the stage every night." (WPDH 101.5 FM).
From the beginning, SUNDOWN played all the legendary Westchester clubs like the Fore 'n Aft, Bottom's Up and The Beachmont, as well as NYC clubs like Lone Star Cafe. Many of the band's life-long fans now bring their teenage kids to experience the band's classic style; unique renditions of Southern Rock classics from bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, Molly Hatchet and more. They don't just cover the songs, they play them with heart. The highlight of their shows are the duel guitar talents of Ronnie Pauls and Steve Mitchell, which leaves audiences in awe. We can't wait.

Let them know about it!
We depend on musicians and venues to keep this calender current. It costs them
nothing to advertise here, so tell them you were looking for them
on HVmusic.com. Thanks.
Our special guest this time around: Too Human,
a duo comprised of Roger Bruno on percussion and vocals and Ellen Schwartz on Guitar and vocals. Ask them what kind of music they play and they will answer, "Good music with a lot of heart." They cover jazz, blues, pop, and R&B as well as standards from the Great American Songbook, but with a fresh interpretation that brings new life to those classic songs. Ellen's earthy voice combines perfectly with Roger's unusual percussion style and stirring vocals. They have opened for or shared the stage with 10,000 Maniacs, Janis Ian, Martin Sexton, Livingston Taylor, and Kenny Rankin and others. We're looking forward to a great evening with Too Human.
Hope to see you there
