 The Caravel Quartet, comprised of violinists Amie Weiss and Kristi Helberg, violist Miranda Sielaff and cellist Jane Cords O’Hara, officially formed in 2008. Having played together for years in various combinations, all four are members of the dynamic New York City–based orchestra The Knights, a group whose recent engagements have included two recordings for the Sony Classical label and performances at the Dresden Musikfestspiele.
The four musicians respectively have diverse experience in non–western and folk music styles – North Indian classical music studies, performances with Yo–Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, American folk and old–time music, experimental and multi-genre collaborations – all of which add to the breadth of the Caravel's repertoire and curiosity.

You get the sense when you listen to these songs that this is "a woman who has lived hard, loved hard, fallen hard and has picked herself up to do it again, regretting nothing."
Charlie Sabin is a high-energy acoustic performer. Charlie has toured internationally, and has worked with and written songs with major recording artists and producers. Join us tonight for dinner, or just a glass of wine on the couch, and another entertaining Singer/Songwriter Showcase.

 A quirky blend of personalities and musical influences, the Ya Yas have been regulars on the Long Island music scene, performing in coffeehouses and cafes, local festivals, and private concert venues, toured 3 years with Dave Isaacs' country-roots band Jackalope Junction, and now call the Hudson Valley their home, where they are hard at work on their second album.
Seeing these three perform is like spending an evening with them in their living room - inviting, entertaining, and a little goofy. Their songs can range in feel from folk-pop to country-tinged to singer-songwriter-with-groove. What remains constant are well-crafted songs with deceptively simple lyrics about people you feel you might know, people who view themselves and the world with both honesty and compassion.

 "The highlight September performance in Paris was tenor saxophonist Ray Blue. This former member of Sun Ra's Arkestra and student of Ornette Coleman set the Caveau des Oubliettes on fire…His music was fresh and captured the mind without straying away too long from the strongest groove." Downbeat Magazine
Ray's newest CD, "Berries and Blues" serves you the fruits of his music-a story is told by merging jazz, blues and African folk rhythms. The players chosen for this project are brilliant musicians who came together on the gig in Paris, with a chemistry and sound that was nothing less than exceptional.
Ray has preformed with Steve Turre, Eddie Henderson, Gary Bartz, T.K. Blue, Bob Gaddy, Wycliff Gordon and Benny Powell. He plays with The Spirit of Life Ensemble and tours with The Ray Charles Show.
The Ray Blue Sound is at once big and warm, dynamic and romantic, nostalgic and modern. It's "Blue Jazz". Hear it firsthand at his CD Release Party for "Berries & Blues".

8:30 pm | Acoustic STRAWBS
Acoustic, Pop/Soft Rock, and Folk/Traditional | Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY See Map |
 Unique among early '70s Progressive Rock bands, this pioneering outfit actually came from a '60s English Folk background and successfully merged the two genres. The Strawbs enjoyed commercial success in the US and UK with songs like Lay Down, Part Of The Union, and Down By The Sea, and has showcased a fine array of British musicians over the years, including Sandy Denny and keyboardist Rick Wakeman (prior to joining Yes). The Strawbs continue to be led by founder/singer/songwriter Dave Cousins, hailed by the All Music Guide as possibly "...the most talented Dylan-influenced songwriter to come out of England."

 Tommy "Blues Buddha" is back. To know The Buddha is to love his unique, infectious havin'-a-good-time style. If you've never seen the Blues Buddha Band, you're missing out on one of the most fun and exciting Blues acts in the Tri-State area.
Blues Buddha's new CD, "I Like It A Lot", continues to receive rave reviews and lots of air time. John Vermilyea of Blues Underground Network writes, "My highest rating, Five Stars. Excellent CD. With Blues Buddha's debut CD, "I Like It A Lot", Tommy Dudley doesn't ask you politely to get up and dance... once you hear his music, it will tear you off your seat and point your feet towards your best dancin' shoes. It is a Jumpin' Boogie Blues good time and one of the best such releases for 2010."
**$5 Entertainment Fee for all, including diners**
DINNER RESERVATIONS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

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.
The Swing Band is back... and hotter than ever! 12 Grapes is normally closed on Mondays, but the second Monday of each month we open at 6:00 for dinner to present this incredible 18-piece Big Band, featuring a full horn section with 5 sax's, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, and world-class drummer and bandleader Greg Westhoff.
This is a bi-weekly (every Tues. & Thurs. evening) outdoor performance by Eddie Fingerhut. A great early evening event for all. Join me for some great food (the pizza is fantastic - the best outside of Brooklyn !!!), specials and acoustic music - need I say more?? See ya at Pepe's Cucina.
Music at a farmers market!! What fun! Buy some fresh, local produce; hear some music, maybe pick up a CD! Not bad for a Wednesday afternoon in the summertime! The truth is that this event is happening every Wednesday afternoon during the growing season, and there are other very fine musicians scheduled at each one of these. Visit their website for more information.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! A TRUE ROCK BAR!!!!!!!! BIKERS FRIENDLY TOO!
