The Clancy Tradition's origins are found in Ireland in the 1950s, when the Clancy family of Moy (in County Tyrone) formed a Ceili Band, playing at Irish country dances and concerts throughout Ireland. In 1960, brothers Pat, Eugene and Brendan Clancy left to tour the United States as the Irish Ramblers, playing at clubs like Gerde's Folk City & Carnegie Hall(!), and recording an album for Electra (The Patriot Game). Their musical tradition is currently being passed to the next generation with "The Clancy Tradition": Eugene Clancy on guitar & vocals, his daughter Rosemary Clancy on fiddle & mandolin, Eugen's son John Clancy on bass, Pat Clancy on piano & accordion, his daughter Liadain Clancy singing and Mike Melanophy on button accordion. We are honored that they chose the Towne Crier Cafe's stage to perform & record their live album.

RIDING THE BLISS, Nada Yoga / The Yoga of Sound
with Baird Hersey
World. Overtone singing Choir
Open Sky Yoga Center
5 Arnold Park
Rochester, NY   See Map
“Unequaled bliss comes to the heart of the Yogi who hears the internal sound of the Nada”. -The Nada-Bindu Upanishad

By bringing our minds to single pointed attention on the internal sacred sound, we quiet the chatter of the mind and experience a deep feeling of comfort and contentment.

This meditation, based on the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, will be framed by mediations on the 4 levels of sound:

Vaikhari (external sounds) Madhyama (mental sounds) Pashyanti (visual sounds) Para (Eternal sound) The result will be to connect us with the Nada, the sound of the Universe, the sound of bliss.

Songwriting from the heart
with Julie Corbalis
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Julie Corbalis sings songs not only of her life, but in a small part, yours, too. The relateability of these songs keeps her fan base coming back again and again. You get the sense when you listen to her that this is "a woman who has lived hard, loved hard, fallen hard and has picked herself up to do it again, regretting nothing." In her first solo effort, "Old Flames and New Names," Jules pours out her heart about past loves and "family stuff" and what results is a soulful collection of songs you'll be nursing your next broken heart to.

Jules says her influences include bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Black Crowes as well as solo artists like Sheryl Crow. She'll be playing originals as well as some pop/rock covers. Join us for another entertaining Singer/Songwriter Sunday.

Jazz, Blues, and Cajun/Zydeco
St John's Episcopal Church
207 Albany Ave
Kingston, NY   See Map
“Rebecca Martin’s vocals are like Modigliani portraits. They share a sharply honed, less-is-more sensibility that, paradoxically, adds to their depth, their denseness and their haunting aftereffects”, says ”Jazz Times” magazine. "All About Jazz" calls Rebecca "a composer of considerable talent, approaching the repertoire that she serves up like a a mater-chef, creating rare and fine epicurean fare....this is gripping music from a star whose time has come”.

Accompanying Rebecca will be bassist Larry Grenadier.

"On The Wings of Love" will also be featuring bluesman Big Joe Fitz & "The Lo-Fi's", a set of Cajun music with "Cleoma's Ghost", and jazz standards performed by vocalist Bill Bannan accompanied by jazz guitarist Mark Dzuiba & bassist Robert Bard.

A $15.00 donation goes to benefit "Angel Food East" which is a non profit volunteer program that since 1992 has been providing hot meals 5 days a week to people living with HIV/AIDS in Ulster County.

130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
John is a founding member of the legendary Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and still tours with them (40+ years!) - playing the whole "round trip" from folk to rock to country. The NGDB made over 24 albums, including the platinum-selling Will The Circle Be Unbroken, an integral part of Americana history and indisputably "one of the most important recordings ever come out of Nashville." -Rolling Stone :|: McEuen also takes his talents around the country in his solo shows and special concerts when the Dirt Band is not performing, incorporating his vintage instruments (banjo, fiddle, guitar and mandolin) with instrumental wizardry that keeps the audience entranced. His love for the history of acoustic music and his joy at being onstage is evident to all those who see him and hear him!

Back for dinner at his favorite lunchtime haunt, Studios Stu returns to perform again at Gabriel's Cafe. Great food by Susan, byob, sit back, relax and listen to the sultry tones of tunes familiar and obscure.

Here's what we've heard;

Studio Stu, with his state-of-the-art Studivarious single string bass, unique Brooklyn humor, and unusual, hypnotic vocals, is a master...a one string wonder, combining a traditional folk instrument and a classic jazz form, to create a third thing (one we haven’t quite figured out what to call yet).....fearless in delivery and willing to navigate uncharted paths through the improvisational wilderness; he is ‘el ultimo hombre del lounge’.

Studio Stu takes the very best in classic jazz, pop, and originals, and twists and bends them into what he calls ‘evocative jazz & exotic lounge’. He starts with standard tunes and a loop machine, except, nothing is sacred.....improv is rampant...lyrics are changed at will...

Created by Kat Koppett in association with Freestyle Repertory Theatre in New York, Spontaneous Broadway is a virtouso evening of musical improv.

The audience submits titles of "songs that have never been written". In a fictional "backer's audition", these titles inspire improvised songs in act one. In act two, the audience's favorite song serves as the basis of an entire (45 minute) Broadway musical, complete with costumes and set.

The format received a rave review from The New York Times when it premiered in New York in 1995. You ain’t seen nuttin’ like it, folks!
