Jessica Smucker
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter, and Pop/Soft Rock
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Jessica Smucker writes what could be considered "dark pop" songs: catchy melodies in minor keys, lyrics that masterfully infuse sad stories with tiny flecks of humor and hope. She performs in diverse configurations and contexts, but her songs have a consistent melodic edge. "Woven with a sort of defiant sadness, a square-jawed resilience" (Fly Magazine), her compositions often start down a familiar road but, through a series of subtle twists and curves, deliver the listener to an unexpected destination.

Celebrate New Years Eve with The PMQ
with The Paul Miller Quartet
SNARF
Lippera's Chatham House
29 Hudson Avenue (Rte 66)
Chatham, NY   See Map
Lippera's at Chatham House will feature once again the sound of sublime harmonic & rhythmic invention this New Years Eve, when for the 3rd year in a row, the PMQ takes the bandstand to guide listeners through a reflective musical excursion at just the right volume and intensity to match the evening's own dynamics as 2010 draws to a close. The band's SNARF-driven performance will be, as always, equally appropriate for dining, dancing and deeply meaningful conversation as it is for whatever else your annual out-with-the-old/in-with-the-new ritual requires to feel complete. Due to the discovery through painstaking research that most people prefer to retreat to a more private, intimate setting with their significant other at the moment of the ball's dropping, Lippera's New Years Eve celebration this year will be ending at 11PM. Upon hearing of this innovation, Paul Miller himself, in a rare public statement, commented "What was that you said? Huh? Oh yes, 11PM is good, very good!"
