The Brighton Beat
Jazz
BeanRunner Cafe
201 S. Division Street @ Esther
Peekskill, NY   See Map
The Brighton Beat was formed in 2010 out of a love for afrobeat, old and new. Although it's a new project, the musicians in The Brighton Beat have been playing music together for years. Realizing their common love for jazz and afrobeat, they decided to set forth on an adventurous path, writing their own interpretation of afrobeat-funk in today's modern world. The band takes influence from many styles; everything from Fela Kuti and Antibalas to John Coltrane, and Medeski, Martin, and Wood help spark the creativity of the group. In late 2010, they recorded their first self-titled EP, which has received rave reviews in the jazz-world. Their unique approach translates into an invigorating live performance, combining tight arrangements, fresh grooves, and a very jazz-influenced sound. The Brighton Beat is sure to be a fun, interactive, and memorable show.

Elsie's Place
1475 Route 208
Wallkill, NY   See Map
Last weekend we took a sweet drive down Route 208 going south out of New Paltz. We watched a beautiful sunset over The Shawangunk Ridge and in about 15 minutes arrived at a cozy little roadhouse in Wallkill called Elsie's Place (Wallkill was the original home of Borden's Dairy, hence the name). Mirna our host could not have been nicer and that pulled pork was mighty tasty! They have a wood stove and a dance floor and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. (It reminded us of The Willow Creek Inn for those of you that go back that far.) We'd love to see you next weekend at this new (for us) venue and show some love to the club owners who make live music possible. We're planning on a great night: food, dancing and music.What more do you need?

The songwriting. Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when the buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston about an ex-jazz singer who was knocking 'em dead at open mikes. The word spread of this Philadelphia-area born and raised performer to New York; Shawn Colvin invited Vance Gilbert to be special guest on her Fat City tour. Gilbert took audiences across the country by storm. He has since released 6 celebrated albums. The latest, "Unfamiliar Moon" is Vance Gilbert at his most fearless, timeless, compelling best. Opening the evening will be Marc von Em. Marc, a soulfully energized singer/songwriter who’s sound is rooted in blues, folk, rock and reggae.

The Police Files are an authentic recreation of the sound and energy of The Police; the most musically influential and commercially successful Rock band of the 1980's. Jim Keneally on bass, Ira Seigel on guitar, and Mike Marble on drums have applied their notable talents to what at first was an enjoyable experiment but has become an outright homage to The Police. Their musicianship has taken them to national and international stages... the orchestra pits of Broadway shows and recording studios with some of the industry's most well-known artists. For this project they have harnessed the particular skill sets needed to recapture those of Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland, whose last tour a few years ago grossed over $300 million in ticket sales alone. Come experience The Police Files and you'll remember why you, and millions of others, loved that unique, energetic, thoughtful sound of The Police.

BLUEGRASS AT THE BORDERLINE
with Mark Miklos & The Raritan Valley Ramblers, Michael "Zaydie" Scolnick
Bluegrass, Folk/Traditional, and Acoustic
New City Volunteer Ambulance Corps
200 - Congers Road
New City, NY   See Map
Spend a delightful afternoon listening to one of the hottest Bluegrass bands to come on the scene recently. Mark Miklos & The Raritan Valley Ramblers blend traditional bluegrass with a semi-modern twist which gives you that "high-lonesome" sound. Listeners will simply love Mark's delivery as his tone is strong and is one that sets the audience on their feet each and every time. Mark's voice is one that you won't forget. He a...lso writes most of his own material. Opening the show will be Michael "Zaydie" Scolnick, a folksinger in the mold of Pete Seeger who has opened for Pete many times. Michael has a pleasant voice and is an accomplished guitar player. He runs the weekly song circle at the Beacon Sloop Club. Professional sound engineering will be provided by Gary Hagen of Bearfort Sound Studios. Admission is $20 per person ($15 for Borderline members) and we ask that you bring a cold potluck dessert dish to share with 4 other people. We are an alcohol free venue.

A special Singer/Songwriter Showcase
with Melissa Frabotta, Kristina Koller, and Omar Ramirez
Acoustic
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Sometimes, it's amazing the talent you come across at an Open Mic. Melissa Frabotta first performed at 12 Grapes when she was 15. Her voice, her guitar playing and her songwriting so impressed us, she was immediatley invited back. Melissa has performed at several of our singer/songwriter showcases, including our 500th Performance event last April.

Kristina Koller, a Yorktown High School junior, and Omar Ramirez from Walter Panas High, were also "discovered" at one of our new Kids' Open Mic nights. Kristina plays acoustic guitar and ukelele. Omar has a great voice and his passion comes through in every song. They'll each do alternating sets, twice around.

Join us tonight as we welcome these three very talented songwriters to our stage. We can't wait to see where they go from here.

Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts
Online: www.wtbq.com or 93.5FM, NY   See Map
A childhood poet/spelling bee champ and published author , Robyn was a writer and author (publishing two bestselling books in her twenties) before turning her full attention to music. Her writing skills applied to song earned quick recognition. Her literate songcraft earned more than 50 songwriting honors since 2005, including first place at Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, Grand Prize in the 2009 John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and 2009 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist. Her second recording Many Moons was one of the most-played records on folk radio in 2009, with no special promotion or representation. An unpretentious and authentic performer, her intimate vocals and folk-pop-Americana melodies are infused with warmth, her lyrics with intelligence and vulnerability. Her articulate, sometimes fierce writing is often compared to Richard Shindell's.
