Travis Caudle
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Following in the footsteps of some of his favourite artists like Colin Hay, Lloyd Cole and The Church, Travis’ lyrics are powerful instruments for reflection and hopefully change – just as life offers up a myriad of possibilities, some good – others not so good, Travis says his writing tries to see the best of it. Travis’ guitar-based pop songs push his voice out front and have been said to echo artists like England’s David Gray and Scottish band The Blue Nile.

The singer/songwriter has notched up several hundred shows in the past two years, which includes two trips to Canadian Music Week to perform and, showing his artistic versatility, support slots for acts like Jimmy Barnes, Kasey Chambers, Hinder, The Black Crowes, Tim Rogers, Taxiride and James Reyne. He and The Woodenelves have also been invited to international festivals SXSW and CMJ.

Built in 1918, The Chance Theater has had a long history as a performing arts venue. It was opened as a vaudeville house called the Dutchess Theatre in 1926. It became the Carol Players Playhouse, then the Playhouse Theatre in 1928. Showing vaudeville and films at the time, the theatre introduced silent film in the 1920's. The venue changed ownership many times throughout the 1920's and 1930's. From 1945 to 1970 the building was closed and was used as a storage facility. In 1970 Larry Plover opened the venue as "Sal's last Chance Saloon". Plover turned the old vaudeville theatre into a music venue; welcoming legendary acts such as The Police, The Ramones, Muddy Waters, Pete Seeger and Charles Mingus. Closed again in 1977, Peter Francese re-opened the venue in 1980 under the name "The Chance". In 1994 current owner, Frank Pallett acquired the legendary music venue. Pallett has brought acts such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Ted Nugent and countless other contemporary and classic rock bands to Poughkeepsie, NY.

Superb Renditions of Classic Rock
with Powderfinger
Rock (classic)
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Remember the term "Supergroup"? That's the best way to describe Powderfinger, a group considered by many Rock fans to be one of the best 3-piece classic Rock bands in the tri-state area. Bob Goetz (bass & vocals) and Norman Dodge (guitar & vocals) have been working together for over 17 years. This has resulted in an extensive song list which enables them to field most requests from their audience, making for a fun, interactive experience. With Ronnie Negro (drums & vocals), Powderfinger is a band that can methodically replicate all your classic Rock favorites, playing songs the way they were meant to sound and the way you want to hear them. From The Allman Brothers to ZZ Top and everything in between. A great, top-notch musical experience is guaranteed!
