His lifelong interest in early American music led him from Country and Ragtime guitar, through Blues, to Tin Pan Alley and Jazz – all by the eighth grade. His own compositions and playing reflect this life-long devotion to the history of American Popular song – linking rural and urban, long gone and contemporary.

Terry’s unique interpretations of classic jazz standards have brought her international recognition as one of the few contemporary female jazz singers still performing the hot small band swing material from the 1930s.
The High Falls Café will offer their breakfast and lunch menus, as well as service from the Café’s full bar. There’s no cover charge for “Jazz At The Falls" Sunday brunches, however we do pass the hat for a suggested $5 donation. Terry, Mark & Matt have always drawn a great crowd of jazz fans & swing dancers alike, so reservations are strongly suggested. (845) 687-2699.

James' music has been described by others as being a mixture of such diverse artists as John Fahey and Robbie Basho meets Erik Satie. His music can range from uplifting to haunting, inspirational to gothic. It reaches across many different genres of music and appeals to a wide range of listeners.
Drawing his inspiration from individual experience and inner reflection, James’ debut album Reality of the Fantasy is a deeply personal affair, and much of it has an air of melancholy, anger and the regrets and frustrations of everyday life. At the same time, Reality of the Fantasy is a collection of songs that is a quest to find harmony in a world of dissonance and discord, creating a calming, soothing yet hypnotic quality to the music for the listener to experience.

with Gay Marshall
Edith Piaf | Howland Cultural Center
477 Main Street
Beacon, NY See Map |
 Gay Marshall, who played Diana Morales in "A Chorus Line" on Broadway will perform her Edith Piaf tribute at The Howland Cultural Center in Beacon on May 8.
Ms. Marshall's show, titled PIAF: Queen of Heart, is not an impersonation of the French icon, but an exciting, personal interpretation which includes rare and known Piaf material, along with Marshall's own English adaptations. Marshall worked with Piaf's true friends and collaborators to create a vivid picture of the woman they described as full of joie de vivre and humor, despite the well documented tragedies in her life. This is a brilliant show for the entire family, and very accessible to those who don't speak French. Her CD, "Gay Marshall Sings Piaf", became a Billboard Top World Album in 2009. She is magical!

Performances feature his beautifully crafted songs offset by wonderful stories and wry observations on the world. His shows are a journey through the full range and richness of life. While there's plenty of weight to the topics covered in his lyrics, David's wit is never far away as well. His songs are an invitation to ask for more - more from your music, more from your relationships, more from your life. They are intended to be the soundtrack for a life well lived.

Voted best band runner-up (and top folk band) in the 2010 Long Island Press readers' poll, Gathering Time is one part Peter, Paul & Mary, a bigger part Crosby, Stills & Nash, and various pieces of The Byrds, Joni Mitchell, the Eagles and America; a head-turning folk-rock harmony trio described recently as "getting a whole beehive-full of buzz" on the northeast regional folk scene.
Glen, Hillary & Stuart are known for their seamless vocal blend, memorable melodies, meaningful lyrics and easy-going, fun, stage chemistry. Bob McKillop of MaineFolkMusic.com writes, "Gathering Time ... has perfected two separate but related art forms: three part harmony and having a ball on stage! When they harmonize, some sort of fundamental, cosmic concordance occurs that makes you very happy that you have ears.” |
