Lawrence Anthony ("LA" as he is affectionately known) has been entertaining for a long time. The power and seduction of music drew LA to sing, play and entertain. Combine Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass and James Brown, and you get LA's signature style: "old school romance" and soulful, heart-pounding funk! His unique registry as a bass/baritone singer brings passion and fire to the romantic songs that are an important part of this musical experience. LA has performed with the legendary Intruders as well as on many "Motown Review" assignments. He is currently the bass/baritone singer and co-founder of "Tradition", a wonderful "classic soul" singing group. LA has been heard as a radio personality on his own "Quite Storm" show on 91.1 WOSS in New York. He has been seen in commercials and on documentaries for public and commercial television.

If you love to dance to classic Motown tunes, don't miss this performance!

ELLIS PAUL, with special guest KATI MAC
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting. He was a principle leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene, creating a movement that revitalized the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990s. Ellis' charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop, and closer towards the realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today's singer-songwriters - his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks - he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.

Hudson, NY   See Map
This quintet of musical veterans ignite the evening with their sizzling, eclectic mixture of originals and original interpretations of grassroots americana music. Houston Jones features the highwire left-handed upside down guitar wizardry of former Waybacks and Hearts on Fire guitarist Glenn Houston and the whiskey-cured honky tonk vocals of Louisiana-born Travis Jones. Add to the equation Chris Kee (Peter Rowan, Norah Jones, the Waybacks) on bass, cello, and guitar; Peter Tucker (formerly of the Waybacks) on percussion; and Henry Salvia (the Johnny Nocturne Band) on keyboards and accordion, and you have a group that can comfortably embrace musical styles from bluegrass, country, folk, and gospel to blues, Texas swing, and jazz, and barely break a sweat—unlike their audience.

Also appearing: The 405s.

Jon Herington and Rob Morsberger have been playing and recording each other's music since the mid-nineties.

Each has inspired and influenced the other. Along the way, Jon became guitarist and MD for Steely Dan and Madeleine Peyroux, with numerous other album and tour credits; and Rob became a busy arranger/composer with sideman credits that include Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Marshall Crenshaw, Crash Test Dummies and many more. At The Beanrunner these two good friends will perform as a duo, each accompanying the other. USA Today declared that Rob's recent album 'Chronicle of a Literal Man' was "sumptuous"...a "mix of wit and grit". Reviewing a Steely Dan concert, the Times of London wrote "...lead guitarist Jon Herington...was nothing short of sensational."

Jen Clapp

A former member of NY’s Native Tongue, Beacon’s own Jen Clapp was a key player in the early ’90’s folk-punk scene in the city, with a steady gig at the legendary Cafe Sin-é, the stomping grounds of a young Jeff Buckley. In 2009 she released her debut CD, Lonesome Sunbeam, to much critical acclaim. www.jenclapp.com

“She’s written songs with Chris Difford of Squeeze and Adam Levy of Norah Jones fame, so Clapp knows a thing or two or ten about songwriting. . . “ - Folk & Acoustic Music

Kelleigh McKenzie

Armed banjo, guitar, and stompbox, McKenzie’s "Gin" won the 2009 Independent Music Award (IMA) for Best Americana Song from her acclaimed debut, ‘Chances’. She received two additional IMA nominations (Best Americana Album and Best Cover Song for "Eleanor Rigby") and was named a winner in last year's Mountain Stage NewSong Contest.

“An embracing froth of roots, rock, Americana; and high, clear voice unafraid to tweak a melody” - Folk & Acoustic Music
