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.

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.

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

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.

Harmonic Singing Workshop
with Timothy Hill
World
High Falls Studios

Saugerties, NY   See Map
OPEN TO ALL LEVELS OF MUSICAL EXPERIENCE $75, including lunch

The workshop will be open to all who are interested regardless of musical experience, from those who are being exposed to harmonic singing for the first time to experienced practitioners who wish to immerse themselves at a deeper level. While the core of the workshop will be grounded in an earthy, practical approach to the voice, and in experiencing some of the more striking phenomena at the root of harmony, we will also discuss the simple yet profound mathematics of the overtone series and the foundation it provides for a deeper understanding of music. In addition, we will touch briefly on the light that a knowledge of harmonic singing sheds on the roots of language; correspondences with contemporary science; harmonic chant and listening as meditation; and its use in healing.

Born into a family of Romani gypsies, in 1910, Django Reinhardt invented an entirely new style of jazz guitar technique (sometimes called Gypsy Jazz) that has since become a living musical tradition within French gypsy culture.

The Gypsy Jazz tradition is being upheld and updated by a lively trio called Le Pompe Attack with two-time Grammy nominee, jazz guitar legend Doug Munro, veteran player Ernie Pugliese and jazz and Broadway veteran bassist Michael Goetz. This group of musicians are serious about their dedication to preserving and advancing this exciting style of music. Le Pompe Attack plays the music of Django Reinhardt as well as Gypsy interpretations of standard jazz and popular music. They also compose and perform their own original compositions.

With sold out shows being the norm, Le Pompe Attack is living testimony to the public’s appetite for this lively and passionate style of music.
