The Reddan Brothers are a hard hitting blues/rock trio with the miles to back it. The Reddan Brothers grew up backing legends of blues and rock such as Bill Perry, Popa Chubby and Jimmy Vivino. With their newly released CD “Skeleton Key Sessions” those road miles seem to be put to good use. The group has been seen on such high profile gigs as Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble, Winchester Blues House Festival and the Blues on the Bridge Festival. The youthful energy of the band mixed with seasoned playing makes them a must see trio.

They'll be playing a mixture of some of Melissa's own original compositions as well as contemporary cover songs.

Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Lugwrench is comprised of seasoned pros who set out to create something new, fresh & original. The result is what has come to be known as "The Lugwrench Sound" ...a sound that's been described as "big, bright and full of life," as well as "beautiful, heavy and awe inspiring." It's danceable too! Whether they're playing their original music or covering songs by other artists, they do it in a way that is truly their own. Jimmy Silva & Jeff Comulada, on bass & drums, create a solid rhythm section that allows guitarist Steve O'Rourke the room he needs to create ambient soundscapes & melodic solos with passion & intensity. Utility man Rock Guerrero fills in the gaps on guitar, keyboards and harmonica, allowing frontman/vocalist Jim Brancato the freedom to lay down his strong impressive vocal parts. Most importantly, they do all this while having fun and putting on a show that is quite enjoyable.

Later, from 8 to 11 pm, they'll be playing again at the Peint O Gwrw as Jim Nelson makes the night's Last Call. If you're already a believer in SNARF, they are looking forward to seeing you this weekend. If you have never heard the band before, we warmly invite you to dig in and have a double serving of what EVERYBODY has been talking about. Okay, maybe not EVERYBODY, but there are a few of you out there! Well, okay fair enough! I once heard somebody talking about something, and it might have been the music this three piece quartet plays, the mysterious genre of SNARF. What is SNARF? It's too complicated to get into here, and besides, nobody really knows. But everyone likes how it sounds and feels! Come down to Lipperas on Rte. 66, and get some!

40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Songs of loss, hope and reflection; fears, truth and introspection... "Each time I've seen Jesse Brewster on stage I've grown more and more baffled and frustrated. How can a talent this large not be nationwide? Jesse needs to be discovered in a big way. He's ready for primetime. His live shows and CDs are top-quality productions that leave you wanting more. The musicianship, the showmanship, the voice, the vibe, the supporting cast -- they're all there, ..." -B. Ainsworth, Editor, Marin Independent Journal. Joel Streeter has been hailed as "one of pop's best kept secrets", as "a true pop talent", as "an indispensible songwriting talent", and as an "avowed melody junkie" drawing comparisons to Neil Finn, XTC, Elliott Smith, Paul McCartney and Badly Drawn Boy among others. Having just followed-up his debut album, Hear Me Out, with his second effort, Matador, he continues to draw praise and attention from music lovers everywhere.

River Jam Music Fest
Route 590 Scenic Drive

The Reddan Brothers are a hard hitting blues/rock trio with the miles to back it. The Reddan Brothers grew up backing legends of blues and rock such as Bill Perry, Popa Chubby and Jimmy Vivino. With their newly released CD “Skeleton Key Sessions” those road miles seem to be put to good use. The group has been seen on such high profile gigs as Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble, Winchester Blues House Festival and the Blues on the Bridge Festival. The youthful energy of the band mixed with seasoned playing makes them a must see trio.

KEVIN KANE Band, also MATT RAE Trio
Rock (classic)
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Dubbed Westchester's best songwriter/original band, and riding a growing wave of enthusiasm for the new single and video Get America Working, the Kevin Kane Band looks poised to start flying way above the radar. Critics are particularly complimentary of the band's full range of song styles --catchy riff rock, lyrical melody lines, new country and blues, up tempo pop and a three part harmony folk-- feel reminiscent of the original Newport Folk festival. That one band is so comfortable across such a wide and diverse musical spectrum makes them even more appealing live. Kevin's band will include special guest Clifford Carter. :|: Driven by the critically acclaimed telecaster styling of Matt Rae ~a Guitar Player Magazine "Guitar Hero" top 10 finalist~ The Matt Rae Trio performs an infectiously countrified, surf-a-billy, blues-funk-pop-jazz set of original instrumental numbers.
