Kirtan is the practice of devotional singing to the Divine through the use of Sanskrit mantras. A form of ‘bhakti’ yoga (the yoga of devotion), this powerful, transformational spiritual practice is considered an easy path to liberation. Kirtan opens the heart, purifies the entire being and the surrounding atmosphere and stills the mind.

If you have never been to one, rest assured it is a solemn, holy experience that is also a ton of fun! If you like to sing, clap, bang on a percussion instrument, or are simply open to new ways to pay homage to your highest Self, your Being, the Divine Presence, God, Vishnu, or whatever signpost to the Ineffable you like to use, then we encourage you to come and give it a try.

Held every 3rd Thursday of the month!

Putting It Together is the 1993 celebration of all things Sondheim: some of his most beloved songs (“Merrily We Roll Along,” “Pretty Women,” “Marry Me A Little,” “Being Alive”) from some of his most beloved shows – Sunday in the Park With George, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Assassins, and the film Dick Tracy. Funny, challenging, touching and affirming, this special review combines great heart with some of the greatest music ever written for the stage.

The Bereznak Brothers are a dynamic, genre-bridging group: twin brother singer-songwriter-guitarists Michael & David Bereznak, who have literally been living for music since they were six. Seamlessly fusing together elements of '80s & '90s rock, heartland rock and current pop/rock, they use their signature brand of vocal harmonies, tasteful guitar, and pop song writing sensibility to create a musical tour de force with timeless songs that gracefully touch upon the issues of growing up in a small town, family strength, friendship, love, and loneliness. :|: After twelve years with the award winning comedy trio "Modern Man," Rob Carlson returns to the Towne Crier with a new band and an evening of great new songs & old favorites. We've known for years that Rob is not only a very funny man, but a superb singer and songwriter. "This is the band I always wanted to do," he says, "with a lot of comedy but also a chance to present my songwriter side with a terrific new band."

Lara Hope & The Champtones
Rock (classic)
Keegan Ales
20 St. James St.
Kingston, NY   See Map
The Champtones emerged from guitar player Jeff Kadlic’s vision and love for the authentic early Rock-N-Roll born out of the recordings from the heyday era of Sun Records and the legendary echo of Scotty Moore’s guitar. After teaming up with bassist Josef Pelletier on an earlier project, Jeff knew that he had found the anchor for one bad-ass, rocking rhythm section. Shortly after, front woman and songstress Lara Hope came into the fold, giving The Champtones they key ingredient to their winning formula. Drummer Johnny Watson was the next piece of this intricate puzzle to fall into to place and, like that, Lara Hope & The Champtones were born!

Among guitarists & critics, Woody Mann is considered a modern master. While the blues are his touchstone, he seems to draw inspiration from every direction, blending a myriad influences with ease and grace. The pioneering finger-style legend John Fahey said it well: "You can hear classical, jazz and blues approaches somehow converging into a single sparkling sound -- a sound completely his own." Woody received his first musical schooling in the living room of Rev. Gary Davis, leaving an indelible influence on Davis' young student and friend. Woody complemented this tutelage with formal training at New York's celebrated Juilliard School. Since then, he has pursued a rich, diverse career, ranging from performing with jazz great Attila Zoller to teaching guitar to legendary recording artist Paul Simon. Mann has also been a faculty member at the New School in NYC; conducted master workshops throughout the world; founded International Guitar Seminars and Acoustic Sessions Inc; etc.

Featuring Jonny Monster on guitar and vocals, Rob Kissner on bass, and Roger LaRochelle on vocals and drum, the band is known for their fast take on the blues. In just 3 years they have carved a permanent place for themselves in the Hudson Valley music scene, and with the release of their self-titled debut LP they have further secured their spot as a top act in the area. The band’s energetic and fresh take on rock n’ blues has been heard at such memorable shows and events as The Rosendale Street Festival 2008, Arlene’s Grocery, The Bitter End-NYC and opening for the legendary guitarist Johnny Winter at the Bearsville Theater in January of 2011. Jonny Monster’s high-energy aggressive guitar style captivates audiences, and puts the band at the head of the future of rock n’ blues music; as well as making them a must see live act.

Singer-Songwriter, Jazz. Indie
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
They say she "has a voice like Jewel with a touch of Jazz." Cassandrea Frake's songwriting is creative, touching and uniquely original. Her song, "Like the Breeze," is a folksy, jazzy, love-tribute. The love theme runs deep in her music and even inspired her to start playing guitar. In her interview on lohud.com's The Listening Room, Cassandra said she began writing music "...to impress somebody--one of the guys I had a crush on--but that guy fell through, and the music lasted." We're glad it did.

Tonight, Cassandra will be joined by a talented singer/songwriter duo, Haley Jane Rose and Jen Fischer. Haley is a drama major at UArts in Philly, and Jen a vocal major at Berklee in Boston. The two have been together since high school, and were discovered at one of our recent Open Mic nights. Their voices and harmonies are amazing... join us for another relaxing Sunday Singer/Songwriter Showcase.

Since Christopher Robin picked up the guitar, his musical roots have included personal lessons from artists like Michael Hedges and Gregg Allman – yet his tone, chord structure, feel, searing solos and sense of melody remain truly his own. "All of my songs are true stories … They're about all the things I've done, from sailing on tall ships to being a cowboy in Colorado, to playing for Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses in Europe and the Hells Angels." Christopher Robin's live performances ~sharing the stage or recording with a long list of artists including Gregg Allman, Robert Cray, Lee Sklar, The Marshall Tucker Band, Del McCoury and Peter Yarrow~ have earned him a reputation as a high-energy crowd pleaser.
