 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.

 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.

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.

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.

 Based in the Woodstock/Kingston area and playing a unique blend of Roots Rock, Soul and Funk, McGroovin’ is a great new band. They came together in early 2010 when Mike O’Leary – lead vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist – was working on a solo album. He brought in Steve Mulvaney – whom he had already been playing with in the smooth jazz band ds168 – on lead acoustic and electric guitars and Mike Colletti – with whom he’d played a number of dates as a duet for several years – on bass. The varied artistic leanings of the musicians which ran the range from jazz to blues to folk to funk came together to produce a rich and versatile sound.

Miami Mo is up north for the summer: he'll be on keys,
vocals, and the unique Eb sopranino sax. standards,
jazz, blues, latin, brazilian and more are in his repertory.
Mo works in stream-of-consciousness improv mode- never plays from a set list or set arrangement-but he will play your faves on request..tips appreciated.
after 8:00 pm Mo welcomes pro singers and horn players to sit in with him-no amateurs please.
some of you may remember the famed Jazzmania Society Loft on 23st Manhattan 1975-85. Mo was the founder/director under his birth name..also MM..he moved to Miami in 1992 and has spent summers in the hv since 2005.
Miami reviews:
"best jazz musician" Miami Beach Sun-Post
"unique style..local legend" Miami New Times
"Mo is wonderful" Tony Bennett

Blues | Towne Crier Cafe

Pawling, NY See Map |
 John Németh is a rising blues star: a singer steeped in the tradition, reminiscent of B.B. King, Ray Charles and Junior Parker; and a harmonica player of riveting intensity & virtuosity that has earned him the honor of opening for Robert Cray, Keb Mo' and Earl Thomas. Németh was also a featured artist with Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets, as well as the Junior Watson Band. John's uncanny blend of retro-modern blues and soul music will delight purists and young hipsters alike. Bob Margolin wrote in Blues Revue Magazine, "I remember telling friends in 1980 that they should go see Stevie Ray Vaughan, but they weren't impressed because he wasn't famous yet. It will give me great pleasure to say 'I told you so!' about John Németh. You'll see ... John Németh is a natural-born Bluesman, and he proves it with every note he sings, shaping each one with emotion, taste and inspiration."; "Boy! John Németh can really belt it out!" -Charlie Musslewhite

Nobody in today’s blues world successfully bridges searing electric guitar blues with unbridled rock and roll energy like Burks.Boasting remarkable natural talent and a blue-collar work ethic, Michael Burks is a musician with deep roots in the blues tradition. He performs every song he plays with intensity, conviction and soul
