Rock (classic) | Towne Crier Cafe

 The New Riders Of The Purple Sage, signed to Columbia Records by Clive Davis, released its eponymous first album in September 1971 to widespread acclaim. In the next 11 years the band toured and released over 12 albums, selling over 4 million records. NRPS began as a part-time spin-off from the Grateful Dead when Jerry Garcia (pedal steel guitar), Phil Lesh (bass) and Mickey Hart (drums) teamed up with John Dawson (guitar, vocals) and David Nelson (guitar). Although early live appearances were viewed as an informal warm-up to the main attraction, the group quickly established an independent identity through the strength of Dawson's original songs. By 1970 Dave Torbert had replaced Lesh, and Spencer Dryden, formerly of Jefferson Airplane, had joined as the group's permanent drummer. Garcia remained in both The Dead and The New Riders until he found himself over-committed, at which time Buddy Cage replaced him, and the classic NRPS lineup was born.

 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.

Peekskill, NY See Map |
 Think 60's Northern Soul, a little Burt Bacharach, a bit of free association, a dash of Bowie and James Brown, and you have "Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak". This piano-driven, soul-influenced band features an incredible live show with crazy energy, outrageous humor, and unbelievable originality. A "Performance-Art / Rock combo", with lead singer, songwriter, and trumpeter Robert Whaley dancing and jumping from stage to dance floor with unabashed abandon.
Whaley previously fronted NYC rock legend, The Niagaras. With a penchant for interpretive dancing on tabletops and hilariously satirical rants on a broken childhood, Whaley electrified national audiences with appearances on Good Morning America, the O Network and Fox. With "Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak", this "screwball" band has managed to create a sound and show which is both timeless and cutting-edge.

 We're thrilled to welcome back singer/songwriter/guitarist John Hall to The Towne Crier after his two terms as US Congressman.

He wrote for Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, The Doobie Brothers, Linda Ronstadt, Ricky Skaggs and James Taylor. John has also played guitar solos on records by Taj Mahal, Carly Simon and Little Feat. As one of the organizers of the historic No Nukes concerts, he was among the performers featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine with co-producers Graham Nash, Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt.

 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.

 When Bono (of U2) recently stated "I think she has one of the greatest voices the human ear has ever experienced," he was heralding what many people know already about Clannad's Moya Brennan: she sings like nothing you've ever heard before! Moya's live shows --with their trademark intimacy and power-- are a rich and moving experience. Being dubbed the "First Lady of Celtic Music" is an honour she doesn't take lightly. Coming from a musical family that includes new-age artist Enya, Grammy award winner Moya Brennan continues to explore new challenges and boundaries. The power of her whispered tones and the beauty of her music never fail to touch the soul. "Brennan is that rare artist who, by defying exact categorization, remains one to continually keep and eye on" -Billboard
