This is just a small description of songbird Gabriele Tranchina. She brings to her music a worldview -- using music as a force for wholeness, a source of unity and energy for all. Collaborating with top New York musicians, Joe Tranchina (husband) on piano, Grammy Award Nominee Bobby Sanabria, on drums, bassist Santi Debriano and percussionist Renato Thoms, the textures of the songs on her recent CD, "A Song of Love's Color", range from delicate and soothing to dynamic and throbbing, from intricate woven to finely spun. Whether you are a lover of world cultures, of modern jazz, of creative partnership or just gorgeous singing, you will find satisfaction in this collection. Gabriele asks you to join her on this heartfelt musical journey, opening yourself to the joy and peace that music brings us all.

Two Legends, ACOUSTIC BLUES AT IT'S FINEST!! Don't miss it!

“Stefan Grossman has done just about everything one can do in the field of music. He has been..., a performer, a recording artist, a record company founder, a video producer,... a teacher, and a music historian. But it is his success in illuminating country blues, ragtime, and fingerstyle guitar techniques that has made him, in the words of Dave Van Ronk, ‘one of the most important people in fingerpicking guitar in the history of the phenomenon.’” – Acoustic Guitar

Steve Katz also studied guitar with Dave Van Ronk and the Reverend Gary Davis. Steve and Stefan were both part of the early 60s Greenwich Village Folk and Blues scene. Along with John Sebastian, Maria Muldaur, and David Grisman they formed the Even Dozen Jug Band. Steve then went on to The Blues Project, and of course he's best known as a founding member of Blood Sweat and Tears. Not to mention VP of Mercury Records!

An Acapella Extravaganza
with Dorraine , Phantoms Acapella
Acapella
Bearsville Theater
291 Tinker Street
Woodstock, NY   See Map
Featuring special guests, emceed by Kimberly Kay the Phantoms are Joe Veillette, Charlie Staxx, Brian Becker, Dorraine Scofield, Jasmine Veillette, Charlie Pistone and Jerry Mitnick. Acapella resists modern recording techniques. Click tracks, isolation booths, one-at-a-time overdubs all seem to dilute this style born of vocal groups imitating big band sounds with nothing but voices. Acapella thrives on the stoop, the subway station, and the tiled hallways of New York and Philadelphia. The Phantoms bring their twenty years of experience, and their keen ears to a style whose origins go back half a century. So kick back and discover Woodstock's best kept secret. Sure we have festivals, but when we want a real party…. this is who we call!

Phantom fan, John Sebastian $15 *** The Phantoms have sung and recorded with Eddie Money, Rick Danko, Jorma Kaukonen and Hot Tuna, John Sebastian, Mick Ronson Father Guido Sarducci(!), and Soupy Sales.
