| My primary instrument is my voice, and my guitar embellishes, accompanies, and decorates it. My sound and style are my own. Exposure to music and vocal styles of all types, ranging from standards to jazz to folk/traditional to blues, and to the music of Great Britain, the Appalachian Mountains of Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina, have influenced my sound and led me to describe my music as "eclectic acoustic." I have opened for Christine Lavin and Dave Cousins and performed in Showcases and the Open Mic Finals at the Towne Crier Cafe in Pawling, NY, and appeared in venues in the Hudson Valley and Southwestern CT. I perform a good mix of songs, including my own compositions, covers, and traditional music. I like to tell the stories of the traditional songs I sing and might focus on the song's provenance, themes, imagery, history, depiction of characters, etc. Listeners tell me that they enjoy learning about this traditional music. |

| “You can’t help being amazed at the power of her presence and the sound of her voice…you cant help but listen” said the Minneapolis Star Tribune when Barb Ryman first came on the music scene. Now a seasoned touring artist, her latest CD, Catch the Sunset, was a 2011 top-played album on the Folk DJ chart. Supported by Prairie Home Companion regulars, Peter Ostroushko and Prudence Johnson, the album is a sweet melodic ride flowing from intimate personal confessions to wise cultural commentaries. In concerts Barb delivers a rich mosaic of contemporary folk, drawing from celtic balladry, early rock, old-time gospel, and her own unique style, all carried with a crystalline voice and skillfully played guitar. A natural storyteller with captivating charm and disarming honesty on stage, Ryman is dedicated to writing music that is healing and restoring to the human spirit. She’s an award-winning songwriter and finalist in a number of festivals including the Winfield Folk Festival (2007), |

The John St. Jam is the most talked-about music venue in the Hudson Valley. On the 2nd (and 5th) Saturday of every month we present 8 of the area’s best musicians in an intimate, living-room setting. We do two 'rounds' of four players each with an intermission. The room is cozy, the people friendly, and the performances are always top-notch. Musical styles range from folk to blues, from rock to ragtime. And it's all only $5!
The "stage" is a big, comfortable rug in the middle of the room with four chairs arranged in a circle. The audience is seated around the outside and is never more than a few feet from the musicians. This format provides the intimacy of a living room and allows the musicians to interact in ways that aren't possible in the traditional coffeehouse format.

7:30 pm | Sloan Wainwright, Sharon Goldman
Singer-Songwriter, Pop/Soft Rock, and Folk/Traditional | Common Ground @ South Church
South Presbyterian Church, 343 Broadway
Dobbs Ferry, NY See Map |
 Folk-pop artist Sloan Wainwright belongs to a musical dynasty of impossibly gifted singer-songwriters. Sloan’s incredible gift is not only her unique songwriting ability but her dramatically voiced rendition of her original songs. She’s folk-influenced, obviously (you can’t grow up in the First Family of Folk and not be, one imagines), but the real star here is her voice. Warm and smoky and smooth, it makes her earthy, ominous lyrics seem all the more intense. Defying standard categorization, singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright consistently demonstrates her easy command of a variety of American musical styles — pop, folk, jazz and blues — held together by the melodious tone of her rich contralto. The end result, a unique and soulful hybrid. Sharon Goldman is a New Jersey-based singer-songwriter with over a decade of writing songs and four albums under her belt.

 The coffeehouse consists of an open mic with a featured performer. Admission is $6 ($5 for Folk Guild Members). The featured performer on May 12 is Stuart Kabak. It could be said that if Harry Chapin and Joni Mitchell were to have a love child he would probably sound like Stuart Kabak. Listen to the songs and you will hear the razor sharp story telling lyrics reminiscent of Harry and the lush alternate tuning melodies Joni is known for. This artful combination has won Stuart numerous songwriting awards of various stripes both regionally and nationally including no less than eight from the Great American Song Contest. Five of his songs have been recorded by Fast Folk. Stuart also has his own CD, No Matter Where You’re Going, which has received radio airplay.

This years list of performers includes Magpie, Kim & Reggie Harris, Nancy Tucker, Kate McDonnell and Willie Nininger. And as always, the show will be broadcast live on WAMC Northeast Public Radio.Most of Phil's songs were very political, some humorous and some very serious. He wrote about the topics of the day - civil rights, Viet Nam, hungry miners, and personalities such as Billy Sol Estes, William Worthy and Lou Marsh.In 1967 he signed with A&M Records where his first release was "Pleasures of the Harbor" in which he used heavily orchestrated arrangements for the first time. Some fans criticized this change, while others accepted it.Phil continued to perform and to travel around the world until his death. Many of Phil's songs have been covered by other artists.

 "The highlight September performance in Paris was tenor saxophonist Ray Blue. This former member of Sun Ra's Arkestra and student of Ornette Coleman set the Caveau des Oubliettes on fire...His music was fresh and captured the mind without straying away too long from the strongest groove." Downbeat Magazine
Ray's newest CD, "Berries and Blues" serves you the fruits of his music-a story is told by merging jazz, blues and African folk rhythms. The players chosen for this project are brilliant musicians who came together on the gig in Paris, with a chemistry and sound that was nothing less than exceptional.
Ray has preformed with Steve Turre, Eddie Henderson, Gary Bartz, T.K. Blue, Bob Gaddy, Wycliff Gordon and Benny Powell. He plays with The Spirit of Life Ensemble and tours with The Ray Charles Show.
The Ray Blue Sound is at once big and warm, dynamic and romantic, nostalgic and modern. It's "Blue Jazz".
FOR THIS SHOW, SEATING STARTS AT 8:30, THE SHOW AT 9:00 PM

 The Chris O'Leary Band won The 2011 Blues Blast Awards for New Artist Debut Release for their CD "Mr. Used To Be". The band performed live on WGLT Blues radio. They were also a finalist at the 32nd Annual Blues Music Awards in Memphis for Best New Artist Debut.
We're not surprised. Chris O'Leary is one of the Hudson Valley's hottest Blues harp players, and his band is made up of seasoned Blues musicians, including "scorching" blues guitarist Chris Vitarello, Sean McCarthy on drums, Willa McCarthy on vocals, Frankie Ingrao on bass, and Andy Stahl and Chris DiFrancesco on sax. The band's powerful, horn-driven sets are marked by O'Leary wailing on harmonica.
Chris O'Leary was the lead singer and front man for Levon Helm for over 7 years, and has performed with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Jimmy Vivino, Dave Maxwell and many others. If you love great Blues, don't miss this night!

Bedford Chamber Concerts presents Angel Oratorio, an original choral and orchestral work, composed by renowned musician Anthony Newman.
Lloyd Moss of WQXR praised the Angel Oratorio calling it, “… a work in the time-honored tradition of baroque masters, that in its brilliant harmonies speaks eloquently to todays audiences. I have no doubt it will be a part of our timeless musical literature.”
Last Fall, Steve Wexler & The Top Shelf played two major fundraising galas, one of which charged $1,000 to hear The Top Shelf perform as the featured entertainment. Tonight, catch a FREE live rehearsal of this amazing 11-piece band, powered by original arrangements and a truly remarkable lineup of professional musicians. 
Thanks to Kurt Henry & Cheryl Lambert, the beat goes on at this music friendly cafe.
