Soulful Mountain Music | The Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 Bow made a name for himself in Boston with 7 League Boots, a rock/reggae band that shared the stage with the likes of Fugazi, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Pearl Jam. In the Green Mountains of Vermont, he explored the Delta Blues playing slide guitar for the original Elbow and began a relationship with the banjo—both in the bluegrass group, The Benders, and on his own—that continues to this day.
Comprised of a failed painter, some lousy carpenters, and a piano tuner, these acclaimed artists cultivate progressive, soulful mountain music in the hills of Vermont with an electric banjo, various other string instruments, used parts found in drums, and a keen eye for the human condition. Having played with luminaries Levon Helm, John Hiatt, Booker T, and Ringo Starr, the band has seen its fair share of travel across these United States of America and the World at large and plan to do more while supporting their records of facts, analogies and metaphors. |

 Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, acclaimed by The New York Times, as "A cross between ‘Yellow Submarine’ and Dr. Seuss."

Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic | Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY See Map |
| New York City born Margaret Bernstein is an award winning singer-songwriter, composer and flutist with a unique voice, dynamic lyrics, and a positive and compelling message. Unlike many other songwriters of the pop-rock genre, Margaret is a classically trained musician who is an accomplished instrumental performer as well as a composer. Her musical compositions, which include elements from a diverse spectrum of styles and genres, have been inspired in part by her personal experiences and travels, which include four pilgrimages to India. Her live performances are a testament to Margaret’s amazing versatility, as she quickly segues from playing a Bach Partita on her flute to passionately playing the piano on an upbeat pop song. What makes Margaret stand out, however, is not only her eclectic and interesting background and level of accomplishment as a musician, but also her ability to communicate honestly and personally with her audience at heart level through her songs and music.

1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 The Vinnie Zummo Trio is bop based but highly eclectic. At their Falcon performance expect the show to go from breakneck fusion to hard bop, heartbreaking ballads, spacy blues, Zydeco and bluegrass with many stops in between. His approach to playing jazz guitar is unique and languid, with phrasing more akin to a sax than a guitar.
Janice Zummo, long popular on the NYC session scene, is an amazing interpretive singer. At a recent SRO gig at The Bitter End with the trio, she brought audiences to tears with her unique phrasing and depth.
Cameron Brown and Ray Marchica are two of the elite of the New York jazz community. With credits between them that range from Barbara Streisand to Chet Baker you would be hard pressed to find a more swinging rythm section. Along with Janice & Vinnie the band has become as tight as can be with everyone practically breathing together.
Percussionist Bill Stuart joins the band for several songs as well. |

 Singer-songwriter Dario Saraceno, from Newburgh NY, received a bachelor’s degree from Berklee College of Music in 1988, and teaches guitar, mandolin, and bass. After years of performing in clubs around the Northeast, he began concentrating on original songs. “Rick Witkowski from Studio L in Weirton, WV had faith in me, my songs and my vocals,” Saraceno says. “When he began dancing behind the mixing board, I knew something good was happening.” Saraceno is now working on his third CD with his band, Dario and the Clear. “Performing songs that mean something to you drives you harder,” he says. “It gives you a real sense of purpose.”
“At the last minute, I was asked to open for Warren Zevon at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY, in 1998,” says Saraceno. This gave me the chance to perform the songs as they were originally written. It was a magical night, because the songs went over well stripped down, and because I got to spend time with Warren. Such a great songwriter.” |

His lyrics can be whimsically funny or deliver a powerful image with understated clarity and acute perceptiveness. His albums have been praised by the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and many other publications. It's always a pleasure to present John, one of folk's finest songwriter-performers. "Listening to John Gorka sing, one can get goosebumps all over. There are many reasons fresh lyrics, a stunning emotional baritone voice, his twisted humor but to focus on one limits the experience." -New York Times

| Laura Nyro was the quintessential singer/songwriter/pianist -- one of the first. Her groundbreaking music crossed the genres of folk, rock and jazz. She was one of the most covered artists in the 1960s & 1970s (Eli's Coming, Stoned Soul Picnic, Wedding Bell Blues, Sweet Blindness). She tragically passed in 1997. Finally, in 2012 she was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. In their new show, "Spero Plays Nyro," The Christine Spero Group will bring their own kind of power to Laura Nyro's music. Their arrangements with improvisation mixed with Laura's original arrangements have preserved the integrity of her music. Christine was the winner of the USA Songwriting Competition in the Jazz Category with her song, "He Wasn't Always That Way." Her music is now listened to around the world. Joining Christine will be saxophonist/percussionist Elliot Spero, bassist Scott Petito and drummer Peter O'Brien. The group will also be performing some of Christine's original songs. |

Xiques (Sitting in for Ken Lovelett).
This is one very cool joint, a bit of Brooklyn in the middle of all these trees. (there are a lot of trees up here)
So, come have a drink, some incredible, and I mean, incredible food, and I'll play my little heart out with the band du jour to soothe yer soul with some tunes that are familiar, yet, not. Come on down and I'll explain it to you...bring your mother too.
