Rene Carlson is a rare gem -- a woman of formidable talent on an instrument traditionally dominated by men. Whether grinding out gut-bucket Blues, coaxing the sweetness from old-time Country, delivering high-energy Rock, or playing lightning-speed Bluegrass, she is one of the very few harmonica players equally adept at almost any genre. Rene's honeyed tones and soulful sound have been admired by national harp pros like Phil Wiggins, Curtis Salgado and Annie Raines. Renee has played NYC venues like B.B. King's and Terra Blues, and has shared the stage with Guy Davis, the Campbell Brothers, Debbie Davies, and others. Renee's unmistakable harp is in high demand among Westchester musicians, but for this engagement she is letting the harp take center stage, supported by Geoff Hartwell, an extraordinary slide guitarist, songwriter and singer in his own right. Join us for this very special night of Blues. **$5 Entertainment Fee or Free with dinner entree** | ||

Who was Jean Elie? A four year old boy who spent his days like any other, coloring pictures and eating spaghetti for lunch with his friends at school. What stands out about this boy is that instead of enjoying snack time and eating what was provided for him by The Heart School in Haiti, Jean Elie chose to sneak it home in his back pack to share it with his starving family. His selfless act may have gone unnoticed except that Jean Elie's selflessness resulted in his death due to malnutrition.

Ed Palermo is not a “business as usual” musician. After all, when most people think of “big bands” they think of Duke and Dorsey. But go to see Ed Palermo’s Big Band and you might hear Zappa, Hendrix, the blues of Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield or one of Ed’s own compositions, loaded with lush turns and unexpected twists. Ed’s interpretation of the music of iconoclastic composer Frank Zappa has brought him wide recognition. His first CD of this material, “the ed palermo big band plays the music of frank zappa”, garnered rave reviews. Downbeat magazine gave the CD a 4-star review. Palermo’s second CD of Zappa material, entitled “Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance”, has been received with equal enthusiasm from publications all over the world, including another rave from Downbeat. | ||
