jB's soul-Jazz Brunch!!!
with Jeremy Baum, Myles Mancuso, Lee Falco
Blues, Jazz, and Rock (classic). Soul-Jazz
the Falcon
1348 Rte 9w
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Join us for some tasty soul-jazz and brunch at the Falcon in Marlboro!! Jb (Hammond Organ) toured for over 6 years with Grammy nominated singer Shemekia Copeland. With musical prodigies Lee Falco on drums/vocals and Myles Mancuso on guitar/vocals.

Both traditional and trailblazing...Highly recommended. ***Blues Review Magazine***

Baum's playing has a deep funk to it, with a big influence of Jimmy Smith. And Baum also brings in all kinds of other things as well - dissonant jazz, alternative rock, R&B. He's not too far off from what John Medeski does with Medeski, Martin and Wood, but with more of a blues streak to it. ***Jim Trageser. Escondido, Calif. ***

She is already making a name for herself at clubs in and around the Hudson Valley, at charity events and local concerts. Kristina even performed at the world-famous Apollo Theatre last September.

Chris Trapper is a modern day folk-singer whose live show is a favorite among fans of alt-acoustic music. Chris' organic understanding of classic pop melody is infectious. His on-stage persona is warm and inclusive, his songs speak to the heart and to everyday experiences. Chris is perhaps most known for his original song This Time, the #1 selling tune on the Grammy nominated soundtrack for August Rush. Original frontman for beloved '90s alternative rock band THE PUSH STARS, Chris Trapper is equally sure-footed in his solo career with original tunes on 5 solo CDs, a variety of film and TV placements, and the distinction of having co-written the focus tracks on Fortune's Favour, the gold record from Canadian band Great Big Sea.

Anker
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Anker is a solo acoustic singer/ songwriter raised in Upstate NY but now residing in central NJ. Even though his teenage years were in the 90’s, the music of the Woodstock era and modern acoustic rock can be found in the stories of Anker’s songs.

Anker's self-produced debut CD “Deliver Down” was released world wide on August 7, 2012 to all digital music retailers. "Deliver Down" is the organic middle ground between solo-acoustic and a full band. Anker layers his acoustic guitar, a ukulele (and a bass on some tracks) to bring out the hooks and infectious melodies. This album gives Anker the chance to explore his songs and present them with more detail and fuller arrangements without getting lost in the noise of a band which would take away the charm of his acoustic roots.

Pawling, NY   See Map
Dave Alvin, Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter and self-described "barroom guitarist," is widely considered to be one of the pivotal founders of the current Americana music scene. A fourth generation Californian, Dave Alvin grew up in Downey, California as the local landscape quickly evolved from orange groves and dairy farms to tract homes and freeways. He went on to found The Blasters with his brother, Phil, a group he left to go on to other bands including "X" and The Knitters, record solo projects such as King Of California, and to head project groups such as The Guilty Men and The Guilty Women. As Dave says with sly chuckle, "My songs are not necessarily true, but they're all autobiographical."
