After several years putting the Funk Junkies together with some of New York's best musical talent, we can assure you they are specialists. This 14 piece band with a 5 piece horn section lays down the funk! Check them out to cure what ails you!

From their first jam session it was evident there was an undeniable chemistry between them, and they immediately knew they had something special... a musical "Trifecta". The band is a frequent performer at our Open Rock Jam and Band Showcase, and every time they take our stage the audience loves them. They write their own music and perform popular Rock covers.

With so much success happening so quickly the band says they're ready for the future and to astonish wherever they go.

Pete has a huge appreciation for all of music - from Hank to Hendrix, Duke to Dylan, Bach to Buck, Son House to Son Volt or Muddy to Miles. Steeped in electric blues from T-Bone through Stevie Ray, with a good understanding of early country blues, Pete has a deep well to draw from.

Pete's original material is eclectic to say the least, running the gamut from straight ahead Rock & Roll, Americana, Electric and Acoustic Blues, Country, Singer-songwriter, Alternative, and other influences.

In addition to being an accomplished singer/frontman and leader, Pete is a sought after sideman. Mitch Woods regularly calls him on as one of his East Coast Rocket 88’s, even taking him to Greece for a two week residency at the Half Note Jazz club in Athens in ‘08-’09. Pete was lucky enough to share the stage his idols, Hubert Sumlin, and Pinetop Perkins.

Tom Freund & Friends
Singer-Songwriter

Marlboro, NY   See Map
"Pronounced Froy-nd, which means Awesome in Austrian" - Jason Mraz

It’s in the seemingly effortless ease with which he delivers his conversational lyrics and mellifluous melodies, this natural magic that is at the heart of Tom Freund’s music. Though he’s well-schooled and widely-traveled in a variety of genres -- from heartfelt folk, to buoyant pop, to boho jazz, to straightforward rock ’n’ roll, and beyond -- Freund ultimately comes across simply as a singer-songwriter with his own singularly distinctive and engaging voice.

Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe

Dan Strauss has become a favorite NYC and Hudson Valley singer-songwriter with an intimate vocal style. His music could be described as indie-folk, country, pop or rock, evoking all the styles he grew up on, from the melodic hooks of the Beatles and Elvis Costello to the warmth of James Taylor and Nick Drake to the storytelling style of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. Finding songwriting inspiration from contemporary artists like Wilco, Feist and The Shins, Dan writes openly and expressively about life, love and occasionally, his own musical instruments. Dan plays regularly, alone with his bluegrassy band. He has independently released three CD's, "Renting Happiness", "Rocking Chair"and "Circles".

With The Brooklyn Travelin' String Band, Dan explores traditional American music with an urban twist.

Soñando
Latin
The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
The hot Latin sounds of Soñando have earned them the reputation as the Hudson Valley's premier Latin band. This spicy blend of music and musicians have performed in clubs, at private functions, community festivals, benefit concerts, on radio and television, as well as the Puerto Rico Day Parade in NYC, but the band is at home wherever a dance floor can be cleared. Fueled by a fiery rhythm section and high-octane horns, Soñando plays a wide variety of Latin styles from Plena and Son to Salsa and Merengue!

"The name of the band is Spanish for "dreaming" but when the hordes come out for Soñando, they don't sleepwalk-they dance. And we're not talking a few perfunctory head-bobs or butt-wiggles, they dance until they go up in flames like, Tula's unquenchable bedroom in the Cuban lyrics above." -Woodstock Times

Saxophonist-composer Adam Larson began playing saxophone at the age of 11. Described by critic Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune as "a player for whom the word 'prodigious' was coined", and by Peter Hum of the Ottaw Citizen as "a saxophonist who brings Donny McCaslin and Mark Turner to mind", Larson has garnered numerous awards. As the leader of his own quintet, Larson recently released his debut album "Simple Beauty". The quintet has performed at the Jazz Gallery, the Blue Note, Smalls, Cornelia St Café, the Kitano, JALC, and serveral others.

Larson's quartet similarly includes those deeply invested in the music and his vision: pianist Can Olgun, bassist Raviv Markovitz;and drummer Guilhem Flouzat. "I want my music to connect with as many people as I can. I’m hopeful that the music on this album will have a little something for everyone."
