Marlboro, NY See Map |
 Sleeping Bee is the new musical endeavor of longtime friends and multi-instrumentalists, Lindsey Horner and Andy Goessling. Their debut self-produced recording, Heyday Maker, showcases their wide range of musical expertise and a depth of feeling gathered from years of experience. Valued friend and percussionist, Randy Crafton, adds his artistry to the proceedings.
With Heyday Maker completed and released, Andy, Lindsey and Randy have been working on new material and have excitingly expanded the concept by adding singer and guitarist, Timothy Hill. Timothy is a unique artist who specializes in harmonic singing whereby two or more notes can be sung at once - as well as the more conventional types of singing.
The music of Sleeping Bee exists in that unique early 21st century area where Folk, Jazz, Celtic song forms, melodic improvisation, and original ideas all happily co-exist and vitalize each other – Alt Folk Jazz Celt Grass, to coin a term. |

1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 Roy Buchanan 1939-1988
(http://www.allmusic.com/artist/roy-buchanan)
Buchanan's reputation as a hot-shot guitarist extends back to the beginnings of rock & roll itself. On the road and recording with Dale Hawkins by his teens, Buchanan became the law of the land around the Washington, D.C., area by the mid-to-late '60s. His use of the Fender Telecaster, using high harmonic squeals in place of feedback and distortion, was part and parcel of rock guitar's vocabulary by the early '70s. In 1960 Roy Buchanan replaced Fred Carter Jr. as guitarist in Ronnie Hawkins' Hawks. After a short period, he left the Hawks and teenager Robbie Robertson took over the lead guitar. Buchanan, one of Robertson's main guitar influences, also performed as an opening act for the reunited Band on their 1987 tour. A reluctant superstar, Buchanan's unique stylings remain etched into his best records. He was a consummate guitarist, capable of tones and techniques that other guitarists only dream of.

 The late Dewey Balfa once said "A culture is like a tree, you have to water the roots, but you can't go cutting off the branches every time the tree tries to grow". Well, Racines (which means "roots" in French) both waters the roots and stretches outward. A collaborative project of three gentlemen who are all well-known Cajun musicians in their own right, Racines explores the varying musical traditions that call Southwest Louisiana home: Cajun music, Zydeco, blues and more. Their only self-titled cd release garnered a Grammy nomination in 2007.
STEVE RILEY, of Mamou Louisiana, is a widely acknowledged master of the Cajun accordion and its singularly powerful sound. KEVIN WIMMER has been playing fiddle since the tender age of three. He performed frequently with Dewey Balfa and learned the essence of the tradition directly from him. CHRIS STAFFORD is a musician and producer/recording engineer based in Lafayette, LA. He is a four time grammy nominee. |

Mr. Ohno has 16 recordings under his own name as a leader and has appeared on over thirty more as a sideman.
Born in Gifu, Japan, Shunzo's career hit high gear when toured with Art Blakey‘s Jazz Messengers. The compelling Latin energy in Shunzo's playing can be linked to his tenure with the celebrated Machito and his Afro-Cuban Orchestra and he recorded the Grammy Award-winning album with Machito and His Salsa Big Band (1983).
Shunzo then joined master arranger and composer Gil Evans, becoming a key contributor on recordings, including the 1988 Grammy Award-winning "Live at Sweet Basil". Shunzo made a total of four recordings with Evans, who remained a lifelong mentor to him.

“This is electric blues with an eclectic and somewhat demented spin.
The group’s sense of humor is as much to be appreciated as their hard-rocking, guitar-heavy sound.
They sound pretty damn good on the CD, a tight power trio that can get into a driving groove and stay there.”
Philip Farber,Kingston Freeman
“The Outpatients are cool musical dudes.The guys make riffin’, rockin,’ fun music that sounds like a cross between Chuck Berry and a funkier version of those early Beatles, or least the Dave Clark Five.”

 The song-writing team of Erin Hobson and Steven Ross churn out songs that surprise. This one-of-a-kind ensemble weaves tapestries of musical fare with unexpected depth and sensitivity. The duet’s live show is uplifting and textured - combining musical styles into a sound that’s totally new.
Erin Hobson (guitar/vocals) has performed nationally, and is known for her poetic lyrics, masterful guitar technique and unique vocal quality. Her guitar virtuosity and explosive phrasing is anything but soft. The combination often startles.
Steven W. Ross (bass/production) Multi-instrumentalist; Ross has scored and played for radio, TV and film, including two original songs in the 2010 Sundance award-winning mock rockumentary “Colin Fitz Lives!” Steven’s arrangements and “never sag, never brag” bass lines are inventive, unique melodic grooves that define The Compact’s sound. |

 World renowned, rock guitarist, Gary Hoey takes on the Blues with his new album, “Deja Blues,” available now on Wazoo Music Group. “This is an album of original blues songs I’ve wanted to record for a long time. The Blues has always been near and dear to my heart. I have so much respect for it. When I’m recording a blues song, it’s a 5 minute journey and you can’t take a breath, you can’t keep punching in the recording button to fix stuff or it loses the vibe.”
At sixteen, Hoey often lingered outside Boston’s renowned Berklee College of Music making friends and offering to pay for lessons. To devote more of his time to music, the prodigy would cut high school classes so that he could hone his guitar playing skills all the while playing Boston’s local clubs and teaching guitar to avoid a day job and keep the guitar in his hands.cover of the Focus hit, “Hocus Pocus”. Not only did the hit rocket into the Billboard Top 5.

| Mike Laureanno is the real deal Americana .. poignant themes, memorable refrains, warm vocals and unforgettable arrangements. Mike's songs have been accused of passing the whistle test with direct honesty. His background in traditional folk music makes for melodies that sound like they were written long ago, while his lyrics make ample use of metaphor and avoid cliché. In addition to being a songwriter Mike is a recording engineer, producer and sideman. Mike produced and recorded folksinger Michael Troy's debut CD "Whispers in the Wind" and Mike played bass guitar and sang high harmony for 12 years behind legendary NYC Fast Folk founder, Jack Hardy. |
