SHOW CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER!
with Poor/Rende/Vu: The Blues (Delta and Otherwise), Ted Poor, Cuong Vu, Pete Rende
Blues. Improvisational
The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
In bridging the worlds of Delta blues icon Skip James and improvised art music, drummer Ted Poor turns to two masters of melody and texture: the keyboardist Pete Rende and, in a rare East Coast appearance, the trumpeter Cuong Vu. Renowned innovators in their own right, Poor, Rende and Vu convene to tackle a combination of new compositions and arrangements of Mississippi delta blues.

Having collaborated in other settings for over a decade, the trio brings a deeply personal and highly developed sense of song, form and sound to their explorations of this rich American art form. Ethereal texture, pure melody and gritty pulse converge to form a world steeped in the blues and wide open to possibility.

As internationally acclaimed artists Ted Poor, Pete Rende and Cuong Vu have performed and recorded with many of the most important voices in music today, including: Pat Metheny, David Bowie, Bill Frisell, Laurie Andersen, Ben Monder, Rebecca Martin and Kurt Rosenwinkel.

New West has been making its mark as a fresh, cutting-edge guitar ensemble. Performing popular covers and original music, New West combines acoustic and electric guitars to create their signature sound. Based in Los Angeles and New York, NW tours extensively throughout the US giving concerts and master classes.

Praised as “sharp and refined” by the Seattle Times, New West Guitar Group infuses its latest disc "Big City" with its signature blend of laid-back virtuosity and expert arrangements that “sometimes verge on the orchestral” (All Music Guide).

Firmly rooted in classic jazz, the trio’s versatility as both players and composers has given them a reputation as pioneers in the realm of guitar ensemble repertoire. Acoustic Guitar Magazine has praised the group for its ability to shift seamlessly “from chamber-like elegance and fragile introspection to exhilarating swing and gritty blues.”

Pianist Marco Benevento has been amassing an extensive resume of composition and collaboration. His studio albums have set forth a vision that connects the dots between Explosions In The Sky and Tortoise on one side, Brian Eno and Brad Mehldau on the other. In the live setting, his performances reverberate with pulsating dance rock energy.

The 35-year old artist took a major step forward with the release of his most recent album, TigerFace.Recorded & mixed by Tom Biller (Silversun Pickups) and Bryce Goggin (Pavement), TigerFace features a stellar cast of musicians recruited to help capture his ideas, including drummers Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam), John McEntire (The Sea & The Cake) and Andrew Barr (The Barr Brothers), bassists Dave Dreiwitz (Ween) and Mike Gordon (Phish) and saxophonist Stuart Bogie (Antibalas, Superhuman Happiness).

Created by Kat Koppett in association with Freestyle Repertory Theatre in New York, Spontaneous Broadway is a virtouso evening of musical improv.

The audience submits titles of "songs that have never been written". In a fictional "backer's audition", these titles inspire improvised songs in act one. In act two, the audience's favorite song serves as the basis of an entire (45 minute) Broadway musical, complete with costumes and set.

The format received a rave review from The New York Times when it premiered in New York in 1995. You ain’t seen nuttin’ like it, folks!

Chris Brown
Singer-Songwriter
BeanRunner Cafe
201 S. Division Street @ Esther
Peekskill, NY   See Map
With his distinct bass tone, Christopher Brown has pleased audiences for more than two decades with his repertoire of musical stories. Chris' special view of the world is portrayed honestly and humorously through his innovative, story-telling lyric, enlivened by a unique blend of folk, country and rock & roll. A reviewer recently wrote, "his sound might best be described as James Taylor meets Johnny Cash."

Chris calls his new album "Characterist". That's because he is not only a singer/songwriter, but an artist/illustrator who can capture a subject's essence through caricature. With a few strokes, he reveals hints of a character's nature or temperament, their mystery or charm. He does the same thing with lyric and melody, outlining and shading characters and moments, even yearnings and states of mind. His deep rumble of a voice can be as direct as an approaching train, yet warm and forgiving.

Chris will be joined by master guitarist and composer Peter Calo.

The Warp/The Weft
Alternative, Folk/Traditional, and Rock (progressive)
Main Street Public House
12 Main St
Philmont, NY   See Map
From 12/2013 Chronogram:

The Warp/The Weft offers trippy freak folk that posits a world where Henry Cow is spoken of in the same hushed tones as the Beatles.

But its esoteric [Brit-inflected] oddness is also its beauty. Murphy's perfect Middle Earth burr, whether it's born of an imaginary Shropshire landscape or not, lilts along like a drug, a draught, or a potion. The band, which occasionally rocks, and just as often shimmers is as deep into the mystery as its leader.

12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
You will not believe this band.

Really.

Truly.

Trust us.

Join us tonight for a tribute to "The Piano Man"... the one and only Billy Joel. "Songs in the Attic" was conceived by Long Island veteran singer/piano player David Clark. David put the band together in 2011, with a tremendous amount of detail and affection for the material. David's stunningly accurate piano playing and lead vocals--combined with a dynamic and high-energy band--has been astounding audiences ever since.

Billy Joel has had 33 Top 40 hits spanning 3 decades, all written by the man himself. He has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Long Island Music Hall of Fame and the Hit Parade Hall of Fame. David Clark is as close to the real deal as you'll ever see. It's like having front row seats at Madison Square Garden. If you're a Joel fan, do not miss this night!!

The Saints of Swing are an extraordinary collective of some of the tri-state area's finest musicians with an eclectic, electric groove of foot-tappin' Swing classics - from Dixieland, elegant NYC sizzlers, Motown, R&B, Ballroom, Gospel, Latin, & Klezmer! Led by David Winograd on tuba/bass and Mike Rosler on trumpet, and featuring sultry vocalist Marty Elkins. The ensemble includes Dale Demarco on sax/clarinet, Ken Foy, trombone, Mike Kull, piano, and Gene Randolph, drums.

Marty Elkins is a force to be reckoned with as she weaves her way in and out of up tempo songs, ballads, bossa novas, and swing tunes. Marty is equally comfortable with a swinging seven piece band as she is with an intimate trio. Ron Della Ciesa, of WGBH/Boston says of her latest release, “Marty reminds me of some of the classic big band singers like Rosemary Clooney and Anita O’Day.” “She’s a staunch traditionalist who polishes songs, then wears ’em proudly,” states Jeff Levinson from Hot House Jazz Magazine.

The members of the Peekskill-based band UNI, hail from the islands and blend the Bob Marley style with the more modern dance hall sound.

Dar Chi, the groups bass player says that "Reggae is the indigenous music. When you come here you don't want to leave your vernacular or colloquial sayings at home; that's prevalent in the music. A lot of our songs are social and reflect what's happening in the community. Some of us are Rastafarians, so there are some radical political connotations."
