LBK is way more fun than singing to a pre-recorded track.
We have over 150 songs on our list, including '70s, '80s, '90s and contemporary pop/rock/soul. The list will be posted on the 12 Grapes Facebook page each month, so check it out.

 Ladies Day is dedicated to discovering and performing the compositions of classic and contemporary jazz women. After an Aha! Moment, when vocalist MJ Territo realized that so many of the little-known tunes she loved to sing were written by women, she began to think about putting a set of the tunes together and playing them with other women musicians. When she met pianist Linda Presgrave, another collector and performer of compositions by women, she put the project in motion. Since 2011 the ensemble has performed in venues in and around New York City. A sampling of their repertoire includes music by jazz masters Mary Lou Williams, Abbey Lincoln, Marian McPartland, and Peggy Lee; works by contemporary songwriters such as Meredith D'Ambrosio and Nellie McKay; and original compositions and collaborations by the band's members.
$10 admission.

Rob performs with many of the Hudson Valley's finest musicians, and is head of Drummers Collective School of Music in New York City. Mishti's music has been described as "coasting between a bottom-heavy Zeppelin Rock, Blues-infused grooves, Thelonius Monk-inspired guitar work, and a Nina Simone-style wail-to-whisper." Rounding out the band is Candullo and Nolan... an absolute killer rhythm section!
The band will be performing Blues-infused Rock from Michael Jackson to Pearl Jam and everything in between.

It provides both imaginative stimulus and exposure for the arts community and offers the public a casual, but spirited introduction to art outside the staid venues of gallery and museum.
Derby participants design a non-motorized kinetic sculpture capable of "rolling" down lower Broadway in Kingston, NY's Rondout Historic District. Community artists conduct Art Car design workshops for local youth, an annual poster features a regional artist, and thousands of dollars in prizes are given away. Celebrating 19 years in 2014, t he Artist Soap Box Derby has garnered national and region-wide attention in the New York Times, Business Week, other major publications, broadcast media and online, drawing more than 8,000 visitors to Kingston for a Derby weekend.

John Tracy’s music is for real people living real life. It is born of a desire to be transparent and share his experiences in life through his lyrics. Spending hours since the age of sixteen perfecting his skill on the acoustic guitar, studying songwriting from some of the industry’s best and pouring his expertise as a lyricist into each word, he has crafted songs that have a resounding impact.
Says Jeff Curtis, Executive Director of The Orange Downtown Alliance: “John’s genius of delivering lyrical melodies of all things that we experience as humans may only be surpassed by his mastery of the guitar. He will tell you that he loves writing songs but his music tells you that he loves the human connection.”
