 Rebecca Martin has recorded a number of fine albums, most notably with jazz drummer Paul Motian. Ms. Martin accompanies herself on acoustic guitar and enlists top-flight musicians. Applying Motian's less-is-more ethic with her album "The Growing Season", created an enthusiastic response!
"...warm, unguarded voice, an instrument of modesty and forbearance..." - The New York Times
The album's success led to Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Album at the Independent Music Awards and to headlining shows at the Village Vanguard NYC, making Martin the first singer-songwriter to perform at the jazz club in more than 30 years.
Rebecca's subsequent recordings have been released to critical acclaim, as has her collaboration, Tillery, with singer/songwriters Gretchen Parlato and Becca Stevens.
Rebecca has been a big part of the evolution of the Falcon. It is always an honor to have her in the house. |

Sugar Loaf, NY See Map |
 Matisyahu has come a long way since 2005 when he released his breakout album, Live at Stubb¡¯s (which reached #1 on the Reggae Albums Chart and #30 on the Billboard 200). Since then he has pushed himself dynamically and creatively, breaking with expectation at every turn and remaking his musical image with nearly every album. And his latest¡ªAkeda (Uh-©\kay-©\duh)¡ªis no different in this regard.
Akeda is depth and naturalness; it is by far Matisyahu¡¯s most personal album, and the one over which he has had the most creative control. Quoting Matisyahu, ¡°Akeda is the kind of album an artist makes when there is no other creative choice but to turn oneself inside-©\out, to scrape the insides and reveal everything raw¡±

In a career spanning over twenty five years, Lee Finkelstein has built up a reputation as one of the funkiest and most versatile drummers in New York City. Lee currently tours the world with The Original Blues Brothers Band. |

 "Mr. Cohen isn't the average hippie gone Wall Street, he's also a certifiably smokin' barrel house rumba boogie-woogie piano player in the James Booker/Professor Longhair/Dr. John vein."
David Bennett Cohen has been a professional musician for more than 30 years. Best known for his innovative keyboard playing as an original member of the '60's rock band, Country Joe and the Fish, he is an equally accomplished guitar player who has been involved in numerous music scenes throughout his varied career.
David began his musical education at the age of seven, studying classical piano for seven years. While studying the piano, he began to teach himself the guitar, beginning at the age of nine. When he was 14, he heard boogie-woogie piano for the first time and was hooked. Since then, he has explored many different styles of Blues and popular music.
