Bassist & composer Iris Ornig is one of the most original female voices on today's New York jazz scene. Since her arrival in New York City in 2003 from Germany, she has played with an impressive roster of some of the City's most influential contemporary jazz musicians.

Iris Ornig was a huge fan of Michael—and she still is! He was a master of his style, and a supremely creative dance innovator. Iris created arrangements of Michael’s hit songs, honoring his creative spirit through jazz - twisting tunes, shifting rhythms, exploding arrangements and exploring new harmonies.

Iris's latest CD, “No Restrictions”, has earned extremely positive reviews from Downbeat (one of the Best Albums 2013), Jazziz, All About Jazz, and The New York City Jazz Record, to name a few.

“…’No Restrictions’ is a mature, distinctive and captivating disc. It’s the elegant work of an exceptional artist at the height of her powers.” –Jazziz (Hryar Attarian).

Tom Freund - The LA Troubadour Returns!, Kevin Bents, Doug Weiss, Konrad MeissnerThe Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
It’s the effortless ease with which he delivers conversational lyrics and mellifluous melodies a natural magic that is the heart of Tom Freund’s music. Though he’s well-schooled and widely-traveled in a variety of genres, Freund is ultimately, a singer-songwriter with his own singularly distinctive and engaging voice.

Freund's latest disc "Two Moons" on Surf Road Records, finds the Los Angeles-based Freund in a contemplative yet confident mood, where swirls of nostalgia blend with sharp-eyed views of life today. With his new album, Freund draws on folk, rock, jazz and other roots sources for an urbane Americana sound. Blending woozy mariachi horns and mermaid-evoking backing vocals in and a blast of electric guitar. Inspired by a lot of old Squeeze music, Freund also mixed trippy keyboards and old-school synths to flesh out tracks like “Me and Bernice and “Lemme Be Who I Wanna Be.”

Jay Collins & The Kings County Band
Funk, Blues, and Jazz
The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
"In an era where most have learned to play music in a school, Mr. Collins is one of those increasingly rare musicians who learned to play, on the bandstand."

Together with his Kings County Band, Jay Collins uses the sounds of Memphis Soul, New Orleans Funk, Delta Blues, and classic Rock and Roll to make an original, funky stew, with some horn sprinkled on the top!

Jay's saxophone, flute, and horn-section arrangements have supported the sounds of Gregg Allman, Allman Brothers Band, Levon Helm (of The Band), Donald Fagen’s Dukes of September (w/ Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs), James Hunter, Ray LaMontagne, Latin percussionist Bobby Sanabria, and jazz greats, composer Andrew Hill, French pianist Jacky Terrasson, guitarist Ed Cherry, and legendary bassist LeRoy Vinnegar, among others.

After years of “moon-lighting” as a singer-songwriter, the secret is out - Jay Collins’ 'granite pipes’, gritty vocal style, and blues-influenced song-writing, are winning admirers everywhere!

The Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio
Americana, Jazz, and Blues
Empire State Railway Museum
70 Lower High State
Phoenicia, NY   See Map
The music of Heather Pierson is immune to genrefication. In one three month span she was lauded in the press as a neoclassical pianist & billed as leader of a jazz quartet, but on Sonic Bids you’ll find her under “Solo” “Folk” and “Acoustic”. The Heather Pierson Acoustic Trio formed in 2014, & they released their first album (Heather’s ninth) this May. The title cut is the number two single on the June Folk DJ Chart (the most recent month tallied) while “Still She Will Fly” claimed number 8 on the CD chart.

“Heather is like two great acts in one, sliding from sweet acoustic Appalachian old-timey vibe with Patty Griffinesque lyrics to brassy New Orleans blues piano with a bone thrown to Bessie Smith.” – Lone Star Music Magazine.

The concert will be held inside the intimate acoustically exquisite old Phoenicia Railway Station with seating for 50 only. Tickets are $15 or $13 with RSVP to flyingcatmusic@gmail.com. or call 845-688-9453

World-class Southern Rock
with The SUNDOWN Band
Southern Rock
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
The SUNDOWN Band has been performing their brand of Southern Rock since 1976. Every time the band's been reviewed, the response is the same: "You will be hard pressed to find another band that performs with the talent, passion, and intensity that these guys bring to the stage every night." (WPDH 101.5 FM).

SUNDOWN's played all the legendary Westchester clubs like the Fore 'n Aft, Bottom's Up and The Beachmont, as well as NYC clubs like Lone Star Cafe. Many of the band's life-long fans now bring their teenage kids to experience the band's classic style; unique renditions of Southern Rock classics from bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Molly Hatchet & more. The highlight of their shows are the duel guitar talents of Ronnie Pauls and Steve Mitchell, which leaves audiences in awe. We can't wait.

**$10 Entertainment Fee or $5 with dinner entree**

Entertainment Fee goes directly to the band. Thank you for supporting live music.
