"Pulling from the greatest corners of American music....their music is as organic as it is good for you....there’s so much going on instrumentally that when the harmonious lead vocalists chime in the result is nothing short of a homegrown hurricane of sound." - Otis Mountain Get Down Review

“...they dare us to imagine the Andrew Sisters fronting a band that swings with the dizzying drive of gypsy jazz guitar legend Django Reinhardt.... they spin harmonies inspired by the Staples Singers and instrumentation influenced by The Punch Brothers." - John Barry/Poughkeepsie Journal

“A REMEDY is a classic case of Youth-Meets-Experience....very successfully executed. These young folks are talent to be reckoned with in the future.” - Jason Miles/Producer

After several years putting the Funk Junkies together with some of New York's best musical talent, we can assure you they are specialists. This 14 piece band with a 5 piece horn section lays down the funk! Check them out to cure what ails you!

Their performance at the Falcon will be both a celebration of the release of their latest LP “Only a Disaster”, and a loving send-off to their musical brother, founding member John Kaiteris (guitarist, songwriter), who leaves New York for new adventures out West.

The departure of Kaiteris along with the other members’ shifting focus on other projects lends a “Last Waltz” air to the event. It will be a special night; a soulful, heartfelt celebration of music and family that is not to be missed!

Kingston Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild
Unitarian Fellowship, 320 Sawkill Rd.
Kingston, NY   See Map
In pop music, stealth and restraint often go unheralded, yet these qualities are every bit as important as flash and dazzle; subtlety, in the right hands, can pack as much punch as obviousness. Husband-and-wife duo Michele and Rick Gedney, aka Open Book, know all of this, and their third CD, Grateful, exemplifies the low-key power of haunting melody buttressed with expansive harmony.

"Open Book is a folk-rock duo, yes, but the big advantage of having two co-leaders in harmony and agreement rests on the spectrum of influence and experience each brings to the table...songcraft and soul-filling vocals of sterling quality..." - Thomas Staudter, The Gazette/The New York Times.

The open mic portion of the evening is a great opportunity for newcomers and seasoned performers to share their music with a welcoming, appreciative audience. All styles of music or spoken word, folk and beyond, piano available.

The Hudson Valley Bluegrass Boys is a brand new bluegrass group with seasoned musicians with decades of musical experience behind them.

The Hudson Valley Bluegrass Boys group was inspired by its founder Jim Romine, whose Alabama roots are deep in Southern Bluegrass music. He wanted to form a group that carried on the tradition of pure bluegrass, focusing on celebrating the music of Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe, The Dillards, and Doc Watson. In addition to Jim playing rhythm guitar and singing lead, other founding members include Thomas Earl on five string banjo, guitar, and singing baritone; Doctor Romo on mandolin, fiddle and tenor vocals; and Mike Aiese, on stand up bass and singing bass vocals. The result is incredible four part harmonies and some real foot stompin' bluegrass instruments.

When Liberty DeVitto, Richie Cannata and Russell Javors were inducted into the Long Island Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, they needed a singer / piano player to perform the part of BJ. In stepped David Clark. And he wowed both the band and the audience. David has been playing with their band, The Lords of 52nd Street, ever since.

“Songs In The Attic” is a musical tribute conceived and presented by David Clark, a Long Island veteran singer/piano player. Formed in 2011, the band performs in front of thousands of people at notable concert halls & festivals such as the WBAB-sponsored Jones Beach Boardwalk concert series, the Nesconset Gazebo summer concert series, BB King and the Highline Ballroom in NYC and countless others. David Clark continues to gain notoriety with his stunningly accurate piano playing and lead vocals, combined with dynamic and high-energy band performances.

Mark Dziuba (Guitar) Mark brings a jazz sensibility to blues and roots music honoring the traditions while expanding the vocabulary. “…an endless font of lyricism and creativity”.
