Pete and Maura Kennedy, both East Coast natives, met in Austin, TX, joined forces with Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra, and set out on a road that, for two decades, has led them all over the US and the UK many times. This year, they celebrate their twentieth anniversary both as a band and a married couple. Rather than indulge in a nostalgic look backward, they’ve taken Dylan’s dictum “don’t look back” to heart; writing and recording 40 new songs. Since their last show with us, they each released solo CDs, and together, they released “West,” that seamlessly weaves their influences over the last two decades. The Kennedys are hitting a songwriting high point, and from that point they follow the well-worn American path West. Buy Tickets | ||

Sunday 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm | Sunday Evening with Sylvia Tyson & Scarlet Rivera, Sylvia Tyson, Scarlet Rivera | The FALCON 1348 Route 9W Marlboro, NY See Map |
Sylvia Tyson started performing professionally in 1959 as one-half of the internationally folk duo, Ian & Sylvia. She wrote her first song, “You Were on My Mind” in 1962.

The duo went their separate ways in 1977. Sylvia has continued to have a long and successful solo career. She has recorded 10 albums, written over 200 songs and has recorded and performed with three other well-known Canadian female singer-songwriters in a group called Quartette. "Miss Rivera shows herself to be one of the best women Jazz-Pop instrumentalists around, and quite simply one of the best violinists playing today.” – The New York Times "The album (Desire) is also notable for the work of violinist Scarlet Rivera. It's hard to imagine what the album would sound like without her playing…" - Rolling Stone | ||
Sunday 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm | Meryl Danziger Folk/Traditional | Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online: www.wtbq.com or 93.5FM, NY See Map |
How did a humble, banjo-playing Harvard dropout become one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century? “Sing It,” Meryl Danziger’s new biography of Pete Seeger, presents the life of the legendary folksinger through the lens of music as a tool for activism. What was it like to hop freight trains with Woody Guthrie, the composer of “This Land Is Your Land?” “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” a song beloved by people all over the world, might have been lost to history were it not for Pete Seeger. The Hudson River is cleaner than it used to be; what did Pete do to help that happen? Like Pete, Meryl was raised in a musical household where she was free to explore instruments and learn music on her own. As part of a long career sharing music with children, Meryl has written songs, poems, stories and plays designed to pass on the legacies of influential musicians. It was one of those plays, written in honor of Pete’s ninetieth birthday that led to the creation of her book. | ||
