Featuring: Willa Vincitore/Vocals, Chris Vitarello & Pete Hop/Guitar(s), Scott Milici/Keys, BJ Marchini/Drums, Doug Abramson/Bass, Ron Knittle/Bari Sax, Chris DiFrancesco/Tenor Sax, and Jim Osborne/Trumpet.

Singer/songwriter Willa Vincitore (formerly McCarthy) has been building a fan base across the Hudson Valley for nearly two decades. While her songwriting is an eclectic mix of blues, soul, rock, funk and pop, there’s one thing that ties it all together—that voice. Before launching her own band, she was an original member of the award-winning Chris O'Leary Band (O’Leary was a longtime member of the late Levon Helm’s Barn Burners band before launching his project). Willa’s long-awaited debut CD, Better Days, was released in January of 2017 and showcases both her songwriting skill and vocal range.

This is an album that should propel her to the attention of audiences far beyond the blues incubator that is the Hudson Valley.” - Nick Delay/WVKR's Big Blue Kitchen Show

Embroiled in a feud ignited by their own families, Romeo and Juliet find their world at odds between an unwavering devotion to each other and the pressure from others to pull them apart. This 90 –minute production also features a talkback with the actors. Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival’s ROMEO AND JULIET will be set in a New England prep school. The Montague’s and Capulet’s are elite families who have sent their children to this school for generations. While united by class, they are bitterly divided by tradition and ideology. There are rifts and tensions at the school involving wealthy students and scholarship students, parents and children, teachers and staff. The Nurse is Juliet’s nanny; the friars are faculty.

BernardThe FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Which musician did Aretha Franklin definitely NOT want missing from the line-up when she recorded her most inspired albums at the beginning of the seventies. Who provided the back-beat for Steely Dan's "Aja", and for whom have Isaac Hayes, Donny Hathaway, B.B. King, "Sweet" Lou Donaldson, Joe Cocker and Hank Crawford reserved that stool behind the drum kit?

The list is incomplete; it must be, because no other drummer in the last three decades has seen the interior of a recording studio as often as Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. A native of Elkton, Maryland has laid down the beat on over 3000 albums to date.

The legendary drummer's style is described as the "funkiest soul beat" in the business. Purdie has never limited his talents, but has consistently sought out new musical experiences, anchoring sessions with the Rolling Stones, James Brown and Tom Jones with equal ease. "DRIVE" and "GROOVE" are definitely not missing from his vocabulary.

Featuring: Jeremy Danneman/alto sax and clarinet. Brad Farberman/guitar, Joe Exley,/sousaphone and Mike Marcinowski/drums

Brad Farberman's ensemble, Middle Blue, is heard monthly at Troost, in Brooklyn, heating things up with its funk-jazz instrumentals. Powered by bass, drums, guitar, keyboards, and horns, the tunes are dream-like journeys, coming from the Medeski, Martin & Wood-Club d'Elf-Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey-end of the sound spectrum.

They've played a few gigs, and have recorded, with drummer, Mike Clark (Headhunters). Farberman has performed in ensembles led by Ras Moshe, William Parker, Rhys Chatham, and Jason Kao Hwang. His writing has appeared in outlets ranging from JazzTimes to the Village Voice, and is a former editor at Genius.

Powerful Roots Country and Blues

70 Lower High Street
Phoenicia, NY   See Map
Maverick Magazine calls Lynne Hanson, “Canadian country music at its best.” SiriusXM Canada says: “ Hanson's deep bluesy croon is pure and full of fortitude" and Roots Music Report writes: “A thread of quiet urgency runs through Lynne Hanson’s songs."

The Indie Acoustic Project named Lynne's last full length CD, River Of Sand, Best Alt Country CD of 2014. The Cambridge Times said of Hanson at that time, “She’s made the only roots rock record of the year to hold a candle to Rosanne Cash’s 'The River and the Thread'..."

Lynne Hanson has also drawn comparisons to Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams. Hanson's new CD, Uneven Ground, will be out commercially this April 7th.

The concert will be held inside the intimate and acoustically exquisite old Empire State Railway Museum with seating for under 50. Tickets are $12 or $10 w/RSVP to flyingcatmusic@gmail.or call 845-688-9453
