When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse.

Chris Pureka with The Harmaleighs, Haley Grant, Kaylee JaspersonThe Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Portland-based singer-songwriter Chris Pureka's body of work has resonated deeply with seemingly disparate milieus. Her bold vulnerability in processing the intimacies of her life in song has long appealed to listeners who crave authenticity.

She’s shared the stage with artists such as Dar Williams, The Lumineers, The Cowboy Junkies, Gregory Alan Isakov, Martin Sexton, and Ani DiFranco.

The Harmaleighs (pronunciation: the har-muh- lees) honestly craft poetic, passionate, and powerful songs cut from a pastiche of indie, folk, pop and Americana. In 2015, the band - Haley Grant [lead vocals, guitar] and Kaylee Jasperson [bass, harmonies]—embarked on a modern odyssey in support of their independent full-length debut, "Pretty Picture, Dirty Brush".

The band-mates and partners hit the road with their 8-month-old pug Gus sleeping on the dashboard for the next nine months. The trials, tribulations, and triumphs of this trek would ultimately inspire their upcoming EP, "Hiraeth".

Messenger of Holiday Love, Slam Allen, invites the world to swing in and celebrate the season!

Slam captures you with a voice that echoes Otis Redding, a guitar that immerses you in B. B. King and stage energy reminiscent of James Brown, while captivating you with his original music!

Slam Allen is more than a singer, songwriter, and guitar player. He has connected with his audiences like the entertainers of a bygone era - Otis Redding, B.B., Albert, and Freddie King, with some Wilson Picket, James Brown, Sly Stone and a little George Benson and Jimi Hendrix thrown in to the experience.

With seven original albums under his belt, he brings back what the music world needs - the love and uplifting honesty that makes for a powerful and entertaining experience.

Recently reunited with a smoldering set in Williamsburg, Sarah and Chevonne are thrilled to bring their collective bands to Peekskill. All of Sarah's bandmates have played with Chevonne & The Fuzz extensively, promising for a giant 12 Grapes jam!

Sarah Wise is an Americana/Roots/Rock driven singer songwriter blending searing, searching lyrics with soaring, gritty vocals reminiscent of Patty Griffin and Lucinda Williams.

Chevonne & The Fuzz is a powerhouse rock band hailing from NJ. Combining the spirited, rough-and-tumble stage presence of No Doubt, the timeless rock grit and vocal power of Heart (Chevonne toured as backup vocalist for Lady Gaga & was a Season 3 contestant on The Voice) with the face-melting crunch of The Foo Fighters.

"With his trademark top hat, hair well past his shoulders, a long, lush beard, an Oklahoma drawl and his fingers splashing two-fisted barrelhouse piano chords, Mr. Russell cut a flamboyant figure in the early 1970s. He led Joe Cocker’s band Mad Dogs & Englishmen, appeared at George Harrison’s 1971 Concert for Bangladesh in New York City and had numerous hits of his own, including “Tight Rope.”Many of his songs became hits for others, among them “Superstar” (written with Bonnie Bramlett) for the Carpenters, “Delta Lady” for Mr. Cocker and “This Masquerade” for George Benson. More than 100 acts have recorded “A Song for You,” which Mr. Russell said he wrote in 10 minutes." - The New York Times
