9:00 pm | KELLY JOE PHELPS, with special guest JOSH STURM
Country Blues | Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY See Map |
 Kelly Joe Phelps plays acoustic country blues with achingly beautiful melancholy. Kelly Joe began playing with local jazz musicians at age 17, finding musical refuge in the sounds of Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Miles Davis, which explains the underpinning of emotion and creativity in his guitar arrangements. But in 1989 he put jazz aside and never looked back, concentrating on the sound of country blues. Blues Revue said "Kelly Joe occupies a musical landscape somewhere between Blind Willie Johnson's burnt-down house and Springsteen's Nebraska." Guitarists will be awestruck by his right-hand technique but all will be pleased by his easygoing but expressive vocals and the nonlinear approach to his lyrics and instrumental work. He's made many appearances on A Prairie Home Companion, and his performances have garnered praise from publications around the world. He also produced an instructional video on slide guitar for the renowned Homespun Tapes catalogue.

Combine that with the talent of an accomplished musician and you have a style that is unique and memorable. Dynamic and melodic with fresh originality, this is passionate, ear catching music

Spanning from the late 1950's into the new millennium, the Earls have continuously been pleasing audiences with their flawless harmonies, ceaseless vitality and endearing dedication to their fans. Larry Chance & the Earls represent the music that helped define Rock 'N' Roll, the original doo wop era that put the street corner- society onto the national charts. Larry and company have placed many songs on the charts, including: “Life Is But a Dream”, “Never”, “I Believe”, and of course the classic “Remember Then”. They still enjoy performing them, and always include the audience as a part of the show. The Performance will feature audience participation and comedy. Larry's comedy talents were featured on the Imus in the Morning show, where he performed, memorably, for a ten year period as the voice of characters, such as, Geraldo "Santana Banana", and the streetwise "Rainbow Johnson". / Opening the show: HOTFLASH

If you are looking for cover band that isn't necessarily playing all the hits, but instead, playing songs that they like, then this is the band to see. If you are looking for an original act that has passion and intensity, then this is the band to see. Combining covers and originals is what these guys do best. Covering such artists as Neil Young, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, The Samples, Tom Petty and many more, they give their own taste and feel to many of the songs you don't normally hear being played by local bands. Their originals are simple and follow in the rock'n'roll spirit of music. A four-piece act you don't want to miss.
