Saturday 9:00 pm	CHRIS TRAPPER of The Push Stars, with special guest ALLISON VELTZ Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic, and Rock (modern)	Towne Crier Cafe 130 Route 22 Pawling, NY   See Map
	Most widely known as the writer/front-man for the nationally acclaimed band The Push Stars, Chris Trapper's sincere, heartfelt songs with timeless melodies envelope and transport you like a good movie does. Maybe that's why they've been picked up for major motion picture soundtracks including There's Something About Mary and The Devil Wears Prada; and for tv shows such as ER and Malcolm in the Middle. His song themes range from deeply reflective to comedic fun, and back to romantic intimacy. This is a great chance to catch this captivating performer in an intimate setting!

Saturday 10:30 pm	OD's Presents the Best Jump Blues Band Anywhere! with The Slippery Chickens Blues	O'Donoghue's of Nyack 66 Main St. Nyack, NY   See Map
	They’re our only blues band... ‘cause they‘re so atypical of the genre! OD’s has tried hiring Chicago style bands, with “She done me wrong” lyrics and crying guitars, and, although we like that kind of music as well, there’s just something about the Chickens’ upbeat, stride sound that makes all the others fall away. The booming voice and upright slap bass of front man Jerry Scaringe, and the slightly nutty, sliding tempo guitar of Mike Olivieri are reasons the Chickens’ jump style is so appealing. Add the rambunctious, bang-bang drumwork of Richie Narigian, and you have the hippest, happiest blues music this side of a New Orleans wedding! OD's thanks HVM for listing this Slippery Chickens appearance. As always, there's no cover charge!
