Beatles Tribute
with The NEW Twist & Shout!, Evan & Lesley
Bodles Opera House
39 Main Street
Chester, NY   See Map
From the moment they arrived in the U.S. in 1964, The Beatles changed popular music forever. The music of The Beatles has remained modern and timeless for generation after generation.

Twist & Shout is the most exciting and powerful Beatles Tribute band to hit the states in years. The members of Twist & Shout have recorded a half-dozen albums since the mid-'70s and have performed with top-name artists for thousands of fans nationwide.

Twist & Shout instantly captures audiences with a driving sound and remarkably contemporary stage presence that delivers an incredibly authentic and memorable concert. Many critics say they best represent "what The Beatles would sound like live in concert today."

Craig, Eddie, Roger and Wayne have added guitarist/vocalist Evan Teatum (a popular entertainer throughout the region) to the band as they perform a new, re-energized Tribute to The Beatles. This marks the start of the band’s 12th year…the music and magic of The Beatles rocks-on as only Twist & Show can play it!

Evan and his vocalist partner Lesley Bowe will be opening the evening with a set of their signature duets.

This night’s always a sellout so reserve your tickets now!

Doors open at 6:30 pm

Pete Levin and Charles Lyonhart & Junkyard Angels co-headline the "Ron Osenenko Memorial Benefit Concert." The concert, hosted by the Woodstock Music Shop, will raise funds for the John Herald Fund, which is operated by Family of Woodstock, Inc. The fund was created to help people navigate through one-time unexpected financial challenges.

Ron Osenenko ran the Woodstock Music Shop for almost five years, before passing away last December. He established a reputation for his generosity and big heart, helping musicians through difficult times, which is why his friends and family chose this fund.

Keyboard player/arranger Pete Levin will be joined by guitarist Mike DeMicco, saxophonist Erik Lawrence and others. And Lyonhart and his band, including Chris Zaloom, George Quinn and Dennis Cotton, will close the evening.

A $15 donation will be taken at the door. Light food will be served early and a silent auction of instruments and other items is planned. For more, call 845-679-3224.

Merryall Center For the Arts
New Milford, CT   See Map
Don't miss this rare appearance by the Hudson Valley's seminal progressive Bluegrass Band, "Out to Lunch"!!

Based in the New York metropolitan area, Out To Lunch was "founded" in 1980 ... at first as a loose collection of friends coming together for an occasional "open mike" night. They soon began to "get serious" and refine their sound as they sensed they had something special to offer with shows that had broad appeal to audiences. Over TWENTY-FIVE YEARS later Out To Lunch is still delighting audiences with a sound uniquely their own that combines the very best of musical warmth and sharpness.

The Merryall Center For the Arts is a truly wonderful place to hear live music and "Out to Lunch" has had many memorable evenings and lots of good times there. Please come and join us for what promises to be a very special, fun filled evening!!

"Out of the hundreds of albums being released onto the country music market it is not very often that one stands out as being totally different, one such album is Mechanical Bull. Chase Pierson is a genius... you will not have heard anything so original for a long, long time!" -John Morris (British Radio)

"On Dreaming Days, Avalon Peacock rips the heart out of the song and snaps your soul with its beauty. It alone would cement her place at the top table of torch song singers, male or female. Then along comes Chase Pierson grabbing the country rock of Debts by the scruff of the neck, shaking and playing it in the same way a cat does a mouse." -Michael Mee (Americana USA)

"I'm reminded more of Fleetwood Mac in the way Chase Pierson and Avalon Peacock (the daughter of composer Annette Peacock) harmonize. They've got a Lindsay Buckingham/Christine McVie thing going on, except Pierson sounds more like Steve Earle than Buckingham." -Kathy Fennessy

Artist Information

Biography Compton Maddux has been recognized by CMT, NSAI, Gary Allen, Deena Miller & Glenn O'Brien for his country rock singing & songwriting.

Out of over 4,000 NSAI entries Compton's soon to be hit song "Black Violin" placed in the top 15 and was a 2008 CMT NSAI Listener's Choice Finalist.

"Black Violin" was also selected by Gary Allen (JJ Cale/Charlie Daniels Band) as the winner of the Tennessee Concerts April 2008 Song of the Month Contest. Gary's comment was "Man, you win hands down - Simply the best song and best submission. The submitters were tough...one of the best came from the next street over from me, and she is great, but you won fair and square." Compton was hand-picked by Deena Miller (Daughter of Jimmy/Rolling Stones Producer) to kick off the "R U Man ENUFF" portion of her acclaimed Chick Singer Night. He will be the first man ever to perform in this new series. It will debut at The Bitter End in NYC on Apr 29.
