Saturday 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm	Jon Fuller Acoustic	Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe 40 West Market Street Red Hook, NY   See Map
	On a recent trip to upstate New York, Jon Fuller paid his respects at Uncle Sam's grave. Though he did not have a life-changing experience there, the character he created in his song "Uncle Sam's Grave" did, seeing the burial place of that iconic man as a rallying cry for action. Jon's songs are rarely diary entries, but rather tall tales- there is most likely a grain of personal experience within them, but it may be hard to find. Looking back at a relationship one day, Jon turned that thought quickly into a song about finding a time machine in his front yard (and the subsequent adventures finding such a machine would bring). Finding inspiration from acts as diverse as Billy Joel, Kate Bush and System of a Down, Jon takes them all and, through his upbeat attitude and clear voice, makes them his own.

	KINGSTON, N.Y., April 26, 2010: Bluegrass music from Alaska may sound like a bit of a non sequitur, but Telluride Band Contest winner BEARFOOT is proving that the two aren't as unrelated as you might think. Bearfoot’s rise from über-talented music camp counselors to an established national touring band has been nothing short of meteoric. Their fresh approach to acoustic music features twin fiddles, fast-picking mandolin and guitar, upright bass, and beautiful harmony vocals. Whether performing their original Americana/bluegrass songs, freshly arranged traditionals, or covers of contemporary tunes, Bearfoot's exuberant stage presence elicits an appeal that bridges generations. “It bounces, it swings, it dives head-first into minor keys and unexpected (but totally workable) phrasings. In other words, it's very cool. -Bluegrass Unlimited Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door. St. John's Church is located at 207 Albany Avenue in Kingston, New York.

After a thirteen-year hiatus to 1) be dads, and 2) take a nap, BUSKIN & BATTEAU are back on the road again! They continue to offer their audiences "an irresistible amalgam of melodic, sensual pop, folkie grit and killer wit." -Washington Post. "...Versatile, sophisticated...by turns acerbic, funny and plaintive. Buskin and Batteau are breathing new life into the genre of the folk-pop singer/songwriter." - The NY Times More info at the Towne Crier Cafe
