with The Callen Sisters, Abby Payne, and Cassandra Frake
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic | 12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY See Map |
 One of the nicest things about the Holidays is listening to beautiful music. This will be one of those nights. A duo and two solo acoustic artists will take their turns on our stage and treat us to their unique styles and talents.
The Callen Sisters write and sing from the heart; their lyrics speak of love, life, loss and the temporal nature of relationships. The harp lends a soothing, ethereal beauty to their original sound. Abby Payne is a singer/songwriter who is enchanted by words and their relationship to music. Her songs are insightful and poetic, yet they possess a hard edge that rocks. Cassandra Frake has "a voice like Jewel with a touch of Jazz". Cassandra's songwriting is creative, touching and refreshingly original.
Join us for this very special Singer/Songwriter Sunday. Free Admission. |
