Two extraordinarily talented Singer/Songwriters in one night! We're really looking forward to this...

One of the most versatile musicians around, Petey Hop is equally at home playing down home Blues, Folk, Country, Rockabilly as he is jamming out with blistering Rock and Roll. His original songs are powerfully written, musically intriguing and downright fun to listen to. Songs like "Mountain", "GI Blues" and our favorite, "Talk".

Mishti Roy has a voice that is unique, soulful and moving, and her guitar playing is just as incredible. If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing Mishti sing, you're missing out on one of the finest vocalists in the Hudson Valley. When she takes to the drums, she offers up another level of talent that will keep you riveted.

Petey and Mishti. It don't get much better than this.

The Brighton Beat
Jazz
BeanRunner Cafe
201 S. Division Street @ Esther
Peekskill, NY   See Map
The Brighton Beat was formed in 2010 out of a love for afrobeat, old and new. Although it's a new project, the musicians in The Brighton Beat have been playing music together for years. Realizing their common love for jazz and afrobeat, they decided to set forth on an adventurous path, writing their own interpretation of afrobeat-funk in today's modern world. The band takes influence from many styles; everything from Fela Kuti and Antibalas to John Coltrane, and Medeski, Martin, and Wood help spark the creativity of the group. In late 2010, they recorded their first self-titled EP, which has received rave reviews in the jazz-world. Their unique approach translates into an invigorating live performance, combining tight arrangements, fresh grooves, and a very jazz-influenced sound. The Brighton Beat is sure to be a fun, interactive, and memorable show.

Last weekend we took a sweet drive down Route 208 going south out of New Paltz. We watched a beautiful sunset over The Shawangunk Ridge and in about 15 minutes arrived at a cozy little roadhouse in Wallkill called Elsie's Place (Wallkill was the original home of Borden's Dairy, hence the name). Mirna our host could not have been nicer and that pulled pork was mighty tasty! They have a wood stove and a dance floor and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. (It reminded us of The Willow Creek Inn for those of you that go back that far.) We'd love to see you next weekend at this new (for us) venue and show some love to the club owners who make live music possible. We're planning on a great night: food, dancing and music.What more do you need?

IT'S ALL IN ONE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE PACKAGE. His spellbinding live show. His deliriously virtuosic singing. His accomplished guitar style. His outrageous, edgy humor. And the songwriting. The songwriting. Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when the buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston about an ex-jazz singer who was knocking 'em dead at open mikes. The word spread of this Philadelphia-area born and raised performer to New York; Shawn Colvin invited Vance Gilbert to be special guest on her Fat City tour. Gilbert took audiences across the country by storm. He has since released 6 celebrated albums. The latest, "Unfamiliar Moon" is Vance Gilbert at his most fearless, timeless, compelling best. Opening the evening will be Marc von Em. Marc, a soulfully energized singer/songwriter who’s sound is rooted in blues, folk, rock and reggae.

Rene Bailey uses her vocal clarity to sell the blues with true feeling. Mixing gospel, jazz, and rhythm/blues, she sang with Louis Armstrong, BB King, Aretha, Brubeck, Ruth Brown, Paul Anka, Sam Cooke, & many more… Rene Bailey started singing gospel as a kid in her Georgia church. Moving to NYC, she hit the scene where she sang blues & jazz. The transition from gospel to nightclub work came naturally, & Rene became the vocalist at Peg Leg Bates' Club for 20 years. In church it's called "shouting"-the gospel dance. "They get up and shout & shout." In a club when Rene Bailey sings and "it" hits, you yell, "Yes, indeed!"

A Tribute to The Police
with The Police Files
Rock (classic)
12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
The Police Files are an authentic recreation of the sound and energy of The Police; the most musically influential and commercially successful Rock band of the 1980's. Jim Keneally on bass, Ira Seigel on guitar, and Mike Marble on drums have applied their notable talents to what at first was an enjoyable experiment but has become an outright homage to The Police. Their musicianship has taken them to national and international stages... the orchestra pits of Broadway shows and recording studios with some of the industry's most well-known artists. For this project they have harnessed the particular skill sets needed to recapture those of Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland, whose last tour a few years ago grossed over $300 million in ticket sales alone. Come experience The Police Files and you'll remember why you, and millions of others, loved that unique, energetic, thoughtful sound of The Police.
