Blues, Acoustic. Guitar
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Among guitarists & critics, Woody Mann is considered a modern master. While the blues are his touchstone, he seems to draw inspiration from every direction, blending a myriad influences with ease and grace. The pioneering finger-style legend John Fahey said it well: "You can hear classical, jazz and blues approaches somehow converging into a single sparkling sound -- a sound completely his own." Woody received his first musical schooling in the living room of Rev. Gary Davis, leaving an indelible influence on Davis' young student and friend. Woody complemented this tutelage with formal training at New York's celebrated Juilliard School. Since then, he has pursued a rich, diverse career, ranging from performing with jazz great Attila Zoller to teaching guitar to legendary recording artist Paul Simon. Mann has also been a faculty member at the New School in NYC; conducted master workshops throughout the world; founded International Guitar Seminars and Acoustic Sessions Inc; etc.

12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY   See Map
They say she "has a voice like Jewel with a touch of Jazz." Cassandrea Frake's songwriting is creative, touching and uniquely original. Her song, "Like the Breeze," is a folksy, jazzy, love-tribute. The love theme runs deep in her music and even inspired her to start playing guitar. In her interview on lohud.com's The Listening Room, Cassandra said she began writing music "...to impress somebody--one of the guys I had a crush on--but that guy fell through, and the music lasted." We're glad it did.

Tonight, Cassandra will be joined by a talented singer/songwriter duo, Haley Jane Rose and Jen Fischer. Haley is a drama major at UArts in Philly, and Jen a vocal major at Berklee in Boston. The two have been together since high school, and were discovered at one of our recent Open Mic nights. Their voices and harmonies are amazing... join us for another relaxing Sunday Singer/Songwriter Showcase.

Since Christopher Robin picked up the guitar, his musical roots have included personal lessons from artists like Michael Hedges and Gregg Allman – yet his tone, chord structure, feel, searing solos and sense of melody remain truly his own. "All of my songs are true stories … They're about all the things I've done, from sailing on tall ships to being a cowboy in Colorado, to playing for Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses in Europe and the Hells Angels." Christopher Robin's live performances ~sharing the stage or recording with a long list of artists including Gregg Allman, Robert Cray, Lee Sklar, The Marshall Tucker Band, Del McCoury and Peter Yarrow~ have earned him a reputation as a high-energy crowd pleaser.

Based in the Woodstock/Kingston area and playing a unique blend of Roots Rock, Soul and Funk, McGroovin’ is a great new band. They came together in early 2010 when Mike O’Leary – lead vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist – was working on a solo album. He brought in Steve Mulvaney – whom he had already been playing with in the smooth jazz band ds168 – on lead acoustic and electric guitars and Mike Colletti – with whom he’d played a number of dates as a duet for several years – on bass. The varied artistic leanings of the musicians which ran the range from jazz to blues to folk to funk came together to produce a rich and versatile sound.

JOHN NÉMETH Blues Band
Blues
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
John Németh is a rising blues star: a singer steeped in the tradition, reminiscent of B.B. King, Ray Charles and Junior Parker; and a harmonica player of riveting intensity & virtuosity that has earned him the honor of opening for Robert Cray, Keb Mo' and Earl Thomas. Németh was also a featured artist with Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets, as well as the Junior Watson Band. John's uncanny blend of retro-modern blues and soul music will delight purists and young hipsters alike. Bob Margolin wrote in Blues Revue Magazine, "I remember telling friends in 1980 that they should go see Stevie Ray Vaughan, but they weren't impressed because he wasn't famous yet. It will give me great pleasure to say 'I told you so!' about John Németh. You'll see ... John Németh is a natural-born Bluesman, and he proves it with every note he sings, shaping each one with emotion, taste and inspiration."; "Boy! John Németh can really belt it out!" -Charlie Musslewhite
