Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
BeanRunner Cafe
201 S. Division Street @ Esther
Peekskill, NY   See Map
A quirky blend of personalities and musical influences, the Ya Yas toured 3 years with Dave Isaacs' country-roots band Jackalope Junction, and now call the Hudson Valley their home, where they are hard at work on their second album.

Seeing these three perform is like spending an evening with them in their living room - inviting, entertaining, and a little goofy. Their songs can range in feel from folk-pop to country-tinged to singer-songwriter-with-groove. What remains constant are well-crafted songs with deceptively simple lyrics about people you feel you might know, people who view themselves and the world with both honesty and compassion.

Oliver, a fellow Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Finalist, is an active contributor to the acoustic and Americana music scene in the Baltimore-DC area, and the host of WLOY radio’s “The Mobtown Couch” since 2005.

Admission $7.

The format received a rave review from The New York Times when it premiered in New York in 1995. You ain’t seen nuttin’ like it, folks!

Henry Purcell's "King Arthur"
with Kairos: A Consort of Singers
Classical/Opera
Christ Episcopal Church
20 Carroll Street
Poughkeepsie, NY   See Map
Kairos: A Consort of Singers, under the direction of Edward Lundergan, presents a concert version of English Baroque composer Henry Purcell's 1691 semi-opera King Arthur, with full orchestra. This whimsical tale centers around Arthur's endeavors to rescue his fiancée, the blind Cornish princess Emmeline, who has been abducted by his arch-enemy, the Saxon king Oswald of Kent. It is a delightful and humorous work, and contains some of Purcell's most lyrical music, much of it inspired by French dance rhythms and adventurous (for the day) harmonies.

As was common in English semi-opera during the Baroque era, there were spoken as well as sung parts, and the performance will also feature a delightful narration of the story by professional actor and singer David Rodriguez.

The concert will also be performed on Sunday, November 6 at 4PM at Holy Cross Monastery, Route 9W, West Park, NY.

Consummate musicians and storytellers, Kim and Reggie Harris combine a strong folk and gospel legacy with a solid background in classical, rock, jazz and pop music.

Creative curiosity, years of road and stage experience with performers such as Pete Seeger, Ysaye Barnwell, Jay Leno, Tom Paxton, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Harry Belafonte and others, has led them to produce music that entertains and inspires.

Audiences at venues such as The Kennedy Center, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Smithsonian Institute, the Reunion Arena in Texas, the Psalm Festival in Graz, Austria—along with numerous theatre arts centers, festivals, universities and schools—have given this inspiring duo standing ovations.

Their CDs "Steal Away" and "Get On Board" and their work with the Kennedy Center, Kim and Reggie have earned wide acclaim for their contributions to the resources and knowledge base on the Underground Railroad and modern civil rights movement.

Ryman's songs have received airplay on folk programs across the nation.

"After 18 years of listening to singer-songwriters in this business, I can tell when someone stands out. Barb Ryman is IT." Gorge Maida, WCVE Radio, Richmond VA
