BeanRunner Cafe

Peekskill, NY   See Map
A potent shot of heart felt, soulful rock, packed with provocative lyrics that harken back the ethos of the sixties, unafraid to question and determined to seek answers.

Nenad Bach has a dream, nurtured through wartime and expatriation, and informed by his quest for universal justice and deep longing for world peace. The result: All I Want Is Freedom, a passionate cri de coeur and the latest CD in the artist’s prolific body of work.

Solidly backed by the four like-minded musicians-Joe DeSanctis, Richard Lindsey, Michael O’Keefe, and Al Orlo-the Nenad Bach Band’s recent album was brilliantly recorded and mixed by five-time Grammy Award winner John Holbrook.

Nenad has performed all over the world with artists, including Pavarotti; Bono and The Edge; Brian Eno, Indigo Girls; Richie Havens; Garth Hudson and Rick Danko; Vince Welnick; and many more.

WORKSHOP- Healing Thru the Voice:Becoming an Instrument of Joy & Peace
with Danielle Woerner, and you!
To reserve: sagecenter@earthlink.net / 845-679-5650
Sage Center for the Healing Arts
6 Deming Street, off Mill Hill Road (Rt 212)
Woodstock, NY   See Map
It could be said that to free our voices is to contribute to peace in the world. When we sing & speak, the vibrations we create travel through our own bodies & energetic fields, creating harmony or disharmony.They travel outward--perhaps forever--doing the same.The more relaxed & open our voices are, the more freely we vibrate, like tuning forks, to higher, more harmonious frequencies. AND the more fun & confidence we have!

Singing can feel as natural as breathing, but many of us experience our voices as blocked, weak, or somehow not reflecting who we really are. Sometimes that even creates an inner dissonance: it can be hard to love an instrument that "identifies" us to our world, yet doesn't seem to reflect our deepest nature or intention.

In this workshop we’ll use simple voice & breathing exercises, toning & singing to free our voices. Each person's contribution will help everyone else in the circle. For speakers & singers of all levels & experience. Shy ones welcome!
$20 at door. Please reserve your place! (Above)

Rosendale Cafe
434 Main Street
Rosendale, NY   See Map
I love the Rosendale Cafe; they present world-class musicians and it's one of the few places I can go where I can order most anything they have on their menu!

What this is. Lifted from their site: "The Rosendale Cafe has been bringing notable performances to the area for 16 years. This more humble opportunity for local performances started with a very successful run of the Community Music Night, and the series has run on and off since fall 2007.

"The showcase has been a performance opportunity for both newly-established artists, and those that were outside the musical style of the Cafe's usual weekend bookings."

Underground at Proctors

MOPCO brings its unique brand of improv to Proctors -- Friday nights at 8:00pm.

Created by Kat Koppett in association with Freestyle Repertory Theatre in New York, Spontaneous Broadway is a virtouso evening of musical improv.

The audience submits titles of "songs that have never been written". In a fictional "backer's audition", these titles inspire improvised songs in act one. In act two, the audience's favorite song serves as the basis of an entire (45 minute) Broadway musical, complete with costumes and set.

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!
