The historic Niverville Pub is fast approaching its 150th anniversary, and if you’ve ever been there, its longevity comes as no surprise. With a friendly atmosphere and staff, cold drinks ever-present, and a real cast of characters (Pub Scouts!), the Niverville Pub is once again finding itself as THE place to be for a good time and live music!

And what’s a good Christmas party without live music? Music and entertainment will be performed by the Olde News Band, another Columbia County favorite! Renowned for their diverse selection of Classic Rock (try as you might you won’t find a more varied setlist!), top-quality musicianship, and celebrated crowd interaction, it’s not surprising that ONB is considered one of the best in the area!

“Saw the most excellent Five Points Band in Woodstock tonight. I’ll sum it up. Most bands try to be what these guys are without trying! The real deal. One of my absolutely favorite bands.” -Popa Chubby

“Imagine if Tom Waits, Johnny Cash and Robert Johnson were doing shots of moonshine in a some backwater shack in the bayou writing songs and playing music for weeks on end – that is The Five Points Band” -rocketChips last.fm

“…epic punkabilly slide guitar – like a combo of Tom Waits, Velvet Underground, and the Stones.” -Roll Magazine

Singer Christine Dominguez co-authored this year's Grammy nominated hit song "Airplanes" by B.o.B and is collaborating with artists and producers in the Hip Hop/Urban community where her distinct and soulful vocals are in demand. T. Xiques started gigging as a drummer at age 15 and tours across the US, Canada, Europe and Malaysia with artists like Savoy Brown, Dr.Know and Daryl Jenifer (Bad Brains), Colin Hay and Brother, among others.

They call their sound "Organic Pop", a sound they created with their soulful vocals and an assortment of instruments, from piano and acoustic guitar to 5-string bass and cajon drum. We're really looking forward to the return of WeMustBe.

Peekskill, NY   See Map
"The highlight September performance in Paris was tenor saxophonist Ray Blue. This former member of Sun Ra's Arkestra and student of Ornette Coleman set the Caveau des Oubliettes on fire...His music was fresh and captured the mind without straying away too long from the strongest groove." Downbeat Magazine

Ray's newest CD, "Berries and Blues" serves you the fruits of his music-a story is told by merging jazz, blues and African folk rhythms. The players chosen for this project are brilliant musicians who came together on the gig in Paris, with a chemistry and sound that was nothing less than exceptional.

Ray has preformed with Steve Turre, Eddie Henderson, Gary Bartz, T.K. Blue, Bob Gaddy, Wycliff Gordon and Benny Powell. He plays with The Spirit of Life Ensemble and tours with The Ray Charles Show.

The Ray Blue Sound is at once big and warm, dynamic and romantic, nostalgic and modern. It's "Blue Jazz".
