Two Legends, ACOUSTIC BLUES AT IT'S FINEST!! Don't miss it!

“Stefan Grossman has done just about everything one can do in the field of music. He has been..., a performer, a recording artist, a record company founder, a video producer,... a teacher, and a music historian. But it is his success in illuminating country blues, ragtime, and fingerstyle guitar techniques that has made him, in the words of Dave Van Ronk, ‘one of the most important people in fingerpicking guitar in the history of the phenomenon.’” – Acoustic Guitar

Steve Katz also studied guitar with Dave Van Ronk and the Reverend Gary Davis. Steve and Stefan were both part of the early 60s Greenwich Village Folk and Blues scene. Along with John Sebastian, Maria Muldaur, and David Grisman they formed the Even Dozen Jug Band. Steve then went on to The Blues Project, and of course he's best known as a founding member of Blood Sweat and Tears. Not to mention VP of Mercury Records!

Woodstock, NY   See Map
Featuring special guests, emceed by Kimberly Kay the Phantoms are Joe Veillette, Charlie Staxx, Brian Becker, Dorraine Scofield, Jasmine Veillette, Charlie Pistone and Jerry Mitnick. Acapella resists modern recording techniques. Click tracks, isolation booths, one-at-a-time overdubs all seem to dilute this style born of vocal groups imitating big band sounds with nothing but voices. Acapella thrives on the stoop, the subway station, and the tiled hallways of New York and Philadelphia. The Phantoms bring their twenty years of experience, and their keen ears to a style whose origins go back half a century. So kick back and discover Woodstock's best kept secret. Sure we have festivals, but when we want a real party…. this is who we call!

Phantom fan, John Sebastian $15 *** The Phantoms have sung and recorded with Eddie Money, Rick Danko, Jorma Kaukonen and Hot Tuna, John Sebastian, Mick Ronson Father Guido Sarducci(!), and Soupy Sales.

Tony Jefferson, accomplished drummer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist has released his debut vocal recording, "Tony Jefferson Sings". Tony has worked with a "who's who" of jazz artists including Eddie Harris, Frank Wess, Lou Donaldson, Freddy Cole, Hank Jones, Kenny Drew Jr., Sheila Jordan and Annie Ross, to name a few. Recently, he has also toured Central Asia (Jazz @ Lincoln Ctr/US St Dept) with Paul Beaudry and Pathways band. Tony now has stepped out from behind the drums to sing. As a singer, he has an honest and direct approach mixed with inventive scat singing. He has sung alongside vocalist Sheila Jordan and Don Byron with Cameron Brown's Band.

"The beautiful songs on Tony Jefferson Sings are songs most of us have heard a million times before but what sets them apart is that they are sung by a voice whose time has finally come. It has emerged on the scene quite humbly, quite naturally, quite honestly…but not by accident." Jazz Insiders Magazine, Nora McCarthy
