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

The word teitur means the happy one in Old Norse. You probably don't need to know that but you should certainly know about Teitur, the singer-songwriter from the Faroe Islands. Teitur (born Teitur Lassen 1977 in Hoyvík) started out as lead singer in the Faroese band Mark No Limits but after having quickly gained a reputation at home, left the Faroe Islands for Copenhagen at the age of 17 to pursue a solo career.

Three albums later, with appearances on MTV his music featured in TV and movie soundtracks and thanks to his unceasing touring, a loyal fan base, the popularity of his videos on YouTube and a whole host of supportive bloggers, it looks like he is gaining the reputation he rightfully deserves

OD's of Nyack (aka O'Donoghue's) welcomes performers for open mic every Thursday night. Our house band is one of the best around; regular members include Gregg Hollister, Jeff Rubin, Frank Colonnato and more. Touring musicians in the area stop in, so there's always terrific sound to be heard. If you have a band, take over the stage; if you are a solo performer, doubtless the band can play what you want to sing. And, just to keep the pipes lubed, we always have a $3.75 special pint along with bottle specials to quench your thirst!
Open Mic is free, just buy some food or drink.
