The Kenn Morr Band
Acoustic
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffe Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Kenn’s gifts to the rest of us are his songs, which push boundaries while recalling a time when the world was a simpler place. His music has a dreamy, simple quality that harkens back to a time when American music and life was less complicated yet just as strongly felt.

Bob Dylan’s brand of acoustic rock is referenced by Kenn’s low persuasive tones, and traces of John Mellencamp are recognizable in the songs’ heartfelt quality and accessibility. The lyrics address universal themes such as love, fear, cautiousness and curiosity and speak to everyman. Even Kenn’s newest songs feel like they’ve existed forever and embody the time transcending quality of art that is truly organic.

Only History Remains: An Exhibit of Paintings and Woodcuts
with Artist's Reception for Ilse Schreiber-Noll, 3-6 pm, and Poetry Reading by Andrew Acciaro at 4:30 pm
Acoustic
BeanRunner Cafe
201 S. Division Street @ Esther
Peekskill, NY   See Map
Schreiber-Noll is a deeply committed advocate for Peace. Her work traces its roots back to the passionate writings of Bertolt Brecht and others, who spoke for the rights of the downtrodden. "Only History Remains," depicts the terrors of War and the threat of ecological disaster. She creates densely painted surfaces with the addition of collage elements: wire, wood, photos and books that give a strong sense of physical presence. While her work is less concerned with beauty than with ideas, it transmits an undeniable sense of poetry and lyricism.

Ilse Schreiber-Noll was born in Germany and studied at the University of Marburg, Germany. She moved to the United States to study Woodcut and The Art of the Book with Antonio Frasconi at Purchase Collage SUNY, Purchase NY. There she received her MFA in 1989 and stayed on to teach The Art of the Book until 2009.

The artist's reception are free and open to the public.

Songs from Peter Gabriel, Ozzie Ozborne, Billy Idol, The Police, The Cars, U2, The Stray Cats and more.

NY music reviewer Kevin Johnston wrote this about Drew: "His guitar work is the real deal... A lot of players have forgotten what the rock solo is for, but Drew knows and he uses it to take the music to a new level." Geoff Hartwell is one of the Hudson Valley's leading slide guitarists, who often performs with rock icons such as Sonny Landreth, and tours with Andy Aledort and Grammy winner Yonrico Scott. Matt Graff is a Berklee alum, and tours across the US and Europe and in countless shows in and around NYC.

Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Jessica Smucker writes what could be considered "dark pop" songs: catchy melodies in minor keys, lyrics that masterfully infuse sad stories with tiny flecks of humor and hope. She performs in diverse configurations and contexts, but her songs have a consistent melodic edge. "Woven with a sort of defiant sadness, a square-jawed resilience" (Fly Magazine), her compositions often start down a familiar road but, through a series of subtle twists and curves, deliver the listener to an unexpected destination.

Gil Parris has recorded and toured both as a solo artist and sideman with major artists like Dr. John, Paul Shaffer, Blood, Sweat & Tears, David Mann, Billy Vera and Bobby Caldwell to name a few. Gil often performs with former Yankee outfielder, Bernie Williams. He's been featured on The TODAY show, CBS, YES Network and others. In 2010, Vintage Guitar said, "Gil Parris is one of guitardom's unsung heroes." Jazz Improv calls Gil "an absolute monster of the guitar--lyrically, technically, sensitively."

Gil's band features equally incredible musicians Joe Piteo (drums), Kip Sophos (bass), Josh Dion (vocals/percussion) and Matt King (keys).
