The band, a small conjunto with a huge sound, identifies with the rhythms and melodies of the Caribbean; Salsa, Son, Rumba, Bomba, Plena, as well as Merengue. The veteran musicians of this conjunto, to their credit, have performed and recorded with world renowned artists such as Celia Cruz, Pete "El Conde" Rodriquez, Eddie Palmieri, Monguito "el unico", los Kimbos, and the New Swing Sextet to name a few. This conjunto creates a traditional/modern energetic sound by placing the interlocking rhythmic figures of percussion and Cuban Tres under a smoothly swinging melody to create a ".... new sound Conjunto Sazon.”

Intelligence has it that these guys are high-level pros...

The Cobert Operations team includes Jon Cobert -- operations director; Peter Calo -- laser expert; Stu Woods -- low end crowd control; Rob Wallis -- social director; Tim Ouimette -- trumpet and roof repairs; Mark Fineberg - saxophone and roof work (they expect to blow the roof off the joint).

Special activities will be conducted throughout the night. These activities include dancing, shouting "whoo-hoo" and having a general good time. Secret handshakes are also an option.

The team will self-destruct after the show and 12 Grapes will once again disavow all knowledge of their appearance here.

Susan Werner, Vance Gilbert
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic, and Folk/Traditional
Common Ground @ South Church
South Presbyterian Church, 343 Broadway
Dobbs Ferry, NY   See Map
Called the empress of the unexpected by NPR, singer-songwriter Susan Werner recently turned another corner in her multifaceted musical career with her vibrant 2011 album, Kicking the Beehive. It’s an 11-song collection of provocative, poignant, lyrical originals that are infused with the rustic roots of American folk, blues and country music. Produced by Rodney Crowell, recorded in Nashville and featuring such all-star guests as Vince Gill, Keb’ Mo’ and Paul Franklin, Kicking the Beehive is a personal project where Werner intuitively explores the full impact of looking beyond the superficial and delving into soulful honesty. Sharing the bill will be Boston-based folksinger Vance Gilbert. A favorite on the U.S. coffeehouse, club, and festival circuit, Vance is blessed with a far ranging, almost otherworldly tenor voice. He’s also an accomplished acoustic guitar player who incorporates elements of jazz, blues and country into his deft picking.

Hailing from NYC, Steven Wright-Mark is a Top-10 artist on Reverbnation's NY Indie charts, and has played all over the world--from Manhattan to Moscow-- including the local Pleasantville Music Festival, where he opened for Rusted Root, Carney and Jakob Dylan.

"My Plastic World" is Steven Wright-Mark's third solo CD. It has just been released on Amplifrier Music and is already getting great critical response and radio airplay. His music is often considered "Power Pop", that is, hard-edged, guitar-driven music that's chock-full of hooky melodies, lush harmonies, and clever lyrics. Although Steven plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals on his self-produced recordings, he plays guitar and keyboards live, along with his band...Ed Cusati (Guitar/Vocals), Andy Kuusisto (Bass/Vocals), and Armand Minassian (Drums).

Join us as we welcome Steven to our 12 Grapes stage, and celebrate the release of his new CD.

Baum's playing has a deep funk to it, with a big influence of Jimmy Smith. And Baum also brings in all kinds of other things as well - dissonant jazz, alternative rock, R&B. He's not too far off from what John Medeski does with Medeski, Martin and Wood, but with more of a blues streak to it. ***Jim Trageser. Escondido, Calif. ***

***Pot-luck dinner 1 hour before show – bring a dish!

BOTH selected for the Emerging Artists showcase at the 2012 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival!



Two-time Kerrville New Folk Finalists, The YaYas (Catherine Miles, Jay Mafale and Paul Silverman) are an engaging and uplifting folk/pop trio. “They report on life observed, with great insight, not just centering on relationships but ranging widely — reminiscent of ‘literary’ songwriters like Richard Shindell, Dar Williams, Josh Ritter.”



Chicago-bred/NYC-based Honor Finnegan’s original songs (and ukulele playing!) combine elements of musical theatre, comedy, traditional folk, and poetry. "Her recorded and live repertoire packs a unique one-two punch." - Richard Cuccaro, Acoustic Live. 2011 Connecticut Folk Festival Songwriting Competition Finalist.
