Bill Sims Jr & Adam Levy, Bill Sims Jr., Adam Levy
Blues, Singer-Songwriter
The Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Bill Sims Jr. - "So much of blues today is about having a good time, dancing, and drinking beer," says Sims. "But I like to present a broader spectrum of the blues because I grew up hearing all of it, and I think it's important for people to be aware of the more complete history of the music. 'I've Got My Mojo Working' and 'Everyday I Have the Blues' are great songs, but they're not he whole story. Many different artists were affected by the blues, and I like to show the relationship between, say, Charlie Patton and Miles Davis, or between Lead Belly and Bob Dylan." Adam Levy's former "day job" was playing guitar in Norah Jones' band. Not surprisingly, his own music holds some similarities to his ex-boss'. They share certain laid-back musical qualities that swirl jazz, blues and country colorings into the singer/songwriter palette. In fact, Jones covered Levy's "In the Morning" on her Feels Like Home album.

Enjoy The Back Again Band is one of the hottest Classic Rock/ Blues Bands in The Hudson Valley and, this is by no accident. The band collectively has had years of experience together as well as solo projects and experiences with other bands and venues. Steeped in a blending of old time traditional riffs, they blend their own funk and flavor to everything they do. Music should take you someplace, out of your everyday space and place and this band does this and more. Each member of the band has paid their dues and tells a story, through their instruments and their vocals. This band is the real deal to their core and there is nothing up their sleeves except pure talent, gained by hard work, experience, and varied, diversified training. They do it old school, no computer generated music or licks to pump up the sound, The Back Again Band are the real McCoy. They throw down with punch and sass and bring you into their world of real rock and roll! So

Aaron Nathans
Singer-Songwriter, Americana. electic
Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts
Online: www.wtbq.com or 93.5FM, NY   See Map
Aaron Nathans has never really written a love song.

This 2011 Kerrville New Folk finalist,a Delaware resident, will yodel about grapefruit, and chant about a heavy metal rocker at his Orthodox Jewish wedding. He rocks out about that girl who shouldn't be wearing Goth clothes anymore, and the curious alchemy that makes an Italian bakery turn out the very best bread on the planet.

Maybe that's love after all: You can hear the joy he takes in crafting a song, in the tradition of Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark and Richard Shindell. He's a polished yet unpretentious performer, with a sweet baritone voice and a signature fingerpicking style. While not exactly a humorist, Nathans inevitably makes you laugh.

He plays solo and as a duo with cellist Michael G. Ronstadt.
