3:00 pm | Marilyn Miller
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter | Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West MArket Street
Red Hook, NY See Map |
Hudson, NY and the surrounding towns have been home for singer/songwriter Marilyn Miller for most of her life, and her music often deals with the contradictions inherent in an area which is at once both very rural and very urban. You will find her most often encouraging others at an open mic, having an open jam at her country home, supporting a farmers' market or other cause, or busking on the streets of her hometown. It is no surprise that, given the diversity of her sounds, her favorite musician is Neil Young, a man well known to follow his muse wherever it takes him. His influence is very evident in the songs Marilyn writes, and in how she approaches the art of music. As a performer, Marilyn is most often compared to Patti Smith, no doubt due to the high energy she displays in presenting her work, and her dedication to always seeking the truth in the music. Her goal is to provide the listener with sounds that make a person move, think and feel, and she does deliver.

10:00 pm | NAOMI SHELTON AND THE GOSPEL QUEENS
Gospel. & Soul! | The Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 Naomi Shelton is no ordinary gospel singer. Though she, like many others, grew up singing with her sisters in their Alabama church, she has also spent much of her life in the soul clubs around New York, . Now, with her first official full-length release coming this May, it’s clear that her singing is equally influenced by both facets of her life.
Cliff Driver is the musical director of the group, and leads the band with his inimitable honky-tonk piano style. Jimmy Hill, the organist on the record, leads his own blues and R&B band and has a pedigree rivaling Driver himself, including a stint in the late sixties backing Wilson Pickett. The record also features guitarist Tommy “TNT” Brenneck and Bosco Mann. The drums on the record were played by Brian Floody, a fixture on the bluesier end of the New York jazz scene who beats an indispensable if understated pulse. |

Singer-Songwriter | Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY See Map |
 Folk-pop artist Sloan Wainwright belongs to a musical dynasty of impossibly gifted singer-songwriters. Her family tree (brother and folk-music luminary Loudon Wainwright, sister-in-law Kate McGarrigle, nephew Rufus Wainwright, nieces Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche) reads like a who's who of contemporary folk music. Sloan's incredible gift is not only her unique songwriting ability but her dramatically voiced rendition of her original songs. "She's folk-influenced, obviously (you can't grow up in the First Family of Folk and not be, one imagines), but the real star here is her voice. Warm and smoky and smooth, it makes her earthy, ominous lyrics seem all the more intense." Defying standard categorization, singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright consistently demonstrates her easy command of a variety of American musical styles – pop, folk, jazz and blues – held together by the melodious tone of her rich contralto. The end result: a unique and soulful hybrid.

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.

Both traditional and trailblazing...Highly recommended.
***Blues Review Magazine***
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.

| Music was always a passion for Marc, and after graduating from law school he put his diploma on the shelf
and fronted bands that played locally in New York City in venues such as CBGB’s, The Wetlands, and The
Knitting Factory. At the same time, Berger also explored the American West, venturing into remote regions
of its deserts and mountains. On one such excursion, he discovered “The Big It” by A.B. Guthrie on a
revolving rack in a Navajo reservation trading post, and the collection of short stories ignited the idea of using
his own travels to create a set of songs in the same cultural tradition.
Berger has performed at Austin’s SXSW Music Festival, Kerrville Folk Festival, and has opened shows for
Bob Dylan, and other national acts. His song, “The Last One,” has been performed by Richie Havens in the
United States and Europe, and has been quoted in the NewYork Times and featured on the CBS Evening News. |

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Ackerman's journey included, radio broadcasts in Australia, Hotel contracts in Asia, backing vocals at Carnegie Hall with Sting, Billy Joel and James Taylor. Nadia spent years studying and performing jazz. Nancy Wilson, Carmen MacRae and Betty Carter became her teachers. Nadia began hearing songs in her head.. The songs arrived in a complete form - lyrics, melodies, harmony and phrasing - as she was writing two songs a day. Having never written a song in her life she was a little perplexed as to what to do with it. Today Nadia has written over 150 compositions and drawing. Nadia has composed a body of work in novelty books. The lyrics are the stories; the drawings paint the picture of the song and a CD in the back completes the experience
The Hipstones are soul with a capital S. Soul that soothes. Soul that grooves. And Soul that moves. With an eye to the classic R&B sounds of the 1960’s, the duo of Mark Palmer (keys/vocals) and Anthea White (vocals) have shaped a sonic identity all their own.the Hipstones have established themselves as one of the premier soul bands on the scene today. With their eight-piece powerhouse ensemble tearing up New York’s funkiest clubs, Mark Palmer and Anthea White have built a sound that’s just a little bit Marvin Gaye, and a whole lot modern day. Their latest album, Dreamers (2010), is a testament to their unique vision and mastery of all things jazz, soul, funk and reggae. A future born from their storied international lineage. A future with a capital F.
