She was one of the most covered artists in the 1960s & 1970s (Eli's Coming, Stoned Soul Picnic, Wedding Bell Blues, Sweet Blindness). She tragically passed in 1997. Finally, in 2012 she was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. In their new show, "Spero Plays Nyro," The Christine Spero Group will bring their own kind of power to Laura Nyro's music. Their arrangements with improvisation mixed with Laura's original arrangements have preserved the integrity of her music. Christine was the winner of the USA Songwriting Competition in the Jazz Category with her song, "He Wasn't Always That Way." Her music is now listened to around the world. Joining Christine on piano and vocal will be saxophonist/percussionist Elliot Spero, bassist Scott Petito and drummer Peter O'Brien. |

 New Jersey-based frontman, singer, & harmonica player Rob Paparozzi has been a blues performer since 1967. But Rob is far from being strictly a blues musician. In fact, he's at home playing a wide range of music, ranging from rock to blues to jazz to pop.
Whether you've heard guitarist Dave Stryker fronting his own group, or as a featured sideman , you know why Gary Giddins in the Village Voice calls him "one of the most distinctive guitarists to come along in recent years."
In a diverse music career spanning several decades, keyboardist/arranger Pete Levin has performed and recorded with hundreds of Jazz and Pop artists. Receiving critical accolades for his work w/ Gil Evans, & Jimmy Giuffre.
Lee Finkelstein currently tours the world with The Original Blues Brothers Band & has played w/ Tower of Power, Ben E. King, Donna Summer, and Bill Cosby & Funk Filharmonik. Also w/Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Nancy Wilson, Grover Washington Jr, Eric Gale,& Randy Brecker.

 For the past three years, this Caravan Of Thieves has roamed the North American continent recruiting a family of avid thrill seekers at their high energy shows. Driving gypsy jazz rhythms, acoustic guitars, upright bass and violin lay the foundation for mesmerizing vocal harmonies and fantastic stories. It's theatrical and humorous. It's musical and intense. It entertains, dazzles and defies classification while welcoming the spectator to join the band throughout the performance in momentary fits of claps, snaps and sing-alongs. If Django Reinhardt, the cast of Stomp and the Beatles all had a party at Tim Burton's house, Caravan of Thieves would be the band they hired.

| My primary instrument is my voice, and my guitar embellishes, accompanies, and decorates it. My sound and style are my own. Exposure to music and vocal styles of all types, ranging from standards to jazz to folk/traditional to blues, and to the music of Great Britain, the Appalachian Mountains of Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina, have influenced my sound and led me to describe my music as "eclectic acoustic." I have opened for Christine Lavin and Dave Cousins and performed in Showcases and the Open Mic Finals at the Towne Crier Cafe in Pawling, NY, and appeared in venues in the Hudson Valley and Southwestern CT. I perform a good mix of songs, including my own compositions, covers, and traditional music. I like to tell the stories of the traditional songs I sing and might focus on the song's provenance, themes, imagery, history, depiction of characters, etc. Listeners tell me that they enjoy learning about this traditional music. |

with Eva Cortes
Jazz | The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 After her first release for EMI: “Sola Contigo” (Alone with You), and her two subsequent releases for Universal Jazz Spain: “Como Agua Entre los Dedos” (Like Water Between the Fingers), and “El Mar de mi Vida” (The Sea of My Life), Eva Cortés ranks among the young and most interesting composers and performers of the jazz scene in Spanish.
“Back 2 The Source” is Eva’s personal look at the essence of what she considers to be the mainstay of her musical influence: Jazz. It is an album packed with best-known standards, classical pieces from the American Songbook, in which the Honduras-born artist uses for the first time English as the main language in one of her recordings.
Her fifth album, “Jazz one night with Eva Cortés in Madrid”, was released by VERVE on September 17th, 2012. Currently Eva is working on her 6th album which will be recorded in NYC in May 2013 and released in September 2013 by VERVE/Universal.

7:30 pm | ELLIS PAUL, also special guest SETH GLIER
Singer-Songwriter | Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY See Map |
 Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting. He was a principle leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene, creating a movement that revitalized the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990s. Ellis' charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop, and closer towards the realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today's singer-songwriters ~his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks~ he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.
