BEST OF HUDSON VALLEY- 2013 READER'S PICK- BEST BRUNCH!
with Ed Palermo's Big Band
Swing/Jump, Big Band, Jazz. Rock
The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Palermo is not a “business as usual” musician. His Big Band may deliver Zappa, Hendrix, Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield or one of Ed’s own compositions, with lush turns and twists.

The legendary Gil Evans wonderfully articulated Palermo’s unusual approach to traditional instrumentation: “I first heard Ed Palermo’s music in a small club in the SoHo section of Manhattan. He was using the instrumentation of a traditional big band yet his arrangements and songs were anything but that. When I thought the music was going a certain direction, it would suddenly turn a corner. Ed has the ability to keep that important balance between cohesiveness and unpredictability. Ed Palermo’s music is alive and represents now.”

RIVER SPIRIT MUSIC
Hastings-on-Hudson, NY   See Map
his is Danny's only NYC area appearance this year This is a concert you don’t want to miss.

Danny Schmidt is best known for his riveting poetic lyrics, which have drawn favorable comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt for their depth and complexity. And gypsy spirit Carrie Elkin is best known for her incredibly soulful and dynamic vocals, which have drawn favorable comparisons to Patty Griffin at her most powerful, and Nanci Griffith at her most intimate.

Together, the respective strengths they each bring, individually, merge into a much greater whole . . . a performance of great energy and spirit . . . and one that audiences seem to be able to connect with on a multitude of levels, at once: Emotionally, Spiritually, and Intellectually.

Two of our favorite performers on the same stage, taking turns playing original music, and singing together to harmonize, and mesmerize!

Mishti's music has been described as "coasting between a bottom-heavy Zeppelin Rock, Blues-infused grooves, Thelonius Monk-inspired guitar work, and a Nina Simone-style wail-to-whisper." Always looking to cultivate a connection with her audience, she strives to create an experience that grabs listeners emotionally.

Addie Brownlee's voice has been compared to Dusty Springfield. It's Americana, Alt/Country, Singer/Songwriter. "If Brownlee’s voice is of the dust, the earth, then her lyrics are a hard rain..." Addie notes Dolly Parton as her biggest influence. Addie has performed with Martha Wainwright and Addie's song, "Sea Legs" (off her new EP, "East of Leaving") features a cameo by Ms. Wainwright.

Two exceptionally talented performers in an up-close-and personal concert. Don't miss it.

BEST OF HUDSON VALLEY- 2013 READER'S PICK- BEST BRUNCH!
with Hugh Brodie & The Cosmic Ensemble
Jazz
The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Brodie is a sax player who gets right down to the true nitty gritty. An artist who coaxes every ounce of emotion from his instrument as only a true jazz player can. He is spiritual beyond words in his approach to his craft and even in brief conversation. Brodie emerges as a courteous and affable gentleman - “cool" in the context of an old-school jazzman who knows his stuff like an artisan of another time - the carpenter who can almost taste the sawdust and accurately sense the project that will be his work of art; or the gourmet cook, who no more needs the aid of a printed recipe than a skilled race car driver needs a road map.

Brodie has created two CD's, "Unforgettable Sax" and "Songs For Anu." He has the principles of astral projection to music. This combination of astrology and music has made "Unforgettable Sax" very popular in Europe.
