Singer-Songwriter, Folk/Traditional | The Purple Crayon
52 Main Street
Hastings on Hudson, NY See Map |
 Singer-songwriter Lucy Kaplansky is in high demand among her fellow folk artists. Her outstanding voice and her gift for writing have lent themselves to many collaborations with her peers, including John Gorka, Dar Williams, Richard Shindell, Shawn Colvin, and more. John Gorka has called her "one of the great singers and one of the greatest harmony singers ever." The praise and recognition she receives from other singer-songwriters is reason enough to acknowledge Kaplansky's great talents, but she continues to wow critics as well. Able to combine beautiful language with robust stories, her songs are "about life itself, in all its awkward, emotional, and difficult glory. There's poetry in there, but not at the cost of the stories themselves."
It's clear that Kaplansky has an innate gift for tellling stories, and a gorgeous voice with which to bring her characters to life. Her performance at The Purple Crayon promises to be an intimate, beautiful experience.

 In early 2011 former Dead Or Alive vocalist Dave Falkenmeyer and Guitarist Tom Rhein composed the acoustic duo Twisted Steele. The band became a trio in June 2012 when Jack Sheppard was added to the band after the band wanted to expand their sound. Seeking a change from drumming in classic rock bands for thirty years Jack auditioned and took Twisted Steele to another level with incredible precision and impeccable timing. Dave is no stranger to the music scene as he fronted many bands in his twenty five year career moving crowds with his wide vocal range and crowd interaction makes his performances unforgettable. Tom has toured for many years in his 30 years of experience. He started touring with southern rock bands in Georgia at the age of eighteen and continues to play through today but on a smaller scale. Tom and Dave met in the band Backlash a well known rock cover band from Orange County NY. They rocked the local area for well over five years until their demise in late 2007. |

 Hudson Valley singer/songwriter Willa McCarthy debuted her new band at The Falcon in early September to a standing-room only crowd and everyone had such a good time, we asked her to come back for a repeat performance.
McCarthy has been an active performer in the Hudson Valley for more than a decade, most notably as a member of The Chris O'Leary Band.
She met acclaimed and award-winning singer/harp player Chris O’Leary a few years before he became the lead singer for Levon Helm's Barn Burners. When O’Leary launched his own band in 2008 and invited her to join, she jumped at the chance. Of McCarthy, O'Leary has said, "she's my favorite person in the world to sing with."
McCarthy’s vocals are powerful and soulful and her band plays a mix of blues, funk, R&B and rock—including original and cover material—and features Josh Stacy on guitar, Scott Milici on keys, Doug Abramson on bass and Jerry Teters on drums. |

 Sculptor Sydney Cash mounts a three month ”work-in-progress” exhibition at The Falcon in Marlboro NY, beginning February 2014.
The show will feature Cash’s new dimensional paintings and portraits in space-modulating installations. Some pieces will span the entire width of the club. Some will include the tables, integrating elements of his light sculpture to the surprise and delight of the Falcon audience!
What does this Work-in-Progress mean? It means the show is alive. It will change frequently as Cash respond to the space, the music and the experience on a weekly basis.
Sydney Cash's studios are nearby in Marlboro. With a key to the club, his work-in-progress may happen at any time, day or night. This is a very special opportunity for the artist, whose experimental ideas will be manipulated in continuing improvisation, complimenting the music being performed, and engaging an audience that wants to be thrilled with “all that jazz”. |
