This annual candle-lite “service of the shadows” recreates the last days of Jesus’ life, leading up to his crucifixion on the cross. The progress is marked by the dimming of lights until, with the removal of the Christ Candle, we are reminded of the final isolation of Jesus in darkness on the cross. The bell tolls 33 times, for the years of Christ’s life. The Christ Candle’s return symbolizes the meaning of the cross fulfilled. The retelling is done with a series of dramatic scenes interspersed with music. This moving story will be told by a cast of Broadway actors and professional musicians working side by side with members of the congregation. The church is thrilled to once again have Broadway actress Jeanne Jones directing the production which has become one of the most talked about services of the year.

Towne Crier Cafe
379 Main Street
Beacon, NY   See Map
Description: The late Memphis producer Jim Dickinson once called Jimbo Mathus “the singing voice of Huck Finn.” Outside the South, Mathus is likely known as the ringleader of the hyper-ragtime outfit Squirrel Nut Zippers. In his native Mississippi and throughout the South, however, Mathus is the prolific songwriter of born-in-the-bone Southern music, the torchbearer for Deep South mythology and culture—“innerplanetary honky-tonk” for the masses.

Ever dreamed of being in a lead singer in a band? Do you love singing into the mirror with your hairbrush as a mic? Than LBK is for you!!

12 Grapes' Live Band Karaoke is like traditional karaoke -- people choose a song from a list and sing when it's their turn-- but instead of a pre-recorded background track, the participants sing with a LIVE backing band, and even back-up singers. LBK is way more fun than singing to a pre-recorded track.

We have over 150 songs on our list, including '70s, '80s, '90s and contemporary pop/rock/soul. The list will be posted on the 12 Grapes Facebook page each month, so check it out.

Hosted by JP Patrick, with Tito Wilson on drums, Chris Burke on keys, Artie Walker on bass and other special guests.

If you have any questions about our LBK, feel free to call: 914-737-6624.

**Free Admission**

Sign-up is between 8 & 10PM, so get here early!!

with SYDNEY CASH
The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
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”.

Jazz
The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Take a group of heavyweight jazz masters — the kind who helped to make the classic records that defined the modern idiom — there will be fireworks. The all-star collection known as The Cookers have toured for five years now, and released three albums of mostly original compositions that proudly capture this band's meat-and-potatoes spirit, and brings deserved attention to its members' storied and ongoing careers. The Cookers summon up an aggressive mid ‘60s spirit with post-bop originals marked by killer instincts and pyrotechnic playing expected of some of the heaviest hitters on the scene today.

Each member of the Cookers has led his own series of groups, and each has a keenly individual sound. The power of teamwork makes this music commanding and resonates with the depth of 250 years of combined experience in over 1,000 recordings. You can feel the collective weight of that experience in their live performances. The group has headlined at venues worldwide.
