The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
The hot, wild and joyful sounds of Soñando have earned them the reputation as the Hudson Valley's premier Latin band. Their spicy blend of music and musicians have performed in clubs, at private funtions, community festivals, benefit concerts, on radio and television, as well as the Puerto Rico Day Parade in NYC, but the band is at home wherever a dance floor can be cleared. Fueled by a fiery rhythm section and high-octane horns, Soñando plays a wide variety of Latin styles from Plena and Son to Salsa and Merengue!

"The name of the band is Spanish for "dreaming" but when the hordes come out for Soñando, they don't sleepwalk - they dance. And we're not talking a few perfunctory head-bobs or butt-wiggles, they dance until they go up in flames, like Tula's unquenchable bedroom in the Cuban lyrics..." - Woodstock Times

With a voice praised as “a deep contralto as smooth and dark as the richest espresso” (Jazz Times, November 2007,) award-winning jazz vocalist Alexis Cole has made an impressive impact on audiences ever since she first took the stage as a teenager.

Winner of the 2007 Jazzmobile competition and an award recipient of the Montreux Jazz Vocal Competition, Alexis was cited as "a rising star in the jazz world” by Hot House Magazine.

With seven records so far, Alexis Cole is on her way to becoming the next great singer. Christopher Loudon of Jazz Times says “Cole’s easy sense of swing is strongly reminiscent of Sarah Vaughan”.

Ernest Barteldes for AllAboutJazz writes “Cole’s voice is inspired”.

Keyboardist/arranger Pete Levin has performed and recorded with hundreds of jazz and pop artists, and received critical accolades for his 15 year association with the legendary Gil Evans and his 8 years with jazz icon Jimmy Giuffre.

The Legendary Larry Coryell, jazz guitar innovator & pioneer of jazz - rock fusion comes together with Grammy nominated rock, blues, jazz guitar virtuoso Gil Parris for an incredible evening of music in a benefit concert to supplement the costs of extensive testing and healthcare for Charlie Coryell, the son of Murali Coryell; grandson of Larry Coryell.

Grammy-nominated rock, blues, jazz and pop guitarist, Gil Parris is known for blending blues, jazz, rock and smooth jazz. His distinguished sound and technique breathe and converse like no one else's.

Craig Bickhardt
Singer-Songwriter, Country, and Folk/Traditional
Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts
Online: www.wtbq.com or 93.5FM, NY   See Map
By the time Craig Bickhardt was 25 years old he'd signed a record contract with Bob Dylan's manager Albert Grossman; inked an artist development deal with legendary talent impresario and head of Atlantic Records Ahmet Ertegun; had one of his songs recorded by Art Garfunkel; shared the concert stage with Bruce Springsteen, Stephen Stills and Harry Chapin; lost nearly everything he owned in a California house fire; and had his only guitar stolen by a junkie in NYC. It appeared as if his budding career had all the makings of a Llewen Davis-esque tale. Despite steady touring and achieving respectable successes such as scoring music for the Academy Award winning film Tender Mercies and writing songs that have been covered by Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, B. B. King, Alison Krauss and others, Bickhardt remains a relatively undiscovered artist himself. His latest CD, The More I Wonder, features his beautifully weathered vocals, skillful guitar work and intelligent songwriting at its best.

Marlboro, NY   See Map
Born in New York City, Feiner began his foray into music on the guitar, earning a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies/Guitar at the Hartt School of Music. During the early ‘90s he was a respected guitarist on the New York jazz scene, playing with some of the city’s finest musicians.

In 1999, during his first trip to Brazil, Feiner discovered the pandeiro. He moved to Rio de Janeiro in 2001 and after only a few years became a respected pandeirista. However, it is Feiner’s innovative mixture of the pandeiro with jazz and other genres, which has set him apart. With his “Pandeiro Jazz” project, he has helped expand the possibilities and perception of the Brazilian pandeiro worldwide.

In March 2014 Feiner released his fourth album, A View From Below, which also highlights his talents as a composer.

Downbeat magazine gave it 4-stars and wrote, “Precise, yet fluid, funky grooves ... a tightly locked momentum compelled by one tiny, yet mighty, drum.”

Sex Mob, Steven Bernstein, Briggan Krauss, Tony ScherrThe FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
After assembling the band Sex Mob began a residency at the Knitting Factory, playing predominantly originals written by Bernstein. During a special evening of film music, the crowd went crazy for the “James Bond Theme,” and Bernstein realized that the audience was much more attuned to their playing when they recognized the tune.

The band started to expand their songbook, but not to the same old, tired jazz standards. Songs by Prince, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, and even the “Macarena” , the only rule being that the song had to have such a strong melody that it could withstand serious deconstruction.

Bernstein said in Jazz Asylum, “I realize that’s what jazz musicians have always done. That’s how Lester Young got popular; it’s how Charlie Parker got popular; it’s how Miles Davis got popular; that’s how John Coltrane got popular. They played the songs that everyone knew and because they could recognize the song, then that invited them into their style.”

Clinton Corners, NY   See Map
Join us for a truly special musical event Friday, May 30, 2014 at 7:30pm. Come listen to legendary fiddler Darol Anger, exquisite singer/songwriter Emy Phelps, with very special guest, Old-Time fiddler extraordinaire Bruce Molsky, and bassist Aidan O'Donnell.

The venue is The Barn at Rocky Top in Clinton Corners, NY. Because the space is so intimate (150 spaces in a hand-built Music Barn set on 15 private and secluded acres, with a built-in bar and stone fireplace), interest in the show will be high. Food and drink will be available at the bar.

Fiddler, composer, producer and educator, Darol Anger is at home in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent. Emy Phelps does not remember a time when she has not sung. Find her current release, Look Up, Look Down. Bruce Molsky is "one of America's premier fiddling talents" and a twice-Grammy nominated artist.
