The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
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.

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 Hank DeCora on guitar.

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!!

Back in February 2013, we joined with our family, friends & the Ashokan Center & launched an indoor festival called Winter Hoot with local music, local food, & art & nature activities for all ages. It was great! Over 400 attended & made it truly spectacular.

Besides raising money to help local kids attend Ashokan's important outdoor education programs, this late-winter gathering raised a lot of people's spirits, young and old!

The 1st Summer Hoot was magical: 28 bands, a volunteer-constructed outdoor stage, perfect weather, & a magical Sunday morning show by Pete Seeger which will live forever in our memories.

The Hoot fills us with gratitude for the immense beauty, talent & generosity that overflows this valley, these mountains, this region & our greater community on this globe.

2nd Annual Summer Hoot: Aug 22-24, 2014.

The record featured fusions of jazz, rock and the tropical rhythms of Williams’ heritage and was an instant chart success- reaching #3 on Billboard’s “Contemporary Jazz Chart.” Bernie Williams raised his musical game even further with the release of his second album Moving Forward. Featuring guest appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Secada, Dave Koz, and an All-Star cast of renowned studio musicians, Moving Forward debuted as Billboard’s #2 Contemporary Jazz album in the country, and spawned two consecutive Billboard #1 singles, Go For It, and Ritmo de Otono.
