The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Native New Yorkers, John and Lindsey, began writing music together in 2008 and dubbed themselves “Skeye.” They embarked on two projects: an endeavor they called “Room Experiments,” and writing original music for their first record. “Room Experiments” involved traveling with recording gear and instruments to indoor and outdoor locations, making videos of musical performances in these spaces. In each location, they experimented with acoustics, ambience, and the space’s general response to sound. Skeye built a collection of these live recordings on Youtube, and gained the attention of a large international following. Skeye has released three albums and is currently producing an EP.

Jason has been a mainstay on the Hudson Valley live music scene for over decade – first in one of the region’s most beloved cover bands, Maria’s Basement, and then as a founding member of the alt-country band, The Woodcocks.

With his solo career, Jason has shared the stage with James Otto, Jimmy Wayne, Easton Corbin, Billy Currington, Blackberry Smoke and Ryan Bingham, among others.

Live Band Karaoke puts you center stage, singing with a live band and even back-up singers. It's 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. Choose songs from Aretha to Adele, Stevie Wonder to Stepenwolf, AC/DC to Weezer and everything in between! The band does two sets - sign up to sing one song per set. You'll be dancing and cheering, song after song.

Hosted by JP Patrick, with Tito Wilson on drums, Chris Burke on keys, Artie Walker on bass and Hank DeCora on guitar.

Suter is the daughter of a singer, Carrie Suter, backing vocalist with Harry Belafonte and Mahalia Jackson and cites the late classic R&B singer, Ruth Brown, as a primary influence.
