After fronting the band Wood, whose hit song, “Stay You” was included in the show Dawson's Creek, Maddock moved from England to NYC. His album, ‘Sunrise On Avenue C’ won a NY Music Award for Best Americana Album, while the follow-up, 'Wake Up And Dream' ranked among the top albums of 2011 in WFUV's Listener Poll. According to radio legend Vin Scelsa, Maddock's "heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely crafted" music "touches the soul."

Cajun/Zydeco | Paramount Hudson Valley
1008 Brown St.
Peekskill, NY See Map |
 If you’ve gotten into zydeco music, or watched the world celebrate this great aspect of Louisiana culture over the past 30+ years it’s likely been because of Buckwheat Zydeco. Many millions witnessed the excitement when Jimmy Fallon chose him to open the final episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon: The show opened “cold” with a tight close up of Buck’s accordion, then – joined by Fallon on guitar and backed by the Roots – they kicked off a rousing rendition of “On A Night Like This.”
That song was the title track of Buckwheat Zydeco’s groundbreaking first Island Records album and was responsible for bringing the unique sound of zydeco into the musical mainstream in 1987. It was also the first major label zydeco record, and a Grammy nominee. No other zydeco artist has come close to selling as many records or exposing the music to more people around the world. The band claims the three largest selling zydeco albums of all time.

Great BBQ, full bar, and WOODEN Dance Floor.
Rene Bailey uses her vocal clarity to sell the blues with true feeling. Mixing Gospel, jazz, and rhythm/blues, she
sang with Louis Armstrong, BB King, Aretha, Brubeck, Ruth Brown, Paul Anka, Sam Cooke, & many more…
Rene Bailey started singing Gospel as a kid in her Georgia church. Moving to NYC, she hit the scene where she sang blues & jazz. The transition from Gospel to nightclub work came naturally, & Rene became the vocalist at Peg Leg Bates' Club for 20 years.
In church it's called "shouting"-the Gospel dance. "They get up and shout & shout." In a club when Rene Bailey sings, and "it" hits, you yell, "Yes, indeed!"

“A three hour tour…”
Imagine: A small group of quirky characters including a captain, first mate, rich couple, an academic,(who is so smart he can make a radio out of coconut shells, but can’t fix a boat) a movie star, and a girl-next door type set out on a boat that breaks in a storm. They all end up stranded on this desert aisle….Mopco is tentatively calling this format “Castaways.”

 Unique opportunity to see talented artists in a unique and intimate setting. It's literally a Living Room! Dawn Landes and Piers Faccini met in 2013 when they shared a bill together in a Romanesque Chapel in the South of France. The concert that night was entirely acoustic, sung and played without the use of any microphones or speaker. Performing acoustically without the filter of a sound system allowed the audience and the performers to experience the songs in a unique and priviliged way. Piers Faccini has given numerous acoustic concerts throughout Europe over the last few years and after meeting Dawn Landes, the idea of a run of entirely acoustic shows in the U.S was born. These two internationally respected songwriters have collaborated on several projects since, namely on the compilation The Many Are One. They are currently working together on an EP.
