Big Joe Fitz is a warm and engaging performer. "My goal is to connect with the audience... that's what I'm thinking about every time I step on the stage." He is a singer of uncommon sensitivity whose roots are deep in the Blues but whose music also combines elements of jazz, swing, funk, and soul.

As a performer Big Joe has opened for or shared the stage with such notable names in the Blues as The Holmes Brothers, Marcia Ball, Mighty Sam McClain, Eddie Kirkland, Little Sammy Davis, Madeleine Peyroux, Tad Robinson, Bruce Katz, Janiva Magness and more.

At 17 years old, Connor Kennedy is already performing with world class musicians and making a name for himself in the Hudson Valley. A multi-instrumentalist, Kennedy plays all kinds of music delivered authentically with energy. Whether he's playing smooth blues licks, or twangy telecaster lines, Connor Kennedy will leave your ears wanting more.

When he's not performing with The Connor Kennedy Band, Connor sits in with local musicians of all caliber; including Scott Sharrard and Jay Collins of Gregg Allman & Friends, the latter of the two is also a member of the Levon Helm Band and played on Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, and Boz Scagg's collaborative “Dukes Of September Rhythm Revue”. Connor also performed with Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm Band, Phil Lesh & Friends) and Teresa Williams, with Amy Helm & Byron Isaacs (Levon Helm Band and Ollabelle) at a benefit for Saugerties School's Library, Arts, and Music in September of 2010.

 This 4-5 member trio performs mostly original music in either acoustic or electric formats. Their songs will get you moving and a Trio Mio show always rocks the house. The sum is greater than the parts, and the parts are very, very good. Fran Palmieri is the front man, singing most of the leads and playing rhythm guitar, Bruce Hildenbrand sings harmony, co-writes some of the originals and plays lead guitar. Robert Muller is the drummer/percussionist and sings. Steve Massardo plays bass and adds harmony. Terri Massardo occasionally sits in on vocals, too.

With the release of his third CD, Heart, Mind & All, Kurt Henry demonstrates his rapid evolution “through folk, jazz, latin and quasi-Caribbean styles into his own distinctly American sound”(Roll). He lives in the Hudson Valley, where in addition to playing music he has for two years hosted a regional songwriter’s night. In spite of a busy schedule, he has been involved with youth programs such as ArtsTeach, which won him an honorary New York State Educator of Excellence Award.

In person he shakes up the stage without taking a breath between songs. Believe that he has something to prove. A pacifist, he’s been described by different reviewers as a warrior. His mission is to strike with meaning, elegance and infectious rhythm – to show that a band with great heart can make the ground quake. And this band doesn’t miss a beat.

In various bands, as guitarist/singer/bandleader, Kurt has opened shows for over 100 internationally known acts including Procol Harum, The Byrds, Asleep at the Wheel, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, etc. Kurt has jammed on stage with David Bromberg, Artie Traum, Rick Danko, Chuck Berry, Jay Ungar, John Herald and others. Some recent venues include The Linda Norris Auditorium (WAMC’s “Dancing on the Air”), The Towne Crier, The Bearsville Theatre and Saratoga’s Café Lena.

and the Second Friday of each month, Jeff Entin & Bob Blum will be in residence at the High Falls Cafe doing something we're calling the Friday Night Jams.

What does that mean, you may ask? Allow me to enlighten you... Jeff & Bob, who have been playing together since before the term Jam Band was coined, will be playing and hosting something a little more experimental than the usual fare. They'll be doing their usual unusual thing, but with a guest or two sitting in, not to play their usual stuff, but to see what happens through the magic of Jamming!  So... every second Friday of each month they will be here, along with who knows who, sitting in with them, taking musical chances and casting their collective fates to the wind. 8PM!

..DAVID KRAAI & AMY LABER
David Kraai and Amy Laber have each been performing their original
material over many a mile and storied year. Now, these songs and stories
take on a new shape as the musical charms of each accentuate the other.
Country harmonies, sweet banjo, tasty mandolin, twangy guitars and soulful
harmonica carry this duo from The Carter Family to Neil Young straight
into their own right as a patch on the tapestry of American music. With
positive press, radio play and several solo albums behind them, the future

is truly wide open.
