January 6—To be announced

February 4— CLAUDIA JACOBS and special guest ROUGH FOLK

CLAUDIA JACOBS' voice and presence ride a wave from low-down bluesy to sweet and sassy which led one of her fans to brand her “a Hardcore Angel.” She is very comfortable on stage and her audience knows that she's real happy to be there with them, sharing a moment; her concerts never disappoint. Currently, she is in the studio finishing-up her long-awaited full length CD “Rally On” and planning her support tour throughout the Eastern Seaboard. The CD reflects her wide range of influences from Alternative Country, Folk and Jazz, to R & B, Bluegrass and Blues. Featured on the CD is Composer and Professor of music Dr. Dan Weymouth serving up some '70's soul style organ and piano; on electric and slide guitar, author of “Project Studio Blueprint” and owner of NY's Soundsurfr Studios Greg Galluccio; protégé of world renowned trombonist Ray Anderson and new member of the world renowned brass quintet Synergy, Tristan Eggener on tuba and bass; Bakithi Kumalo's drummer Mark Portugal and a special appearance by guitar virtuoso Steve Rothery of the popular UK band Marillion. Opening the show is Rough Folk. It’s no surprise that HANK STONE has been hailed as one of Long Island’s best songwriters. His memorable hooks and melodies, “two notes and you know it’s Hank” guitar style and uncanny ability to tell a story with a song make the emotional impact of his music both immediate and compelling. Known primarily as a solo artist, Hank recently joined forces with long-time friends TODD EVANS and MIKE CHRISTIAN to create the band Rough Folk.

Tornado Alley is a four piece acoustic band that features songs from singer / songwriters: Tim Huss, Vincent Crici, Lora Kendall and guest artist and founding member Sonny Speed with Robert Langley on percussion. The sound is pure Americana with a generous helping of three & four-part harmonies. Founded about three years ago, the concept was to put together writers that would complement each other and to create new songs that revisit the acoustic American sound of an earlier time. A time when electric guitars and big amplifiers were put aside and musicians picked up their acoustic guitars and focused on the vocals and the writing. Following that tradition, Tornado Alley offers an array of styles from the American back roads that will have you feeling like you’re on a cross-country road trip with your radio on. Tornado Alley captures the feeling in song, of traveling from New England’s folk scene to the Bluegrass Region, across the Texas prairies, up through the Rockies and out to California.While each member of the band is an accomplished soloist who has been playing the local scene for some time, together they find new inspiration for their writing and arranging. Audiences at Tornado Alley’s shows have truly been caught up in the band’s sound. The band recently released its first full length self titled CD.

Anyone familiar with Long Island music venues has probably heard Ken “The Rocket” Korb, a multi- instrumentalist and musicologist with a dynamic, humorous stage presence on mandolin, diatonic and chromatic harmonicas, penny whistle, washboard, lead and harmony vocals.
