March 18—FATHOM

CELTIC FANTASY ROCK: “A paradoxical rendezvous of past and present.”

SPECIAL GUEST POOR OL' SEAMUS ROCK & BLUES REVIEW Patchogue's own Seamus Sullivan in a special acoustic set of his original songs.

With a unique blend of traditional Celtic melodies and the pure thunder of progressive and classic rock, Fathom is destined to musically innovate, as well define their own “Celtic Fantasy Rock”. Fathom boasts an energetic live show and signature sound setting themselves apart from any formulaic boredom of standard rock radio. "Traditional Celtic music reaches down into people's souls and shakes them and says 'wake up, its time to dance, shout and have a good time', declares guitarist Robert Muller. "We have hybridized that ancient sound with monster guitar riffs, added some Guinness for good measure and we are thunderstruck with the result!"

Fathom’s songs and sound explore landscapes of Celtic myth breathed through modern and traditional instruments. Their 2005 self-released CD “Celtic Rocks” follows their critically acclaimed “Pollution Blues” CD. “Our fourth album entitled “The Last Battle”, truly was a quest and a battle to create, but now it complete, and we have forged a prodigious and heavy sound,” explains lead singer/songwriter John DiBartolo.

Fathom's “Last Battle”, is a CD that leans more towards heavy and progressive rock than ever before, but there are acoustic gems here as well. John’s poetic lyrics meander through history, Tolkien-esque myth, and weighty spiritual topics to the primal theme of lost love and future redemption. After "The Last Battle", a 'best of' collection was released in 2009 entitled "Crest of the Best".

Mandolin/Violin Player John Farrell’s mastery of traditional Irish music is a driving force in Fathom’s Celtic lifeblood. Farrell states, “Irish and classical music was all I played growing up. I’m really excited to be able to assimilate traditional Irish music in a non-traditional sense with the band.” Mr. Farrell most recently commissioned a custom Bacorn electric "Les Paul" style mandolin complete with "Jameson Whiskey cap" volume dials!

Fathom has broken the boundaries of the traditional Celtic music scene. The band has performed to main stream rock audiences by sharing the stage with numerous, diverse and classic artists such as Hot Tuna, Jason Bonham, and Tom Tom Club, as well as folk legends like Fairport Convention and then the whole gamut of Celtic giants such as the Wolfe Tones, Black 47, The Prodigals, Eileen Ivers, The Makem Brothers and countless others. There are no boundaries to Fathom’s musical landscape.

April 8—THE MICHAEL JAZZ TRIO

Paradiddle Records presents The Michael Jazz Trio and more. The Michael Jazz Trio consists of three brothers — 15-year-old Matthew on keyboard, 13-year-old David on alto and tenor sax, and 8-year-old Jordan on drums. The three were born and raised in Central Islip and according to their parents were musically inclined at a young age. Inspired by music legends like the late John Coltrane and Duke Ellington, the boys perform their own compositions and classic jazz and continue to fine-tune their talent while maintaining academic excellence. Their first album is being recorded and produced by Paradiddle Records of Huntington. Special guests to be announced.

NYFE brings their big band sound to the lobby with a unique sound that combines the roots of funk, soul, rhythm and blues and jazz, along with their own, one-of-a-kind arrangements and dynamic rhythms. The band describes their music as a throwback to early '70s soul-funk music like James Brown. NYFE features several members of Dynamic Stew, who were a big hit in 2006 at Live In the Lobby and the first Patchogue Jam in 2007 Combining the talents of Serena Fortier (vocals), Ray Holman (drums/vocals), Matt Fox (bass guitar), Jamey Zebrack (keys/vocals), Matty G (guitar), Mozard Pierre-Jacques (Trombone), Mike Farrell (Sax) and Nick Martino (trumpet), this band formed in 2007 and has since performed original music throughout the northeast. Each member is a master at his respective instrument, but all possess the virtue of harmony when playing together. Each member of the NYFE has a deep respect and enthusiasm for music and its ongoing creative process. The band just finished their debut album, "Funkonomic Stimulus Plan," which will be available at the show and on iTunes. For more information on, visit www.nyfunkexchange.com. We happily welcome back Claudia Jacobs and her group to open the show. Her terrific voice and great songs merge folk, rock, blues, funk and country and her set will kick off the night in grand style.
