Music Highlights
SAT
11/17: OLU DARA, CLUB HELSINKI, Great Barrington Ma- With one foot
in his native Mississippi Delta, and the other in NYC avant-garde
jazz, and everything else covering the world of musical possibilities,
Olu Dara comes back for the 8th anniversary of Club Helsinki in
high style. An accomplished trumpeter, notably with Art Blakey,
David Murray, and Henry Threadgill, he astonished his audience by
adding in guitar and vocals, recently singing alongside Cassandra
Wilson on his new release Neighborhoods. With his full band, he’s
been known to keep the house rocking late, and oh yes, he is the
father of hip-hop superstar Nas. 9 PM
SUN
11/11: GARAGE RUMBLE, Bearsville theater, woodstock- Kristen Garnier,
having been impressed by an Onteora High School battle of the bands,
saw some major talent developing at the local high school level
and was inspired. In tandem with 100.1 WDST Radio Woodstock, Nevessa
Productions, Poughkeepsie Live, SWR Amps, and Jackson Guitars, the
Rumble is back at Bearsville Theater for its 3rd year, with a repeat
performance from last year’s winner Lemonade Grenade. This
years panelists: Platinum songwriter Donna Lewis; Allaire studio
manager Mark McKenna; chillMedia NORTH promoter Elissa Jane Mastel;
Frank McGinnis, lead singer and guitarist from Frankie and His Fingers;
and Chronogram music editor (and contributing writer for Roll) Peter
Aaron. 3-8 PM
SAT
12/1: sonny landreth w/ Matt rae trio, towne crier, Pawling- Guitar
lovers have a lot to celebrate this month at the Towne Crier, with
Jim Weider’s Project Percolator on 11/24, and Arlen Roth on
12/7, but if you haven’t already, you owe it to yourself to
experience the uncanny Sonny Landreth. Softspoken, with a slightly
adenoidal Louisiana drawl, Landreth coaxes impossibly perfect sounds
from his electric slide guitar. John Hiatt, John Mayall, and Marshall
Crenshaw are among those who have called for his mighty axe, and
if that’s not good enough reason to check him out, go ahead,
stay home for all I care. No, really. 9 PM CONTINUE...
