9/15: SUZANNE VEGA/ DAVID BROMBERG AT ThE POUGHKEEPSiE RIVER ARTS
FESTIVAL— Suzanne Vega has had quite an eclectic career journey.
Her 80s phase found her in neo-folk chanteuse mode, garnering a
Best Female MTV Award (beating Cher, no less) with her hit “Luka.”
Later, an innocent acapella song from one of her albums got the
remix treatment, scoring a techno hit with “Tom’s Diner.”
Touring (with band) in support of her latest, Beauty and Crime (Blue
Note), she joins with Tarrytown’s own David Bromberg, a singer
and guitar virtuoso who’s played on over 100 records covering
almost every possible style of music. With the backing of the harmonious
Angel Band, Brombergshould get a good workout, followed by fireworks
by Legion Fireworks. Hudson River Arts Festival, www.bardavon.org,

MURALi CORYELL, ThE PAARhAUS BROThERS, AND ThE COURiERS AT UPAC—
Fans of white gospel will have much to celebrate with this Kingston
show. The Blackwood Brothers of Memphis are one of the most reknowned
gospel quartets in history, with over 200 albums, 8 Grammys, and
6 Dove Awards. They’ve backed up Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Tennessee
Ernie Ford. Murali Coryell is wellknown to Hudson Valley blues lovers,
and will be showing a less secular side of his talent. The Paarhaus
Brothers are a local gospel act that has been on 20-year hiatus,
while working in other areas of human service and ministry. The
Couriers hail from Harrisburg, and have also come out of retirement
to earn 3 Dove awards, and have a new release, “One Nation
Under God.” A night of uplifting music, and all the proceeds
go to provide medical assistance to the people of Malawi (Africa).
