Since 1992, the Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company (ESDC) has been the resident company of The Egg in Albany, NY. Pre- senting the uniquely American art form of contemporary modern dance as interpreted through the richly imagined choreography of Artistic Director Ellen Sinopoli, ESDC strives to engage both dance aficionados and the uninitiated into the exhilarating world of modern dance. The evening’s program includes three of the company’s exciting repertory pieces along with a preview performance of a new work to be presented at The Egg on January 20, 2012. A Gathering in Red, Photo by Gary Gold Departing, with music by Cornelius Dufallo, a virtuosic and versatile acoustic and electric violinist, captures the sweep and breath of his compelling score. “The dancers, dressed in red, seem blown like leaves or birds by soft breezes and high winds.” (Times Union) Brink is a dance which ingeniously dives into the disparate and compelling music of Dave Douglas, American trumpeter and two-time Gram- my nominated jazz musician. “This is a cool, ultra-hip work that devoured space while expending gobs of energy….” (Daily Gazette) Vooz-é-la is set to four songs by Zap Mama, whose eclectic mixture of styles hovers around soul, gospel, pygmy song, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. ESDC’s dancers are propelled and inspired by the acrobatic female voices of these extraordinary singers. The Albany Times Union said that this is “…a gorgeous, juicy dance, one of Sinopoli’s best…crisp, sensual and pure fun all at once….” To Sing, Laugh, Play, a preview of a new ESDC work, is athletic, serendipitous and filled with joy. This new dance soars to the music of contemporary classical composer John Adams with selections from his “John’s Book of Alleged Dances” Tickets are $25 adults; $10 children and student rush at the door. The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center is located at 120 Broad- way, Tivoli, NY.

  • DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC (Biography)
    DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC (biography) ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME MEMBER CHRIS HILLMAN AND THE DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC TO PERFORM IN A RARE APPEARANCE Joining Chris Hillman in this acoustic appearance are John Jorgenson on guitar/mandolin, Herb Pedersen on guitar and Bill Bryson on bass. Chris Hillman was one of the original members of The Byrds, which also included Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke. The Byrds were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. After his departure from the Byrds, Hillman, along with collaborator Gram Parsons, was a key figure in the development of country-rock. Hillman virtually defined the genre through his seminal work with the Byrds and later bands, The Flying Burrito Brothers and Manassas with Steven Stills. In addition to his work as a musician, Hillman is also a successful songwriter and his songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as; Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith, The Oak Ridge Boys, Beck, Steve Earl, Peter Yorn,Tom Petty, and Dwight Yoakam. In the 1980s Chris formed The Desert Rose Band which became one of country music’s most successful acts throughout the 1980s and 1990s, earning numerous ‘Top 10’ and ‘Number 1’ hits. The band’s success lead to three Country Music Association Awards, and two Grammy nominations. Although the Desert Rose Band disbanded in the early 1990s, they performed a reunion concert in 2008 and have since played a few shows together in select venues. Herb Pedersen began his career in Berkeley, California in the early 1960′s playing 5 string banjo and acoustic guitar with artists such as Jerry Garcia, The Dillards, Old and in the Way, David Grisman and David Nelson.

  • It's Jerry's Birthday Chatham County Line
    K k JULY 2014 VOL. 26 #7 H WOWHALL.ORG KWOW HALL NOTESK g k IT’S JERRY’S BIRTHDAY On Friday, August 1, KLCC and Dead Air present an evening to celebrate Jerry Garcia featuring two full sets by the Garcia Birthday Band. Jerry Garcia, famed lead guitarist, songwriter and singer for The Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band, among others, was born on August 1, 1941 in San Francisco, CA. Dead.net has this to say: “As lead guitarist in a rock environment, Jerry Garcia naturally got a lot of attention. But it was his warm, charismatic personality that earned him the affection of millions of Dead Heads. He picked up the guitar at the age of 15, played a little ‘50s rock and roll, then moved into the folk acoustic guitar era before becoming a bluegrass banjo player. Impressed by The Beatles and Stones, he and his friends formed a rock band called the Warlocks in late 1964 and debuted in 1965. As the band evolved from being blues-oriented to psychedelic/experi- mental to adding country and folk influences, his guitar stayed out front. His songwriting partnership with Robert Hunter led to many of the band’s most memorable songs, including “Dark Star”, “Uncle John’s Band” and the group’s only Top 10 hit, “Touch of Grey”. Over the years he was married three times and fathered four daughters. He died of a heart attack CHATHAM COUNTY LINE in 1995.” On Sunday, July 27, the Community Tightrope also marks a return to Sound Fans have kept the spirit of Jerry Garcia alive in their hearts, and have spread the spirit Center for the Performing Arts proudly wel- Pure Studios in Durham, NC, where the and the music to new generations.

  • For Immediate Release July 2016 Rare Jerry Garcia Band
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 2016 RARE JERRY GARCIA BAND PERFORMANCE OUT AUGUST 19TH VIA TWO-DISC ARCHIVAL SERIES RELEASE GARCIALIVE VOLUME SEVEN RECORDED NOVEMBER 8, 1976 AT SOPHIE’S IN PALO ALTO, CA PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED AND UNCIRCULATED TAPES FOUND BY FORMER GRATEFUL DEAD & JGB VOCALIST DONNA JEAN GODCHAUX Nashville, TN – On August 19, Round Records & ATO Records will release the two-disc GarciaLive Volume Seven: November 8th, 1976 – Jerry Garcia Band, a previously unreleased and uncirculated performance recorded at Sophie’s in Palo Alto, CA. The original reels, along with several other recordings, which have come to be known as the “Houseboat Tapes,” were only recently discovered by former Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux. The chance finding is the subject of a Q&A with Godchaux in the current issue of Relix. Pre-order for GarciaLive Vol. Seven can be found at Garcia Family Provisions (http://jerrygarcia.shop.musictoday.com/). Once a supermarket, Sophie’s was an unassuming and intimate venue where the Jerry Garcia Band played four times in 1976. The hall eventually became the Keystone Palo Alto and hosted the group many more times through the years. Palo Alto itself holds a distinctive place in Garcia’s history. After a brief stint in the Army, it was where Garcia settled and became fully committed to music in the early 1960’s when he was teaching guitar and playing in bands around the area. With former Elvis Presley drummer Ron Tutt manning the throne, longtime Garcia collaborator John Kahn on bass, Keith Godchaux on keys and Donna Jean Godchaux on backing vocals, this ensemble performed almost 70 shows that year and became known as one of the Garcia Band’s strongest lineups.

Sponsored by The Valley Advocate, 93.9 The River, WGBY TV57 and JR Lyman Co. About the Program "The American Beauty Project" is a special tribute concert to the Grateful Dead's most important and best-loved albums, Working Man's Dead and American Beauty. In January 2007, an all-star lineup of musicians that Relix magazine called "a dream team of performers" gave the premier of this concert in front of an over-flowing crowd at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden in New York City. The New York Times' Jon Pareles wrote that the concert gave "New life to a Dead classic... and mirrored the eclecticism of the Dead," and a Variety review said that the event brought "a back- porch feel to the canyons of Gotham's financial district. The perf's real fire came courtesy of acts that like to tear open the original structures of the source material and reassemble the parts afresh - an approach well-suited to the honorees' legacy." Now, a select group of those performers, including Ollabelle, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, Catherine Russell, and Jim Lauderdale are taking the show on the road.

One of its founders, Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for their entire thirty-year career (1965–1995). Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects, including the Saunders-Garcia Band (with longtime friend Merl Saunders), the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, the Garcia/Grisman acoustic duo, Legion of Mary, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage (which Garcia co-founded with John Dawson and David Nelson).
