The Cafferty Band- FREE
Thursday, October 23rd at 7:30PM
FREE
Back in the dim recesses of time (1978) and bands forgotten, four rockers from Cortland New York named Joe Leo, Bill Strong, Rick Plante, and Greg Bubacz decided that players didn't have to be from "The South" to play southern rock music....and they were determined to prove it. They gathered up Gary Butler and Steve Corey, two musicians who were tired of playing shabby clubs six nights a week all over the country, and formed The J. Cafferty Band. The band was named for Jim Cafferty, the only guy who had a place for the guys to practice!

Walking the road between Protestant and Catholic, he dreams of improving that reality. As part of the acclaimed Sands Family, one of the most important traditional groups in the early years of the Ireland’s folk revival, Tommy has worked to add beauty to the world and to point out where it still needs improvement.

Michael Lasser with Cindy Miller & Alan Jones - FREE Thursday, November 6th at 7PM
www.american-song.com
FREE

Walking Alone: The Songs of World War II Never before had popular songs been so direct an expression of the mood of America: stirring patriotic anthems, comic takes on military life, and -- more than any of the others -- love songs that ache with longing and loneliness. More than half a century later, even for those who weren’t there, the songs of the time still tell the stories of lovers separated, perhaps forever, played out against the larger theme of national purpose. They are among our most memorable songs. CDs & Book Signing after the performance
