We wish to provide a focal point for the encouragement of theatre and all it’s associated arts. The Naked Stage: Works in Progress serves as an incubator and laboratory for actors, writers, directors, dancers, composers, musicians and designers to practice and explore their craft free from the constraints of production schedules, budgets, criticism and public performance.

Tues 4/7 The Naked Stage presents a staged reading of CRIMINAL MINDS by Robin Swicord 7:30 pm Lead Artist: Molly McKenna. Featuring Joe DeSane, Molly McKenna and Josh Perl. CRIMINAL MINDS is the tale an escaped convict, his beleaguered girlfriend, and an amnesiac who may be a criminal mastermind.

Robin Swicord is a successful screenwriter who was an Oscar nominee this year for THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. While in New York, she wrote "Last Days at the Dixie Girl Cafe," for some fellow graduates of her alma mater who were setting up a theatre company.

She wrote and directed the recent film version of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" starring Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon.

R.P. McMurphy, a charming rougue, contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental hospital rather than in a prison. This, he learns, was a mistake. He clashes with the head nurse and wages war on the institution that confines him; he threatens to tear down the thin boundaries between the sane and the insane. McMurphy leads inmates into revolution and out of introversion, brightening up an otherwise terrifyingly gray world. This is a contemporary tragedy - at times hilarious, at others heroic, but consistently liberating. Winner of both the 2001 Tony Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play. "Cuckoo is captivating." N.Y. Post. "Scarifying and powerful." N.Y. Times.

Featuring Joe DeSane, Rachel Viola, Nick Fondulis, Josh Gladstone, Tanya Tavereau, Josh Perl, Anne Seelbach, Michael Nathanson and Andrew Botsford. Originally produced by the New York Theater Workshop. "In an eminently playable, witty adaptation

by Tony Kushner, THE ILLUSION comes across as downright entertaining, not an adjective anyone who reads Corneille in college is likely to expect. Unlike his better known plays, which have heroic subjects, THE ILLUSION is concerned with domestic matters the alienation of parents from children, marital infidelity. While it is serious about these subjects, it puts them in an unusual context: A father has consulted a magician about his estranged son, and the magician shows him scenes from his son's life...The comedy is elegant, full of depth..." Howard Kissel, Daily News "What a fascinating, totally theatrical excursion we're in for in this 17th Century fairytale-fable first spun by French classical dramatist Pierre Corneille."

Winner of the 1990 Tony Award and Outer Critics Circle Award. A powerful and deeply affecting stage version of one of the masterpieces of American literature. Holding to the simplicity and directness of the original novel, the play uses the sparest of technical means to convey its timeless message of the persistence and strength of the human spirit as it battles against the adversities of nature and an uncaring society. "…majestic…leaves one feeling that the generosity of spirit he saw in a brutal country is not so much lost as waiting once more to be found." —NY Times. "This is, overall, a thrilling theatrical achievement that gets its power from the still sharp relevance of its human message…" —NY Post. "THE GRAPES OF WRATH is a lesson in history, stagecraft, and truth that we cannot afford not to learn." —NY Magazine.

Featuring Joe DeSane, Shashi Balooja, Josh Gladstone, Kate Mueth, Jackie Fenley, Judi Roth, David Weinstein, Ellen Paul,Joe Mintzer, Andrew Berg, Michael Nathanson, Joseph Brondo, Morgan Duke, Lisa Bonner, Rachel Viola and an ensemble cast TBA. THE WAY OF ALL FISH by Elaine May: The first of the three hit comedies produced Off Broadway under the title Power Plays, this is a ping pong power game played between a self absorbed executive and her seemingly drab secretary. Over an impromptu dinner together, the executive's condescending graciousness drains away as the secretary explains her fantasy of gaining immortality by killing someone famous and successful someone like her boss. "Oodles of laughs." N.Y Daily News. BOY MEETS GIRL by Wendy Wasserstein: Dan and Molly, two successful, thirty-something New Yorkers, are afraid of making a commitment. With the help of their psychiatrists, they finally find the courage to tie the knot under the altar before Her Majesty, the Queen. GOD by Woody Allen: Set in an empty Greek amphitheater, this mad play within a play switches back and forth between ancient Athens and modern Broadway. A Greek actor and a writer are discussing how to end a play. Actors, including Doris Levine from Great Neck, Blanche DuBois, and Groucho Marx, pop out of the audience. Peppered with metaphysical and philosophical questions, the play skids along farcically until the actor and writer conclude that it lacks a beginning as well as an end.

THE PARRISH ART MUSEUM 25 Job’s Lane, Southampton 283-2118 2/8 – 4/12 Damaged Romanticism: A Mirror of Modern Emotion Fifteen internationally recognized contemporary artists create paintings, sculptures, installations, video, and films that stress emotions without relying on the finality of classic Romanticism. Belonging to neither a style nor a traditional “school,” the artists and works of art featured in this exhibition embody an outlook forged in often heartbreaking disappointment but never resigned to the social conditions that precipitated the initial pain for failure. This collusion or juncture between a romantic ideal (or idealism) and the often harsh and depressing reality of contemporary life, particularly in the aftermath of recent natural and man-made disasters, has made the subject the cornerstone of the creative subtext for the artists whose work is the focus of this exhibition. These artists, like their literary and artistic antecedents, embody an outlook forged in the realities of everyday discouragement, mitigated by either a stoic determination or an inexorable sense of hope and optimism. The resulting artworks capture the existential dilemma of the human condition.

Sat 4/4, 4/11, 4/18 Exhibition Tour 2:00 pm Free with Museum Admission Enjoy a docent-led tour of the current exhibition.

Mon 4/6 First Monday tour for seniors 1:00 pm Free Seniors enjoy free admission and a docent-led tour of the current exhibition the first Monday of each month. Light refreshments are served.

Maria Jose Arjona's performance pieces reveal a clear meta-interest in artistic process, as well as a fascination with the capacities of the body and an aim to produce new languages.

MONTAUK POINT STATE PARK 631-668-5000 Seals on Long Island : During the cooler months, some special visitors from the north come to Long Island starting in mid-November. They return to Northern New England and Canada in May. Seals belonging to the Pinniped family (meaning “feather footed” or “winged”), are true seals which lack external earflaps, have torpedo shaped bodies for fast swimming. They have long, sharp claws to help them dig into the ice while climbing out of the water or onto the beach. Unlike sea lions, their front flippers are short and they are referred to as “earless” seals. Their hind flippers are webbed and pointed backwards to help them swim. They have been recorded swimming over 12 miles per hour and have been spotted swimming 70 miles off of the coast of Long Island. Seals haul out of the water to rest, sleep, and warm up in the sun’s heat. While on land sunning themselves, they are often seen in a “banana” shaped position. The seals we see on Long Island are most often Harbor seals, but there are a few other types, such as harp seals, grey seals, hooded seals, and ringed seals. Numbers have been increasing in past years into the thousands around Long Island due to the changing location of their food sources and the changing temperatures of their watery habitat. Most of the seals that visit Long Island are younger seals. These marine mammals eat a variety of crustaceans, fish and shellfish like mussels, clams, oysters and squid.

Seal Observation Walks Dates & Times: Join Mike Bottini on a 3 mile (round trip) hike to view seals and learn about their habits, behavior, and population trends in the Long Island region. Dress warm and wear comfortable hiking shoes; we will be outdoors for 2.5 hours. Binoculars recommended but not necessary. Mike will bring a spotting scope that everyone will get a chance to use. This program is sponsored by New York State Parks, and is scheduled to coincide with low tide, when seals are most likely to be basking on the rocks.

Their winter nature exploration in the field behind the museum was lots of fun, and now it’s April and they’re excited to see what new things they can find outdoors and record in their nature logs.

After the story, children will come indoors and make a pop-up card with some of their favorite creepy crawlies popping up to say hello! Leader: Crystal Possehl & Timmy Wolf. Recommended for children ages 7 and under. There will be a $3 materials fee. Advance reservations are essential as there is a limited enrollment.

Sun 4/26 Cavity-Nesting Birds of Long Island 9:00 am Sag Harbor Many birds use holes in trees for nesting. The size of the hole in the tree determines what bird is likely to nest there.

Sat 4/4 INTERNATIONAL SIDEWALK ASTRONOMY NIGHT& 100 HOURS OF ASTRONOMY Admission: FREE (although any donation to help support our programs would be appreciated).

Three years ago, legendary inventor and founder of the sidewalk astronomy movement, John Dobson, had another ingenious idea: get everyone around the world out on the the streets with their telescopes at the same time and show as many people as possible the wonders of the night sky; International Sidewalk Astronomy Night was born and is now in its third year. 2009 is also special because it is the International Year of Astronomy, which marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first scientific observations using a telescope. As part of the anniversary celebration, 100 Hours of Astronomy will occur worldwide and consist of educational outreach and sidewalk astronomy programs held between April 2-5.

Custer will join in the festivities by setting up telescopes on the streets of Southold and Greenport; back at the observatory, there will be tours of the night sky and, at 10:00 PM, a viewing of "A Sidewalk Astronomer," a documentary about John Dobson.

Sat 4/25 EXPANSION, BLACK HOLES, THE BIG BANG: HOW DO WE KNOW ABOUT THESE THINGS? 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm Suggested Donation: $10 Members, $13 Non-Members, $5 Full-Time Students.

We know an enormous amount about our Galaxy, other galaxies, and the Universe as a whole. How can we know about these remote and strange phenomena when all we have to work with is light (or photons) collected by telescopes attached to (or very nearby) the Earth? The answer is that our confidence arises from an interaction of observations and theories; the most successful explanations of cosmological phenomena do a much better job of explaining the observations than any rival explanation, and fit well with other physics results that are well established in the laboratory. Along with discussion of these matters, some of the basic observations that are used to establish the properties of our quirky Universe will be described. Presenter: David W. Hogg has been on the faculty of the NY University Department of Physics since 2001. His interests are in cosmology, galaxies, and the making of fundamental measurements with enormous astrophysical data sets. He is a member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Collaboration and works with data from the GALEX, Hubble, and Spitzer Space Telescopes, among other facilities.

Have you ever tried mead? Maybe you tried mead while visiting Europe or at a medieval festival? Have you been told that mead was like beer, a beer with honey or even a wine with honey? Mead has some similarities to these beverages, but it is so much more it deserves its own category. Mead is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of honey as its primary sugar source and is often referred to as honey wine. Being made from honey, one would naturally expect it to be very sweet and although it usually is, it can actually range from dry to very sweet. Mead is usually still, though it can be made sparkling and can range from a mild low alcoholic content up to very high. Mead is arguably the oldest alcoholic beverage on the planet with some evidence dating it back approximately 10,000 years. Due to many different cultural and financial reasons, mead has fallen out of favor over the many years and now we call it the 'oldest alcoholic beverage no one has ever heard of.' A far cry from its hey day when it was referred to as the 'Nectar of the Gods.' Mead can be produced in many variations including a plain honey wine (traditional - honey only), flavored with fruit (melomel), spices (metheglin), vegetables, or any combination of ingredients limited only by the imagination of the wine maker and the resources he has at hand.

Darden, dubbed 'the miniature Tina Turner' after her incredible voice and style, had previously toured throughout Europe and North America as a member of numerous different musical acts. After years of doing this, she finally realized that what she really craved was a band of her own. As a result, Dawnette took it upon herself to recruit the most outstanding musicians she could find with intentions of creating a musical masterpiece.

Fri 4/10 Danny Kalb 8:00 pm $10 "Nobody plays like Dan..."- Al Kooper… "You really got to me." - Muddy Waters… "Always a powerful guitarist." - Bob Dylan… I’m Gonna Live The Life I Sing About is the album that legendary guitarist Danny Kalb says "Is the record I always wanted to make" and marks his debut on Sojourn Records. I’m Gonna Live The Life I Sing About was produced by Mark Ambmrosino and recorded at The Madhouse studio in Queens, NY featuring Kalb performing in both electric and acoustic trio settings. The bulk of these performances were captured in 2006 through 2007 but other tracks are gems that Kalb has been stockpiling since the late 1990’s, plucked from relaxed periodic sessions with his various live line-ups. Kalb’s playing throughout is dazzling, yet understated, no-nonsense yet deeply emotional -- the work of an undisputed Old Master.

Danny Kalb has long been recognized as one of America's foremost guitarists. He is best known as the founding member of the legendary the Blues Project along with Al Kooper, a band that became one of the best-loved of the mid '60's, developing a strong national following and influencing untold numbers of aspiring young blues guitarists. Born into a musical family, Danny was raised in Mt. Vernon, NY. He spent his childhood surrounded by his parents' folk, blues, jazz and classical records. He picked up the guitar at the age of 13 and hasn't put it down since. He attended the University of Wisconsin but couldn't resist the pull of Greenwich Village which was in the midst of a musical explosion boasting the likes of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Richie Havens, Eric Anderson and Odetta. A protege of the great Dave Van Ronk, Danny established himself on this seminal folk and blues revival scene, first as a solo performer and session player with Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger and others, and later in his own right and in The New Strangers, his duo with Sam Charters. He absorbed the scene, jamming with blues greats Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Danny founded the Blues Project in 1965. One of the classic bands of the period, their The Blues Project Live at Cafe Au Go-Go won great critical acclaim and won them their first gold record. On this album Danny's signature tune "Alberta," a soft ballad and "Down To Louisiana," a rocking electric blues, established him as one of the preeminent blues players of his generation. Four albums followed that cemented their place in rock history. In the years that followed, he formed other bands and spent several years in retreat, living mainly in California. During this time, he continued to perfect his art and perform for his loyal following. He also contributed to recordings by Judy Collins, Phil Ochs and Dave Van Ronk among others. In addition to playing all dimensions of the blues guitar -- both electric and traditional -- he explored other genres of guitar composition: modern atonal and open tunings. Danny is also a teacher and has taught seminars and clinics. Danny has performed as a solo artist and in trio settings up and down the East Coast in recent years, and this is the part of his career that’s inspired I’m Gonna Live The Life I Sing About. Gritty blues, originals, and standards, his touch on the guitar is as exciting and individual as ever. From folk to blues to jazz, Danny's experimental mindset and talent played significant part in redefining musical genres and boundaries and he is still an influence, as ahead now as he was when he began.

Sat 4/18 David Bromberg Solo! 8:00 pm $65 VIP / $50 GA Try Me One More Time: The musicians’ musician and fans’favorite returns with his first studio CD in 17 years; roots music from a master!

Roots music fans around the world will rejoice in the release of Try Me One More Time, the first new CD in almost two decades by guitarist/vocalist David Bromberg, a master practitioner of folk, blues, bluegrass and other musical genres. This new recording is undiluted David: one man, one acoustic guitar, and a repertoire of mostly traditional material performed with the intimate, assured touch of a musician who has nothing to prove. Originally a “must-have” session man for everyone from Bob Dylan to Jay & the Americans and subsequently a hardtouring bandleader and recording artist with an enthusiastic following, Bromberg gradually phased himself out of the continual record-tourrecord cycle starting in 1980. “I got burned out, but I didn’t know it was burnout,” he reflects. “I thought I wasn’t a musician anymore. I wasn’t writing or practicing. And I didn’t want to be one of those musicians who ends up ‘phoning it in.’ Music was too important to me to treat it that way.” So he switched his focus from performing to studying, moving to Chicago in 1980 to attend and graduate from the Kenneth Warren School of Violin Making. Based in the Windy City until 2002, when he relocated to Wilmington, Del., to open a violin store, Bromberg has continued to tour periodically, but has mostly stayed away from recording studios, with 1990’s Sideman Serenade his last album until now. In liner notes as conversational as his distinctive, low-key vocals, Bromberg maintains that Try Me One More Time is the first record he’s made where he “wasn’t trying to impress anybody . . . I’m just doing the tunes.” Nonetheless, the outcome can’t fail to delight listeners who appreciate an understated virtuoso playing and singing the music he loves. Bromberg began studying guitar-playing when he was 13 and eventually enrolled in Columbia University as a musicology major. The call of the Greenwich Village folk scene in the mid-’60s drew David to the downtown clubs and coffeehouses, where he could watch and learn from the best performers, including primary sources such as his inspiration and teacher, the Reverend Gary Davis. An unexpected and wildly successful solo spot at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival in Great Britain led to a solo deal with Columbia Records, for whom David recorded four albums. His eponymous 1971 debut not only included the mock-anguished “Suffer to Sing the Blues,” a Bromberg original that became an FM radio staple, but also “The Holdup,” a songwriting collaboration with former Beatle George Harrison, whom he met at his manager’s Thanksgiving dinner festivities. Harrison also played slide guitar on the track. Through Bromberg’s manager, Al Aronowitz, David also met the Grateful Dead and wound up with four of their members, including Jerry Garcia, playing on his next two albums. With the release of Try Me One More Time, David continues his musical revitalization, playing shows on his own, backed by (and supporting) Angel Band, his own David Bromberg Quartet, and reunions of the David Bromberg Big Band, the configuration depending on the circumstance.

Sat 4/18 Nancy Atlas 10:30 pm $15 Thurs 4/23 Telly 8:00 pm $10 Having no formal musical education to speak of or family member with an old guitar to pass down, this “singer/songwriter by default” has been

finding his way around the music scene through lots of trial and error. Numerous stints as the uncertain frontman of uncertain bands that never made it out of the basement frustrated him into going it alone. His style was born from the bars and beach parties he’s been performing at since college. From pop ballads to blues ditties, hard-driving rock to funked up freestyle jams and with an ever-evolving cast of talent, the essence of great songwriting shines through whether he’s backed up by a band or up there alone, just a man and his guitar.

Thurs 4/23 Bastards of Boom 9:00 pm $10 Bastards of Boom are the illegitimate children of Escola de Samba Boom. They take Brazilian rhythms and mix them up with Rock, Electronica, and World melodies to create the ultimate groove machine. If you don’t find yourself dancing to this you ought to see a doctor to make sure you still have a pulse!

Fri 4/24 Kulprits 8:00 pm $10 Fri 4/24 Pumping Ethyl 10:00 pm $10 Pumping Ethyl was formed out of the ashes of some of the premier cover and original bands in the Tri-State area. Coming together initially in early 2006, it wasn't until early 2007 that the lineup stabilized. Every member of the band was previously in a signed / managed band or was a session musician. Bringing a rare combination of musicianship and showmanship to the table, they are a breath of fresh air in the cover band scene. Refusing to settle for mediocrity, not a gig goes by without them winning new fans.

Sat 4/25 Battle of the Bands 7:00 pm $5 Glazzies; Arcane; Jamie Ellis; Sound Wave Band; Psycho Rain; Spitten Kitten; The Third Estate.

Sat 4/25 Hoot 10:00 pm $10 Sat 4/25 The Creamsicles 11:00 pm $10 Throw Parliament Funkadelic, Led Zepplin, Prince, James Brown, and Queen in a blender, freeze, and take a bite, and you'd have the New York based band THE CREAMSICLES. From Burning Man, to The New York City Marathon, to the National Theater of Japan, THE CREAMSICLES have toured and performed extensively. Made up of John Sully (songwriter/guitar/vocals), Craig Gottlieb (bass), and Marcello Pantano (drums), THE CREAMSICLES not only make great Rock music, but bring a level of polish, showmanship, and fullon "get your groove on" style to their performances that is in short supply on the indie circuit currently. Formed in 2005, the band has been performing steadily from the beginning.Recent gigs in the New York area include Mercury Lounge, B.B. King's, The Stephen Talkhouse, Fat Baby, Fontana's, Crash Mansion, and The Knitting Factory. They have also become popular on the Festival circuit, and have performed for The Guinness Festival, The Sarasota Arts Festival in Florida, and City Meals on Wheels Media Battle of the Bands, to name a few. Their audience has grown exponentially since the release of their debut album, "The Perfect Girl" in 2006.

Sun 4/26 Elliott Murphy / Jann Close 7:00 $20 More then thirty-five years have passed since the release of Elliott Murphy's ground-breaking first album Aquashow in 1973 (recently declared an Album Classic by the UK's prestigious UNCUT magazine) and since that time Elliott Murphy, singer-songwriter, rock troubadour, indefatigable road warrior (over 100 shows a year!) and prolific author of fiction has once again proven his dedication to his music and his commitment to his growing legion of fans with the release of his new CD Notes From the Underground featuring eleven new Elliott Murphy songs (five of which are co-written with long-time guitarist Olivier Durand. The album is already being hailed as his best in a decade (All Music Guide). Aside from Elliott’s French guitarist extraordinaire Olivier Durand Notes From the Underground features keyboardist Kenny Margolis (Willie Deville, Cracker) and Murphy's touring band of drummer Alan Fatras and bassist Laurent Pardo as well as Elliott's son Gaspard on guitar on featured track "Frankenstein's Daughter".Born to a show business family in New York, Elliott began his career by winning the New York State Battle of the Bands in 1966 followed by a troubadour like odyssey in Europe where he played on the streets in Amsterdam, Paris and Rome including a bit part in Federico Fellini's film Roma. Returning to the US he quickly secured a recording contract and following the critical success of Aquashow came in quick succession Lost Generation (Produced by Doors producer Paul Rothschild), Night Lights (featuring Billy Joel), Just A Story From America (featuring Phil Collins and Mick Taylor) and many others albums. Highlights from recent albums include an extraordinary duet with Bruce Springsteen ("Selling The Gold") who often invites Elliott on stage with him during his European tours. Murphy is also a published author of various collections of short stories, the most recently being Café Notes (Hachette) and two novels Cold And Electric and the neo-western Poetic Justice (Hachette.) A new novel Tramps is expected in 2009. Elliott lives in Paris, France.

GLENN HOROWITZ BOOKSELLER 87 Newtown Lane, East Hampton 324-5511 Mon thru Sat: 10am to 5pm; Sun: 12pm to 4pm 4/4 – 5/20 Matthew Higgs: Never Look Back/Pressed/Fifteen People Present Their Favorite Book [after Kosuth] Matthew Higgs is an artist, a curator, a writer, a publisher and one of the truly vital forces shaping contemporary art. This an exhibition in three parts, with sections entitled Never Look Back; Pressed; and Fifteen People Present Their Favorite Book [After Kosuth], which demonstrates the variety of his creative work. Never Look Back is an exhibition of new work; it consists of framed book pages and photographs of books that are framed and hung on gallery walls. They are readymade art objects unaltered but for their re-contextualization as art. Higgs works with their text, layout and design to make art that is by turns playful, wry, knowing, or reflective. Pressed is an exhibition of letterpress prints by Cary Leibowitz, Peter Doig, Kay Rosen, Dave Muller, Rirkrit Tiravanija and others, including several published by White Columns, an alternative exhibition space in New York City where Higgs has been the director and head curator since 2004. The central orienting point for the show is an installation of books entitled Fifteen People Present Their Favorite Book [After Kosuth]. This is a re-staging of a little known work by Joseph Kosuth from 1967 in which Kosuth took books chosen by Carl Andre, Robert Morris, Sol Lewitt and others and presented them as an installation in the Lannis Gallery. By re-staging this pioneering piece of conceptual art (this time using books chosen by Wade Guyton, Adam McEwen, Richard Prince and others) Higgs is both calling attention to an overlooked piece of art history, and using it to signal toward the conceptual underpinnings of his own work. Fifteen People Present Their Favorite Book [After Kosuth] is a work of art but also an act of curation. It has not been made in the usual sense and so it blurs the line between the creative work of an artist and that of a curator. And, as a work after Kosuth, it makes no claim of originality but relies instead on an appropriated idea. By failing in such an exemplary way to be a skillfully made and original work, Higgs’ installation creates a series of challenges to traditional definitions of art. The questions it raises are fundamental to any understanding of the multi-faceted work Higgs has made throughout his career. By ignoring the usual boundaries that would delineate the role of the artist, the curator, the writer, et cetera, Matthew Higgs has defined a singular role for himself and thereby become a figure of central importance in the art world today. Matthew Higgs is represented by Murray Guy Gallery in New York City and director of White Columns, which celebrated its fortieth anniversary this year. For more information about the artist or this exhibition please contact Glenn Horowitz Bookseller via email or phone: info@GHbookseller.com, 631-324-5511.

5/23 – 6/23 Bill Burke: Destrukto This exhibition is the first devoted to Bill Burke's Destrukto series. Also on view will be a collection of one-of-a kind maquettes and notebooks that Burke created over several decades making artist's books. Burke's work is visceral and immediate, but behind the action and explosions, the exotic locales, gruesome scenes, and outré material there is a rigorous examination of photographic conventions. Throughout his career Burke has continually called into question the idea that the camera is, or could ever be, a disinterested tool, objective recorder of events, or device for the scientific collection of data. Instead, he revels in the inherent subjectivity of the photographic image, making art and books with a vitality that comes from being as untidy and irreducible as the world around us.

One enters the garden passing the fish pond and through a gate surrounded by rhododendrons. A Japanese dry garden features conifers, shrubs, a hand-carved lantern, a meandering river of sand-colored gravel with a stone bridge, and focal points of large boulders. Follow a path from the deck to a romantic vine-enclosed shower, continue winding through the woodland garden with ferns and bamboo where a pond and bench create a resting spot. The natural feeling offers a strong contrast to the controlled look of the viewing garden.

Participants who sign up ahead of time will have the opportunity to be named on the garden's dedication plaque, if they are able to raise over $250 in pledges toward the effort (on their own or through sponsorships). Proceeds benefit garden maintenance and educational programs. Join us afterwards (12-2) for refreshments and an art opening inside the office (see below).

Sat 5/16 First Light Party for the Dome’s New 25” Obsession Telescope 9:00 pm Free Tues., May 19, 9:00 PM, Raindate. In October 2008, Suffolk County Community College placed on loan at Custer it's 25" Obsession telescope; we are grateful to Ted Koukounas, Chair of Science and Math at SCCC, for making this possible. Since the scope arrived, a team of skilled Custerites have been working hard to retrofit it with a tracking servo-mechanism, and to design and machine revolutionary optics so observers can look through the eyepiece without climbing a high ladder. As with every major project, there have been set-backs along the way but the work is finally complete. So join us on this night to have a truly amazing observing experience and to celebrate not only the largest telescope in any public observatory on Long Island, but possibly the only Dobsonian telescope that has risen to such heights!

LONG ISLAND MEADERY 1347 Lincoln Avenue Suite 11 Holbrook NY 11741 285-7469 Have you ever heard of mead? Have you ever tried mead? Maybe you tried mead while visiting Europe or at a medieval festival? Have you been told that mead was like beer, a beer with honey or even a wine with honey? Mead has some similarities to these beverages, but it is so much more it deserves its own category. Mead is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of honey as its primary sugar source and is often referred to as honey wine. Being made from honey, one would naturally expect it to be very sweet and although it usually is, it can actually range from dry to very sweet. Mead is usually still, though it can be made sparkling and can range from a mild low alcoholic content up to very high. Mead is arguably the oldest alcoholic beverage on the planet with some evidence dating it back approximately 10,000 years. Due to many different cultural and financial reasons, mead has fallen out of favor over the many years and now we call it the 'oldest alcoholic beverage no one has ever heard of.' A far cry from its hey day when it was referred to as the 'Nectar of the Gods.' Mead can be produced in many variations including a plain honey wine (traditional - honey only), flavored with fruit (melomel), spices (metheglin), vegetables, or any combination of ingredients limited only by the imagination of the wine maker and the resources he has at hand.

Debbie Cosgrove who was the lead singer for Europa, the R&B band founded by Porter in the late 70's has graced the stage often with the trio and is a featured guest performer at many shows.

Fri 5/15 Lone Sharks 11:00 pm $10 5/16 Dave Wakeling and The English Beat 8:00 pm $70 all tickets Dave Wakeling takes the stage time and again, touring across the States, Canada, the UK and beyond. He does it for two reasons: First, he loves to play music, period. Second, his job here on Earth is to bring a message of love, unity and a steady, rhythmic groove of danceable songs with a message to the masses. Fans see him as an icon and to the young bands coming up he's the elder statesman of ska. His swooning croon has been covered by such rock luminaries as Peter Townshend, Eddie Vedder and Elvis Costello. He's repeatedly referred to in the press now as a "legacy artist" and an "icon": He learned what those terms actually mean early in 2006 when, much to his surprise, bemusement, and eternal joy, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame contacted him and asked him for his trademark Vox teardrop guitar, to bed displayed in a place of honour alongside the axes of Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. Truly a wonderful and humbling experience for a working class boy from Brum! Dave is currently entering a musical renaissance, and fresh off this legacy moment, Dave is planning on going into the studio to lay down two new albums. Dave also continues to tour as The English Beat, as he had done for the last three decades, with an amazing all-star ska backing band playing the hits of The English Beat, General Public, and his new songs. Expect the unexpected and prepare to be blown away by the everchanging King of Ska! Sat 5/16 Booga Sugar 11:00 pm $20 Ultimate 70’s rock disco band.

Fri 5/22 Easy Star Allstars 8:00 pm $35 In its 12 year history, New York City’s Easy Star Records has produced two of the best-selling and trendsetting reggae albums of the decade – the Easy Star All-Stars’ Dub Side of the Moon and Radiodread – while building an international brand that has come to signify quality and class.

The independent label has created an impressive body of work that includes those above-mentioned in-house productions, along with progressive recordings from envelope-pushing acts like John Brown’s Body and Ticklah; reissues of classic reggae from the vaults of Sugar Minott and Linval Thompson; new music from reggae legends The Meditations and Sister Carol; and collaborations with international reggae stars like Luciano, Anthony B and Morgan Heritage. Easy Star has steadily built a scene that extends in many directions, following any path where reggae leads, bringing together young producers and musicians, reggae stars, and even artists outside the genre who have been influenced by Jamaican music,

like Citizen Cope and blues musician/musicologist Corey Harris. The label manages its in-house musical collective/touring band The Easy Star All-Stars, who in the past five years have played over 200 shows, including tours in the US, UK, France, Italy, Israel, Ireland, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Chile, Poland, Croatia and Canada. Dub Side of the Moon and Radiodread have formed the backbone of a growing franchise of reggae re-inventions of classic albums, with the next entry in the series due in 2009. Easy Star has also developed a strong sense of how to market reggae to both core genre fans and a mass audience, leading to recent work consulting on marketing for albums such as Gov’t Mule’s Mighty High. Easy Star’s musical director, Michael Goldwasser, produced albums in 2007 for Corey Harris and Israeli band Hatikva 6, bringing the Easy Star sound further outside the family. And Easy Star has raised its profile as a lifestyle brand through events such as Easy Star Reggae Tuesdays, which was one of the longest-running weekly reggae parties in New York from 1998-2004.

Fri 5/22 Booga Sugar 11:00 pm $25 Ultimate 70’s rock disco band.

Sat 5/23 Lez Zeppelin 8:00 pm $60 all tickets Since forming in 2004, the New York City-based quartet has toured throughout the United States and Europe to become the first and foremost female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board. Although, LEZ ZEPPELIN stays true to the musically audacious spirit of the original, delivering the legendary rock band’s blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at what often are sold-out frenzied shows around the world, the four women that make for the four essentially diverse elements of the band bring their own unique energy and passion to the music. Indeed, this may be the thing that serves most to set them apart. But then, there is also the seamless and strangely appropriate way in which LEZ ZEPPELIN inject their gender-bending performance into material that is often thought of as an historically male expression. For those who believe this to be the case, all that can be said is: times have changed. Live, the group takes its lead from what Led Zeppelin did in performance, seeking to create an intense experience from the in-the-moment interaction between all the players to both recount and reinvent the musical moment for the audience. In the studio, the band is equally committed to garnering the spirit and authenticity of the original and called on legendary producer/engineer, Eddie Kramer, to produce the group’s debut self-titled album, which was released in July 2007. Kramer, of course, sat behind the desk on as many as five of Led Zeppelin’s records, and is also renown for his work with Jimi Hendrix, Kiss, Lauren Hill and AC/DC. Although it was clear from the very first gigs that the group was doing something out of the ordinary for audiences hungry to hear this music played live, things reached a turning point when in 2006, Chuck Klosterman, formerly of SPIN magazine, called LEZ ZEPPELIN “the most powerful all-female band in rock history.” More press kudos followed; The New York Times raved that “Strapping on the double-necked Gibson with attitude to burn, this all-girl quartet pays tribute to its swaggering namesake Led Zeppelin, ripping through the catalog with blazing accuracy;” Bob Stanley of The Times of London hailed, “they are the best band I’ve seen all year, no question;” and CNN.com and Reuters ran front page features that called the group so “electrifying” they are “driving club audiences to a frenzy.”

Over the past year alone, the group has been featured on VH1, MTV, CNN, FUSE and CBS Good Morning, among other major news networks and has been the subject of full-length features in leading magazines and daily papers across the world. The band has also become the first “tribute” band to play major rock festivals, including Bonnaroo (Manchester, TN), where the group played in front of an audience of 20,000; Download Festival (UK), Rock Am-Ring and Rock-im-Park (Germany) and the Voodoo Festival in New Orleans (USA). Even so, there are still skeptics who dare to ask: Can four women pull off the exuberant, powerful and musically intricate performances for which Led Zeppelin are known? Come and see.

Sat 5/23 Nancy Atlas 11:00 pm $25 Sun 5/24 Martin Sexton 8:00 pm $125 VIP / $110 General Admission One of the most talked-about recent arrivals to the "new folk" acoustic music scene-- guitarist, singer and songwriter with an amazing vocal range.

Sun 5/24 Winston Irie 11:00 pm $25 Winston (Irie) Sumner had a childhood filled with the love music from his mother Stella Crowther Sumner and grand aunt Jany Morgan who inspired him. Winston sung at a variety of talent shows and other programs in his hometown blessed with those inspirations. He was inspired by R&B, Rock and artists such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Gladys Knight, Jim Reeves, Bob Andy, Dobby Dobson, Daddy U Roy, Jimmy Cliff, Toots & the Maytals and the great Bob Marley. In 1979 Winston migrated to North America and settled with his family in Brooklyn, New York.

After observing different artists and DJ styles, Winston formulated his unique style of singing. He appears at live stage shows, free styling and showing his national ability to deliver various song styles and vocal ranges, allowing him to gain a huge fan base wherever he performs.

Winston's first recording was in 1983. "Tribute to Ironman", a record produced by Albert Punch a/k/a Punchie on the Omniscope label, "Slave Driver & Sometime Feelings" were later released on 12 inch vinyl for the Phantom label, followed up by another single "Jah Vibes" in the midnineties for Quality Time Records. This single drew attention of DJs and club promoters. These releases received good airplay on many AM & FM radio stations. As a singer on the reggae scene, Winston has performed at numerous benefit functions for a variety of different causes. Events such as AIDS/HIV, Children, Cancer, and Educational Research. He often has to juggle his time to perform with his own band Selective Security, The Hot Heads, High Fashion Rockers, Thunder Bolt HiFi, Natural Sound and his buddy Saxemillion,. There are many others, but they are too

numerous to mention. The urban group The Hot Heads got wind of Winston Irie's unique vocal style and asked him to join the group as Co-Lead vocalist with Michael Reiss; after finishing the first CD Urban Dwelling, the label Flip Records signed the Hot Heads in 1995. Together they completed 3 CDs, Urban Dwelling, World Wide Vibe and the 1997 release "Land Mines". The track "Slide" from the Urban Dwelling CD was featured on the HBO series The Sopranos. This talented man serves the heartbeat of the drum and bass flavored with the musical essence of sound and words, which is the front line of music called reggae. Winston has shared the bill and jammed with other great artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Martha Reeves, Richie Havens, A Tribe Called Quest, Paul Schaeffer and R&B greats The Drifters. In the reggae world he has opened for Jimmy Cliff, Joseph Hill (Culture), King Yellowman, Third World, Steel Pulse, Toots & the Maytals. Winston Irie is phenomenal in his own right. Look ahead for he is on his way! The long awaited CD Orthodoxy is now available; stay tuned for upcoming songs "Children of Darfur" and "No Time to Lose". For bookings contact 917-806-1951.

Mon 5/25 Lucinda Roberts 8:00 pm $10 Tue 5/26 Trivia Night! 8:00 pm $10 Tue 5/26 Industry Release Party with Creamsicles & Heartless Devils 10:00 pm $10 Wed 5/27 Serena Ryder 8:00 pm $15 Serena Ryder has already left an indelible impression in Canada, where her album If Your Memory Serves You Well has been certified Gold and contributed to her winning the 2008 Juno Award for Best New Artist. For American listeners, this sets the stage for is it o.k., her full length debut for Atlantic Records on which Ryder paints a self-portrait that’s bitter in betrayal in “Sweeping the Ashes,” furious and yet not without affection in the hard-hitting “Little Bit of Red,” teasingly romantic on “Brand New Love,” struggling to understand another’s pain on “Hiding Place,” even careening through cascades of contradictory emotion, almost from one word to the next, on “All for Love.” All of these moments Ryder brings to life with a performance that resonates in memory long after its last notes fade.

Wed 5/27 Hoot 10:00 pm $10 Thurs 5/28 Reel Karma 8:00 pm $10 Homogenized product and hackneyed melodies take note: the jig is up. Rec-execs, point the finger of blame at this here EP, Reel Karma's selftitled debut. Says rock crit Dr. Jeff Cowie: the “retro pop circa 1962 groove” licks are “good, catchy fun…reminiscent of the self-conscious pop of Matthew Sweet.” RK plays vindictive in “Your Ways,” exposing an erstwhile lover as a life-sucking poser. In a swirl of energy, the stinging lyrical putdowns highlight a vivid preoccupation with social hierarchy power trips. “Tomorrow’s Yesterday” preaches to a congregation of authenticity. With a generation in the balance, RK asks just “who’s to say those ripped jeans weren’t cut today?” The polished vocal prowess of RK’s charismatic rhythm guitarist on “Riley’s Theme,” offers us a taste of skillfully crafted vocal collaborations to come. This foot tapper provides an anthem to RK’s power to cut loose and monkey around. "Heyyyyyyyyyyy!” Rickenbacker chiming, with an explosive ring our zeitgeist takes shape in “Paper Me and Paper You.” RK spews liquid hot riffs, scissoring worries to tickertape. The dance is an identity creator in the same vein as Chubby’s Twist. The lustfully hopeful ditty “Love Me Too” and back road cruise “Things You Do To Me” round it out with explosive hooks and precise, inventive rhythmic punch. Reel Karma rings us a wakeup call with fresh, relevant, and tight inde rock n’ roll. You deserve to hear this EP. -Louis Burke IV "Offering up sharp verse, inventive hooks, and richly tuneful melodies, Reel Karma unwinds with a propulsive power that delivers the snap and crackle of pop, reminiscent of the British Invasion from the Kinks to the Kooks."

They are taking us back to a primordial state…when pure, searing sounds shot up from the core, pierced the mantle, and burst through the cold, indifferent crust...erupting in a primal exultation which screamed, 'back the f*ck off!' Well, back off for these guys. Because once the Lava gets flowing, there's no outrunning it."

GLENN HOROWITZ BOOKSELLER 87 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, NY 11937 631.324.5511 Mon thru Sat: 10am to 5pm; Sun: 12pm to 4pm Sat 6/20 Adam Bartos: Yard Sale - A New Book of Photographs Reception and Book Signing 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm With his new publication, Adam Bartos has taken a traditional summertime staple and created a fascinating commentary on Americana, and the relationship between the precious object and the ephemeral. His still- lifes of "chance meetings" find compositional catalysts in vacuum cleaners, and board games, portrayed with a mostly objective eye, only suggesting the smallest hint of their formal properties. A pair of weathered skateboards is silhouetted against black asphalt littered with grass clippings, a close-up of the shimmering coral-colored interior of a mid-century suitcase is boldy contrasted against a blue rhinestone and white linens; each image conjures up glimpse of someone else's lifestyle, a narrative of outgrown toys and discarded hobbies. Straying away from becoming nostalgic, Bartos's images read more like anthropological studies than a longing of obselete playthings. Photos from Yard Sale will be on exhibition during the reception and, beginning June 26th, as part of an exhibition at The Drawing Room.

Sat 6/27 Bill Jacobson: Figures, Water, Land. 1989 – 2009 Reception 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm This selection of photographs on view date from the end of the 1980s to the present and reflect Jacobson's enduring attachment to the theme of temporality in human experience. Using a diffusing lens to obscure the specificity of his subjects, he addresses an emotional, even spiritual experience of vision, gracefully disposing of the objective, documentary uses of photography in favor of subjective experience. Exhibit runs through Sunday, 8/2. Concurrently, John McWhinnie & Glenn Horowitz Bookseller at 36 Newtown Lane, East Hampton will present Bill Jacobson: Diana Pictures, an exhibition featuring a selection of vintage photos from the mid 70s made with a Diana camera. Jacobson used the popular and inexpensive camera to make moody black-and-white images draped in a rich tonality of shadow.

Sat 6/6 Matt Weber Photography Exhibit Opening 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Harper's Books is pleased to announce its second exhibition with New York photographer Matt Weber. For over 20 years Weber has prowled the streets of the city in search of the next great shot. He has become a cult figure among New York City photographers and collectors, having produced an unrivaled contemporary document of an ever changing New York, while cultivating an instantly recognizable aesthetic that places

him among the most important image makers of our time. While our first show was a retrospective of Weber's now iconic New York images, this exhibition will focus on a single subject: the reaction of New Yorkers to the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States. Weber's shots of Election Night jubilation in Times Square capture the catharsis of a city, while his photographs, taken on Election Day and during the inauguration, provide a telling narrative amid the outpouring of raw emotion. To celebrate the exhibition, Harper's Books will co-publish a book of Weber's Obama images, available as a limited edition of only 150 copies. Our collaborator on this project, Sanctuary Books of New York City, was the publisher of Weber's 2004 monograph, "The Urban Prisoner," and is currently producing a documentary film on Weber's life and work.

For further information, contact Harper Levine or Kirsten Iverson at 631-324-1131, or mail@harpersbooks.com. The exhibit runs through August 7th.

THE GARDEN CONSERVANCY 11 Old Postal Road, Cold Spring, NY 10516 1.888.842.2442 Sat 6/20 Suffolk County Open Day Villa des Amis, 1428 Scuttlehole Road, Bridgehampton, NY 10:00 am – 4:00 pm A former potato field has been transformed into a house and garden by the owner, who designed both in 1987. Built for family and friends, it has a relaxed air and transports the visitor to Tuscany. From the blue gates, walk past olive trees on one side of the drive and apple trees on the other. Take the steps down to a sunken tennis court bordered by an arbor with climbing roses and trumpet vine. The front steps lead to a veranda.

Walk around the brick way to the center courtyard and discover a pool, rose garden, and wisteria arbor. Explore a series of garden rooms with a reflecting pool, stone statuary, a labyrinth, and finally, a walled garden and art studio.

Margaret Kerr, 1006 Springs Fireplace Road, East Hampton, NY 10:00 am – 2:00 pm The garden, designed by Kerr, surrounds the house and studios on two acres that extend down to the wetlands of Accabonack Harbor. Kerr’s brick rug sculptures, inspired by tribal Middle Eastern carpets, are placed throughout the garden. One, a brick prayer rug, lies in a contemplative glade below her studio. Kerr collects plants grown in the Middle Ages in a courtyard around a fountain and lily pool highlighted with espaliered pear trees. In the spring, drifts of thousands of daffodils bloom in the fields around the house and are left unmown until late fall. Native grasses and wildflowers make islands of meadow during the summer.

Carol Mercer, 33 Ocean Avenue, East Hampton, NY 10:00 am – 4:00 pm An undeniable partnering of pattern, movement, and color makes this garden glow and come alive. Mercer and her partner, Lisa Verderosa, have a thriving garden design business called the Secret Garden, Ltd.; they received accolades for the design of the roof garden at the 2003 Kips Bay Designer Showhouse in New York City. Previous years’ recognition includes the Gate House Gardens at the 2003 Villa Maria Designer Showhouse, Water Mill, New York and gold medal awards at several of the New York City flower shows. The garden was a cover story in Garden Design magazine, and appeared in House Beautiful, Garden Style, Victoria, Martha Stewart Living, Design Times, and Oprah’s O at Home magazines, as well as in Seaside Gardening, The Garden Design Book, Sanctuary: Gardening for the Soul, The Natural Shade Garden, Landscape with Roses, Garden Stone, Hot Plants for Cool Climates, and most recently, in Cottage Gardens. It was also featured in Newsday in 1999 and appeared in the Time/Life book series, Beds & Borders, Gardening Weekends, and Shade Gardening.

Richard Kahn and Elaine Peterson, 224 West Lake Drive, Montauk, NY 10:00 am – 4:00 pm Originally landscaped in 1931 soon after the house was completed, this garden had withstood a multitude of nor’easters and hurricanes as well as alternating periods of attention and neglect before we started slowly to leave our own imprint in 1977. Situated on the Montauk peninsula

where it is surrounded by an endless expanse of water and sky, the property is protected by the original non-native plantings of oak, silver maple, and privet, which buffer the gardens on all sides except the east, which faces Lake Montauk. This protective enclosure within an often inhospitable, very exposed geography, gives the place its alluring lushness and is a delight to those who first (or repeatedly) enter here from outside. It gives the illusion of total retreat, peace, and safety while still holding onto some of the romance and mystery of former days.

Throughout the gardens we have tried to allow space for quiet observation and contemplation, space which shelters one from the nearby sounds of neighbors and traffic. We have encouraged the local bird and insect populations by growing what they like and not using poisons, and they have rewarded us, filling the air with their sounds and movements. We have indulged a love of trees and shrubs by planting a great variety of them.

An ongoing exploration of perennials and bulbs is pursued as different appropriate settings for them appear. Herb and vegetable gardens extend the repertoire. Garden design and materials are determined by the persistent challenges of heavy wind and salt spray.

The 1996 RD & 2003 vintages are not ready for release yet; so, winemaker Eric Fry, will need to disgorge these wines before we taste them. Disgorgement is the process by which the lees (yeast cells) are removed. The bottles are first riddled to move the lees to the neck of the bottle. Then the bottles are put in a glycol bath to create a small ice cube that encapsulates the lees. The cap is removed and the pressure from the bubbles in the sparkling wine shoots out the little ice cube. The sparkling wine is then ready for dosage and corking. Also Sun 6/21 from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm.

Have you ever tried mead? Maybe you tried mead while visiting Europe or at a medieval festival? Have you been told that mead was like beer, a beer with honey or even a wine with honey? Mead has some similarities to these beverages, but it is so much more it deserves its own category. Mead is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of honey as its primary sugar source and is often referred to as honey wine. Being made from honey, one would naturally expect it to be very sweet and although it usually is, it can actually range from dry to very sweet. Mead is usually still, though it can be made sparkling and can range from a mild low alcoholic content up to very high. Mead

is arguably the oldest alcoholic beverage on the planet with some evidence dating it back approximately 10,000 years. Due to many different cultural and financial reasons, mead has fallen out of favor over the many years and now we call it the 'oldest alcoholic beverage no one has ever heard of.' A far cry from its hey day when it was referred to as the 'Nectar of the Gods.' Mead can be produced in many variations including a plain honey wine (traditional - honey only), flavored with fruit (melomel), spices (metheglin), vegetables, or any combination of ingredients limited only by the imagination of the wine maker and the resources he has at hand.

Throw in Soul reminiscent of Aretha and stoke the fire: this one is going to be hot. Backed by NYC’s “smokin’est” musicians (remember Full Tilt Boogie), Shari’s trademark sound delivers traditional and contemporary Blues with a pop vibe á la Rickie Lee Jones; and some pleasure trips into Stax. She’s got this intensity and control that continue to grab the attention of audiences and a jaded music industry, heralding the arrival of an artist with real staying power. In a sea of one-hit wonders Pine stands out as something rare and real, a victory for everyone searching for a music oasis in an arid teen-pop wasteland.

Sat 6/6 PT Walkley 8:00 pm $10 Sat 6/6 Winston Irie 11:00 pm $25 Winston (Irie) Sumner had a childhood filled with the love music from his mother Stella Crowther Sumner and grand aunt Jany Morgan who inspired him. Winston sung at a variety of talent shows and other programs in his hometown blessed with those inspirations. He was inspired by R&B, Rock and artists such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Gladys Knight, Jim Reeves, Bob Andy, Dobby Dobson, Daddy U Roy, Jimmy Cliff, Toots & the Maytals and the great Bob Marley. In 1979 Winston migrated to North America and settled with his family in Brooklyn, New York.

After observing different artists and DJ styles, Winston formulated his unique style of singing. He appears at live stage shows, free styling and showing his national ability to deliver various song styles and vocal ranges, allowing him to gain a huge fan base wherever he performs.

Winston's first recording was in 1983. "Tribute to Ironman", a record produced by Albert Punch a/k/a Punchie on the Omniscope label, "Slave Driver & Sometime Feelings" were later released on 12 inch vinyl for the Phantom label, followed up by another single "Jah Vibes" in the midnineties for Quality Time Records. This single drew attention of DJs and club promoters. These releases received good airplay on many AM & FM radio stations. As a singer on the reggae scene, Winston has performed at numerous benefit functions for a variety of different causes. Events such as AIDS/HIV, Children, Cancer, and Educational Research. He often has to juggle his time to perform with his own band Selective Security, The Hot Heads, High Fashion Rockers, Thunder Bolt HiFi, Natural Sound and his buddy Saxemillion,. There are many others, but they are too numerous to mention. The urban group The Hot Heads got wind of Winston Irie's unique vocal style and asked him to join the group as Co-Lead vocalist with Michael Reiss; after finishing the first CD Urban Dwelling, the label Flip Records signed the Hot Heads in 1995. Together they completed 3 CDs, Urban Dwelling, World Wide Vibe and the 1997 release "Land Mines". The track "Slide" from the Urban Dwelling CD was featured on the HBO series The Sopranos.

Sun 6/7 Tamarama 8:00 pm $10 Named after a town in southeastern Australia, Tamarama models its beachside folk-pop after Jack Johnson, G. Love & Special Sauce, and other advocates of acoustic guitars and relaxed, casually spun vocals. Founding members Jay G. Lyon and Nick "Pottsy" Potts relocated to New York City after the band's formation, and Lyon's budding romance with reality TV star Whitney Port (from the MTV series The Hills and The City) helped boost Tamarama's profile in late 2008. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide.

Fri 6/19 Little Head Thinks 11:00 pm $25 Sat 6/20 Eric Lewis Groove 7:00 pm $20 general admission / $35 VIP admission Everything that he creates bears his singular mark—the stamp of something that we have never seen or heard, but have always wanted to feel. A native of Camden, New Jersey, ELEW began his musical studies at a young age. After being granted a full scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music, he set his sights toward making noise on a grand scale. Upon graduation, he toured the world, recorded, and performed continuously with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Elvin Jones, Cassandra Wilson, Roy Hargrove, and Joe Henderson among others. 1999 offered a formal confirmation of what was rapidly becoming clear when ELEW won the Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition. It's a contest that goes beyond simply rewarding musical proficiency, instead recognizing the elusive combination of knowledge, command, passion and expression that define a true piano master. Today, bolstered by his virtuosic quartet, ELEW has created a riveting new sound that is at once fresh and classic.

Sun 6/21 Winston Irie 11:00 pm $10 Tues 6/23 Kiss Kiss 10:00 pm $10 Wed 6/24 Badfish, A Tribute to Sublime 8:00 pm $35

The phenomenon known as Sublime, arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere, ended with the untimely death of lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Brad Nowell in May of 1996. But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime’s music, Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime continues to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury not felt for some time.

What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is that they have replicated Sublime’s essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts. Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does. Badfish has been one of the biggest club and theater acts in the Northeast and Midwest of the last couple years, and promoters are in awe that a tribute band could be turning several hundred fans away from the doors each night.

Sun 6/28 Collie Buddz 8:00 pm $40 Born in New Orleans, raised on the isle of Bermuda with intermittent stays in urban Toronto, Colin Harper is not an easy youth to pin down geographically.
