THE WAILERS COME TO THE HUDSON VALLEY
The Original Wailers bring
their iconic reggae music to two
area performances in the Hudson Valley. Their first appearance
will be at The Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut on October
9th with their second area show
at the historic Capitol Theatre in
the heart of Port Chester, NY on
October 27th. Tickets are available at the respective theater
box offices.
The Original Wailers will
bring a fun night of reggae!
Formed and led by guitar player
Al Anderson, who is known for
his extensive work with Bob
Marley, the band aims to keep
Bob Marley’s legacy alive. Al
Anderson has united with a
group of handpicked musicians
to honor the history and integrity of Marley’s music with The
Original Wailers.
Anderson first joined Bob
Marley & The Wailers in 1973,
going on to play with Bob until
his untimely death in 1981. Al
was an integral part of the Bob
Marley & The Wailers sound, forever imprinting his guitar solos
and production skills on the
catalog that has sold more than
75 million records and touched
so many around the world.
In 1974 when Bob Marley
went solo, on the brink of international stardom, he surprised
the music community by choosing as his lead guitarist the soft
spoken,
American-born
Al
Anderson. It was Anderson’s
stunning lead work on such classics as “No Woman, No Cry”,
“Dem Belly Full” and “Curfew
(Three O’ Clock Road Block),”
that first alerted rock fans to the
Wailers’ music. More than a billion dollars worth of Marley’s
music featuring Al Anderson’s
evocative guitar work has been
sold worldwide. Al has also
played with the Peter Tosh,
James Brown, Stevie Wonder,
The Rolling Stones, Steel Pulse,
Aswad, Inner Circle, Traffic and
Ben Harper.
Al Anderson is the sole member of the Wailers mid-1970s
line-up in The Original Wailers.
The reformed configuration
includes Chet Samuel (Lead
Vocals/Guitar), Rohan Reid (Bass
Guitar), Howard Smith (Drums)
and Noel Aiken (Keyboards and
Organ) that carry forward the
true spirit and realities of the
original music and the message
of “One Love”.
Al Anderson’s main ambition
is to promote The Original Wailers’ new EP Miracle. Their live
performances will include songs
from this EP as well as classics of
the past including songs from
Legend.
Miracle is reminiscent to the
words, sound and power of the
original three: Peter Tosh, Bob
Marley and Bunny Wailer. The
album was done live in real time,
with no drum machines, to keep
the spirit of the music original
and alive.
As Al has stated, “When we
got together in 1974 at the
National Arena in Jamaica, it
made an impact on my life musically to date and being part of
those three original Wailers left
me the standard of their musical
genius.” The Ridgefield Playhouse

AMANDA AYALA PLAYS PARAMOUNT HUDSON VALLEY
TV pop star Amanda Ayala
will be appearing at Paramount
Hudson Valley October 28th,
opening for another famous pop
and TV icon, The Partridge Family’s David Cassidy. Tickets are
available now at the Paramount
box office.
Amanda Ayala is an 18 year
old rock singer/songwriter†from
New York, who was recently featured on NBC’s Emmy-Award
winning show The Voice. Her
first performance on the show
was a rendition of “Mississippi
Queen” by Mountain. Three out
of the four judges on the show
pressed their buttons and turned
their chairs for Amanda. Adam
Levine, Pharrell Williams, and
Blake Shelton competed with
one another to get Amanda on
their team. Eventually Amanda
chose Team Adam.
Throughout the process of
being on The Voice, Amanda was
able to work with professionals and legends such
as John Fogerty. She was
mentored by a team of
experts and learned the
steps necessary to make it
in the music business. Her
singles
“Mississippi
Queen” and “Edge of
Seventeen” debuted on
the Top 100 iTunes Rock
Chart, which is a great
accomplishment.
As her journey on The
Voice ended, Amanda is
continuing to perform
and work on original
music to share with the world.
She has sold out venues such as
The Winery at St. George, the
notable Daryl’s House and The
Bitter End. She has also performed at the main stage at
Downtown Disney, the Met Life
Stadium State Fair with fellow
cast mates and recently The Hudson Room in Peekskill. She was
honored to open this year’s
Pleasantville Music Festival on
the Pamnation Stage sponsored
by The Capitol Theater. Amanda
was featured in the same line-up
that included Grammy Award
winner KT Tunstall, The Smithereens and Guster.
Amanda Ayala has recently
opened for the legendary rock
group Blackfoot at The Chance
in Poughkeepsie. Amanda was
also featured as a special guest
at the Ridgefield Playhouse with
Voice finalist Joshua Davis from
Team Adam. Amanda will be the
supporting act for the pop icon
Taylor Dayne and girl group
Expose in Tuckahoe Music Fes-
tival. On October 28th, Amanda
will take the stage as the opening act for pop idol David Cassidy
from The Partridge Family at the
Paramount Theater.
Amanda is a skilled performer
and has been known to pack
venues with a large fan base.
Amanda’s EP is scheduled to be
released in the early fall and her
new single “HER” was released
on September 24th. She is looking forward to sharing her original music with the universe! Paramount Hudson Valley

DAR WILLIAMS RETURNS TO RIDGEFIELD PLAYHOUSE
On her brand new tour, folk-pop singer/
songwriter Dar Williams performs her
breakthrough album Mortal City — in its
entirety! She returns to The Ridgefield
Playhouse in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the acclaimed album! Doyle Coffin Architecture Singer Songwriter Series
presents this special night with Dar Williams on Thursday, October 6th at 8 pm.
Dar will also perform a few fan favorites.
One of the most lauded singer-songwriters of her generation, Dar Williams has
been captivating audiences with her sheer
elegance and honesty in her folk-pop
songwriting since the early ’90s. With dedicated fans selling out her shows all across
the country (and world) and her inimitable
songs hitting the charts with the release of
each new album, Dar’s continued success is
undeniable as both a recording artist and
performer.
Mortal City was written in the late ‘90s
when shopping malls were popping up
everywhere, the Internet was just being
born and digital recording was a new-fangled thing in the music industry, Mortal
City encompasses feelings so many were
experiencing at the time: a desire to stay
grounded and connected to one’s roots
while exploring the growth and opportunities of our digital self, a fear of the loss
of artistic innocence and integrity, a drive
toward preserving physical communities in
the hearts of our cities. Though the decade
has changed, these feelings continue to
exist and resonate today. Dar has
remained unwavering in her socio-political
and environmental beliefs, and her captivating storylines have remained relevant.
Her poignant lyrical commentary and
beautiful musical arrangements have
entranced the music world for more than
two decades. The night begins with a special reading by Connecticut poet Michael
Cervas. Dar Williams is a featured artist of
media sponsor 90.7fm WFUV.
A few thoughts from Dar on her
upcoming tour dates… “When The Honesty Room came out in 1994, I left my
three part time jobs for one touring life,
writing songs on notepads and napkins as I
went. I have clear memories of places
where I wrote lyrics. My housemate Sarah
Davis had said, ‘I think you should look at
this story about an ice storm in Philadelphia. The whole city basically shut down,
voluntarily, to help the hospitals keep running.’ So I wrote half of the song ‘Mortal
City’ in Lisa Wittner’s bathtub in Boulder. I
wrote a verse of ‘As Cool As I Am’ looking
out my friend Jay’s window in San Francisco. And then I tried it out on a group of
cool woman at the Kumbwa Cafe in Santa
Cruz. I started’ The Ocean’ in an undisclosed Washington city, surrounded by
aspiring heroin addicts, while February
began on the drive home from a friendly
coffeehouse in eastern Massachusetts. I
wrote ‘Iowa’…well, it’s pretty obvious
where I wrote that. Gideon Freudmann
wandered into the blanket room and
played the now familiar part in February
as well as the trippy solo (as only Gideon
could do), on the song about college potheads.
Steve brought players into New York
City who were as generous of spirit as
they were wildly talented. He introduced
me to Steve Gaboury, Larry Campbell,
Zev Katz, Billy Ward, Marc Schulman and
his good friend, the late, great Jeff
Golub. He also fired me on back-up vocals
on The Christians and Pagans and asked
Lucy Kaplansky to sing them instead! He
got Eileen Ivers to play the tempestuous
part at the end of The Ocean and helped
me invite John Prine to sing on it. I remember the first time I was on Mountain Stage
in West Virginia, John poked his head into
my dressing room and said, “I’ll sing on
your song.”
A second album can be a daunting
experience, but thanks to my managers
Charlie and Carole, Razor and Tie, Steve
Miller and Joan, it all felt like a magic carpet ride, and I can’t thank everyone
enough (I might have been too tired to
thank them at the time). And, given the
title of the record, I also want to mention
what I’ve seen since I released Mortal City.
In the nineties, most towns and cities were
still reeling from the decline of manufacturing and the rise of shopping malls. I was
working with coffeehouse volunteers,
local radio stations, and promoters who
were trying very hard, with limited
resources, to bring music, poetry and life
back into their downtowns. Thanks to
people like them, not only have many
places reclaimed their former glory,
they’ve improved on their histories,
embracing their brick-walled, tree-lined
Main Streets as they’ve welcomed more
worldliness and diversity in the present. In
1996 I said, “We are not lost in the mortal
city” as a statement of faith, and now,
twenty years later, I say it as a statement of
fact. Thank you for opening up your towns
and cities to me over the last twenty
years. We’re very excited to be presenting
the full album on tour this fall.

DILLENGER ESCAPE PLAN AT THE CHANCE THEATER
Don’t miss Dillenger Escape Plan performing at The Chance Theater on October 14th.
Tickets are available at The Chance box office.
The Dillinger Escape Plan’s creative energy
and unwavering artistic commitment has reverberated through underground subculture and in
tastemaker circles alike for over a decade. One
of Us is the Killer is the band’s defining work,
conjuring the mindboggling chemical combinations found within their earliest missives of
mathematical bombast while pushing forward
into dense, atmospheric radicalism.
The press reaction was swift and unanimous. Big Cheese called it “a masterpiece in the
art of heavy rock music” and Terrorizer emphasized the “greatness” of The Dillinger Escape
Plan (both 5/5 reviews). Critics declared the band
“leaders in a genre of precisely one” (Metal
Hammer, 9/10); “enduringly peerless” (Rock
Sound); “firing on cylinders, just as urgent as
ever” (AP); “operating at the peak of their powers” (Kerrang!); “[every album] a carefully calculated masterpiece” (Metal Injection). Pitchfork
offered an exclusive stream of OOUITK during
release week.
The shock and awe of the band’s performance at Revolver’s Golden Gods Awards solidified the reputation TDEP maintains as perhaps
the most formidable heavy music band on the
planet. Kerrang! awarded the band’s most
recent sold-out show in London a KKKKK review.
Metallica invited The Dillinger Escape Plan to
play at their Orion Music festival. They are veterans of Coachella, Bonnaroo, Soundwave,
Reading, et al.
One of Us is the Killer (produced by Steve
Evetts) was the second album issued through the
band’s own imprint, Party Smasher Inc., this time
in partnership with Sumerian Records (Animals
As Leaders, ÜÜÜ) and BMG worldwide, including
licensing deals with Grind House (Helmet,
Funeral For A Friend) in Japan and Remote Control (Radiohead, Vampire Weekend) in Australia.
Dillinger’s mind-bending meld of metal,
rock, experimental ambience and melody first
reared its head with a 6-track EP on hardcore
indie Now Or Never Records, quickly followed by
Under the Running Board EP on Relapse. The
band earned a reputation as a fearless act on
the live stage, committing their minds, bodies
and spirits to the exhibition and visceral release
of performance and often brutalizing stages,
gear and themselves along the way. Calculating
Infinity became the gold standard for the
emerging “math-core”/”math-metal” movement, earning a place in author Martin Popoff’s
“Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time.” Kerrang! included it in the “100 Best Rock Albums
of All Time” and later presented the band with
their Spirit of Independence Award.
Mike Patton invited The Dillinger Escape
Plan on tour with Mr. Bungle, which eventually
resulted in the collaborative EP on Epitaph,
Irony is a Dead Scene. The band’s second fulllength album, Miss Machine, blew the doors
open, cementing TDEP’s legacy around the
world. The album’s songs began the creative
partnership between co-founder/songwriter
Ben Weinman and singer Greg Puciato, both of
them joined on the road for many months preceding the record by longtime bassist Liam Wilson.
Intense physical performer Weinman was
named one of Spin’s 100 Greatest Guitarists of
All Time, AP’s Top 10 Guitar Slingers and Guitar
World’s Top 25 Cult Guitarists. Puciato, whose
similarly uncompromising presence and versatile vocal ability knows few boundaries, was
#1 on Metal Sucks’ Top 25 Modern Metal Frontmen and included in Revolver’s Greatest Metal
Frontmen of All Time.
Ire Works precipitated The Dillinger Escape
Plan’s national TV debut on Late Night with
Conan O’Brien, as well as multiple international
tours. At Soundwave, Nine Inch Nails invited
them on-stage to perform “Wish.”
The band’s collaborative nature persists,
with members of Dillinger forming “supergroup” projects like Giraffe Tongue Orchestra
and Killer Be Killed, with musicians from bands
like Jane’s Addiction, Deftones, Mastodon,
Sepultura, The Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone
Age and many more, both on-stage and off.
Weinman is a film composer, sought after
remixer and co-writer/performer for artists as
diverse as Kimbra and Wyclef. He’s spoken to
students at Loyola University and was featured
on the cover of Guitar World. Puciato’s band
The Black Queen features producer Josh Eustis,
touring guitarist of Nine Inch Nails. He’s
guested with Deftones, Brazilian EDM act
Mixhell and metal merchants Soulfly.
Option Paralysis arrived through Party
Smasher Inc. not long before Revolver gave
them an award for “Best Underground Band”
and VH1’s Metal Evolution declared them “The
World’s Most Dangerous Band.” In Spin’s
review, they noted the band “have been the
metal standard-bearers of dizzying, time signature torture,” combined with their ventures
into “NIN-damaged, alt-rock superhero fantasies” and “Lollapalooza-era treat[s],” highlighting Puciato’s ability to maneuver from
“sensitive-to-seething-to-soaring... to the harrowing edge.”
One of Us is the Killer showcases Weinman, Puciato, Wilson (whose skills saw him featured on the cover of Bass Player) and drummer Billy Rymer (a highly-regarded player and
teacher who once faced off against Mike Portnoy in a friendly “drum fight”) in top form,
emphasizing the band’s fierce independence,
staunch individualism and loyalty to a artistic
unique vision that has long followed them onstage and off. The Chance Theater

Text & Photos by Christopher Alo
It happened over a week ago,
but I’m still in a state of shock
over the fact that I was able to
witness the original Misfits live
in concert! If you haven’t been
following the story, 33 years
after splitting, Misfits founding
member’s vocalist Glenn Danzig
and bassist Jerry Only put aside
their differences to reunite for
just two concerts, Riotfest
Denver and Riotfest Chicago. Of
course longtime legacy Misfits
guitarist (and Jerry’s younger
brother) Doyle was back in the
fold and the band added a pair
of new additions, former Slayer
drummer Dave Lombardo and
ex-Murder Dolls guitarist Acey
Slade.
In the years since original
vocalist Glenn Danzig parted
ways with Jerry and Doyle, the
legacy of the original band has
continued to grow. The Misfits
have been covered by everyone
from Metallica, Guns N Roses
and Blondie to My Morning
Jacket, My Chemical Romance
and Green Day. I truly feel that
the Misfits have become the
biggest “cult” band in the
history of rock and roll.
GLENN DANZIG AND JERRY ONLY
Now many bands played the
three day Riot Fest in Chicago
but far and away, the main
draw was this historic reunion.
From the opening notes of
“Death Comes Ripping” to the
surprise encore of “Attitude,”
the band was relentless and the
massive audience hung on every
word.
The
concert
was
incredible, the new five piece
version of the original Misfits
tore through a raucous 26 song
set which included predicted
numbers like “20 Eyes” and
“Last Caress” as well as a few
surprises
like
”Devilock”,
“Bullet,” and even the very first
Glenn Danzig solo track, “Who
Killed Marilyn.”
While the Misfits in the ‘80s
were an uncontrollable assault
of pure energy, they really
couldn’t play their instruments
very well. The 2016 original
Misfits, while not the fireballs
they were in their 20s, are still
quite energetic but now come
with many more years of
musical experience under their
studded belts. As a result they
can play their songs much truer
to their original recordings.
Having a second guitarist and
adding one of the best
drummers in the world only
fattens their sound and heights
their musicality.
Fest in Chicago and I was
pleasantly surprised. Some of his
new material while not exactly
metal, was still hard edged
enough from most. Surprisingly
Dee even played covers of Nine
Inch Nails’ “Head Like A Hole”
as well as a pair of Twisted Sister
classics, “We’re Not Gonna Take
It” and “I Wanna Rock”. I’ll be
looking forward to his solo
album for sure.
No offense to James Kottak,
but this is a huge improvement
and a massive shot in the arm
for the Scorpions. Mikkey Dee
spent a few years playing for
King Diamond before hitting
the skins for Motörhead for the
last quarter of a century. He is a
hard hitting drummer who
really makes an excellent
addition to the band.
Mikkey Dee had been tapped
to play some anniversary shows
this year and next year for Thin
Lizzy. Now that Mikkey has
joined the Scorpions, Judas
Priest drummer Scott Travis will
join the touring version of Thin
Lizzy.
JERRY ONLY AND DOYLE
BEN OF DILLENGER ESCAPE PLAN
With a stage show that
included massive Halloween
pumpkins, video screens and
more, seeing Danzig, Jerry and
Doyle on stage together was
absolutely
magical.
Doyle
stomped the stage and pounded
his guitar, Jerry Only bounced
back and forth all over the
stage, hammering his bass and
adding backing vocals and well,
Glenn Danzig was Danzig. Sure,
his voice may not be as strong as
it once was, but he can still
command the stage like no one
else. Seeing Jerry and Danzig on
stage together and smiling was
just surreal, I’m not afraid to
admit that tears welled up in my
eyes during “Hybrid Moments.”
Lots of rumors have been
floating around since the
Chicago
show,
particularly
concerning the Misfits playing
New York, LA and possibly
Europe. More rumors include
the band actually recording a
new album and touring in 2017,
for the band’s proper 40th
anniversary. You’ll read about it
here if any of this comes to
fruition.
I was also able to catch
Dillinger Escape Plan at Riot Fest
and their set was completely
spellbinding.
DEP
have
announced a new album as well
as their breakup! They are
releasing
a
new
LP
Dissociation on October 14
via Party Smasher Inc’s imprint
which is distributed via Cooking
Vinyl America. Fans can check
out their first single off the
record titled “Limerent Death”
online or on Sirius XM Liquid
Metal, where it’s in heavy
rotation.
DEP guitarist Ben
Weinman recently said that
they are more popular and more
credible than ever but felt that
2017 was a good time to go out

JOAN JETT ROCKS FUNDRAISER AT THE CAPITOL THEATRE
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
rocks a fundraiser for Big Brothers
Big Sisters of FSW at The Capitol
Theatre on November 5th. Tickets
are available at The Capitol Theatre
box office.
Joan Jett is an originator, an
innovator, and a visionary. As the
leader of the hard-rocking
Blackhearts, with whom she has
become a Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame inductee, she’s had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top
40 singles, including the classics
“Bad Reputation”, “I Love Rock ‘N’
Roll”, “I Hate Myself For Loving
You,” and “Crimson and Clover.”
She sits at the head of her own independent label, Blackheart Records.
Jett has acted in movies and television, including 1987’s Light Of Day,
and in a Tony-nominated Broadway
musical, The Rocky Horror Show. She
has appeared on such acclaimed
television shows as Oprah (the last
season) and Law and Order.
As a producer, she has overseen
albums by Bikini Kill, Circus Lupus, as
well as the Germs’ LA punk masterpiece, GI.
Her music has become a permanent force in mainstream culture.
A version of “I Hate Myself for
Loving You” has been NBC’s Sunday
Night Football, performed this past
season by Carrie Underwood, and
her music is heard in countless films
and TV shows including Easy - A,
Kick Ass, The Runaways, Shrek, Baby
Mama, and many more.
Since co-founding the Runaways,
the pioneering all-girl punk quintet,
at age 15, Jett’s determination and
drive have kept her in the public
eye. Jett was able to see her story
told in The Runaways, the film
based on (lead singer of The
Runaways) Cherie Currie’s book
Neon Angel starring Kristen Stewart
as Jett, and her fellow A-lister
Dakota Fanning as Currie. Jett was
close to the project: She served as an
executive producer.
Jett and the Blackhearts released
their latest record, Unvarnished, last
year and continue touring the globe
to throngs of adoring fans.
Joan Jett has spent her lifetime
breaking barriers and challenging
expectations — this is, after all, a
woman who is both a spokesperson
for PETA and a devoted supporter of
the US Military. She’s fought hard
for all of her historic accomplishments, yet she remains humble and
appreciative.
“I’ve had a blessed career,” she
says. “I consider myself so lucky to
have been able to do things my own
way.”
The event’s beneficiary, Big
Brothers Big Sisters, is a youth mentoring organization. By matching
adult volunteers, “Bigs,” with children, “Littles,” facing adversity, they
are able to accomplish their mission
of “helping children reach and realize their potential.” Big Brothers Big
Sisters of FSW provides at-risk children with strong, positive and
enduring one-to-one relationships
that change their lives for the better, forever. The Capitol Theatre

funky METERS & THE MOTET
AT THE CAPITOL THEATRE
The funky METERS and The Motet will be
heading to The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester
on October 8th. Show starts at 8pm. Doors open
at 7pm. Tickets are available at The Capitol
Theatre box office.
The funky METERS are a group that has
been blending sounds of funk, blues, and dance
grooves with an overall New Orleans vibe since
1994. Guitarist Brian Stoltz and drummer Russell
Batiste Jr. join the founding Meters members, Art
Neville and George Porter Jr., to form what we
know now as funky METERS.
Original funky METERS members have
toured with artists like The Rolling Stones, and
have played in studio with Dr. John, Paul
McCartney, and Robert Palmer. In 2014, the band
acquired a new drummer, Terrence Houston,
adding to the band’s impressive resume.
Playing at festivals and venues like
Bonnaroo, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest,
Jamcruise, and The Fillmore Auditorium, the
group continues to bring their funky show to the
both old and new fans.
As if a show with funky METERS wasn’t
funky enough, The Motet will be joining as coheadliner.
Forming in 1988, The Motet is a Denver
based American funk band with jazz and
afrobeat infusion. Founded by drummer David
Watts, the group consists of a wide range of talented artists, who cohesively produce an energetic and engaged show every time.
The band is infamous for their Halloween
concerts, where they dedicate their show to covering songs of a select band or artist, and take it
one step further by dressing the part as well.
Most recently they can be recognized for their
2016 album, Totem produced by Lettuce and Eric
Kranso (Soulive guitarist), recorded all over the
U.S. Totem consists of 12 original tracks written
collectively by all band members. Each track
brings out the funk roots that The Motet does so
well, while blending those roots with fresh
sounds to keep their fans wanting more.
Don’t miss your chance to hear the raw talent of the funky METERS and The Motet
together at The Capitol Theatre on Saturday,
October 8. The Capitol Theatre

AC/DC TRIBUTE ROCKS THE
PARAMOUNT HUDSON VALLEY
To Hell and Black, a worldclass reincarnation of the ultimate comeback album in rock
history, AC/DC’s Back in Black, will
rock the stage at the Paramount
Hudson Valley Theater on October 7 at 8 PM. For tickets & more
information visit www.paramounthudsonvalley.com or call
the box-office at 914-739-0039.
What makes To Hell and Black
unique are its two lead singers,
each one capturing the essence
of Bon Scott—the band’s legendary original frontman—or
Brian Johnson, and backed by
some of the world’s finest musicians.
Not your ordinary tribute
band, To Hell and Black is a multimedia rock show that recreates
classic albums with intense musical detail. Video screen visual
imagery adds historical, informative, and entertaining layers to
the show.
The death of Bon Scott and
his replacement by Brian Johnson
were pivotal moments in rock history. This show takes
the audience through
those turbulent events
while never losing
sight of the fact that
at its core, rock and
roll is about having a
good time.
“We are happy to
see our Tribute Series
extend into the fall
with a band like To
Hell and Black,” Heitmann said. “This outstanding act
really captures one of the most
iconic ages of rock and roll.” Paramount Hudson Valley

SAY YOU SAW IT IN MORE SUGAR!
NYACK’S HALLOWEEN BASH
IS A SEASONAL SPECTACULAR
The Nyack Chamber of Commerce will host its 29th annual Halloween Parade on Saturday, October 29 from 5:30 to 7:30pm (rain
date Sunday, October 30) in the
heart of Nyack. Festivities begin at
3:00 pm with live music on Main
Street.
The event, organized by the
Chamber and sponsored by leading
local merchants, is the largest
parade of its kind outside New York
City, second only in magnitude to
the Greenwich Village event — and
arguably just as spectacular in terms
of color and sheer pageantry.
Building on a history of recordbreaking crowds, over 20,000 spectators are expected to line the
streets of Main and Broadway in
Nyack for this fun-filled, familyfriendly event, featuring marching
bands, festooned fire trucks, floats
and a host of costumed revelers —
with serious cash prizes, totaling
over $2,000, going to the most creative among the parade’s participants.
Marchers and floats will assemble at 3:30pm in Memorial Park at
the corner of Depew and Piermont
Streets in downtown Nyack. The
parade steps off at 5:30pm. All are
welcome to march and to register
for prizes. Registration is required
to be eligible for prizes.
The winner of this year’s Best
Float competition will take home a
$750 cash prize. Floats winning second and third place will receive
$500 and $250 respectively. Prizes
for costumes will be awarded in
multiple categories, with awards
ranging from $25 to $200.
Guinness & Oak Beverages and 5
Wits/West Nyack are providing generous support for the parade as
sponsors.
Parade-goers will experience a
variety of special talent, including a
number of Rockland County’s top
marching bands. Additional parade
highlights include Westchester’s
Suburbia Roller Derby, Hudson Valley Harley Riders, Rockland Boulders
baseball team, an array of classic
cars, local fire departments showing
off their best equipment — and of
course, the scariest and wackiest
costumes this side of Manhattan.
Nyack’s Main Street and South
Broadway will be closed from
approximately 2:30pm to 8:00pm
for the parade activities. The muchanticipated prize awards ceremony
will begin immediately after the
parade. Live music and dancing,
beginning earlier in the day, will
continue in the Main Street parking
lot after the awards.
Immediately following the
parade, Halloween revelers can go
to the Nyack Center’s 10th annual
“Monster Mash” party featuring
live music, dancing, dinner buffet ó
and lots of spooky family fun. The
party goes from
6:30 to 9:00pm. The Center is
located at Depew and South Broadway in Nyack. More information is
available at www.nyackcenter.org.
Many of Nyack’s restaurants and
night-time establishments will also
be hosting festive post-parade parties.
Details on participating in and
viewing the parade are listed on the
Nyack Chamber of Commerce’s
website: www.nyackchamber.org.
To register your float, join as a
marcher, or contribute as a sponsor,
go to the website or call the Chamber office at 845-353-2221.

The tour hits Port Chester on
October 22nd. Show starts at
8pm and doors open at 7pm.
Tickets are available at The
Capitol Theatre box office.

Dream Theater’s live performance of The Astonishing is a
captivating sonic and visual
experience. This concept album,
conceived by their guitarist John
Petrucci, tells an entrancing
story through their methodical
music and lyrics accompanied by
an insane stage performance.
The Astonishing’s sound is
deepened with the combination
of a real orchestra and choir,
which was arranged by David
Campbell. The songs on this
album stand strong alone, but
together tell a compelling story.
The music for this album was
written by band members John
Petrucci and Jordan Rudess.
While writing, the artists stayed
true to their musical roots while
also venturing out of their comfort zone to push the boundaries of their music. The
Astonishing is an ambitious project for the band, but they
believe this is a pivotal album
for the evolution of
their bands career.
The album consists
of 34 tracks spanning
two and a half hours
on a double disc, telling a story about how
rebels are fighting for
human music creation
to be allowed once again by the
government in their futuristic
setting. The album’s songs have
futuristic plot lines that include
several characters that will
expend the audience’s attention.

COHEED AND CAMBRIA
WILL ROCK THE CAPITOL THEATRE
Cheed and Cambria will rock The
Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on
October 14th. Show starts at 8pm.
Doors open at 7pm. Tickets are available at The Capitol Theatre box
office.
Coheed and Cambria, a New
York-born band that emerged in
1996, conceptualizes their progressive rock music to create their own
unique sound. In addition to the
story that their music conveys,
Claudio Sanchez the vocalist and
guitarist, has created more than 20
detailed graphic novels depicting
the band’s science fiction origins.
Most recently, the band released
The Color Before the Sun, an album
unlike any album they have ever
recorded before. This album is free
of the science fiction concepts that
were deeply explored in their previous seven albums, and their single
“You Got Spirit, Kid” is a refreshing
bright pop-punk track.
In addition to “You Got Spirit
Kid,” their original album consists of
nine other tracks. However, the
band has made available a deconstructed digital deluxe album that
includes Big Beige/4th Street, exclusive demos and soundboard bootlegs. Big Beige/ 4th Street tracks are
acoustic tracks that were recorded in
both Claudio’s upstate house, nicknamed “Big Beige,” and in his apartment on 4th Street in Brooklyn.
The soundboard bootlegs have
been pulled from the soundboard
on their most recent US
tour, and the tracks expose
the fresh sound the band is
known for, allowing the
audience to get a deeper
understanding of Coheed
and Cambria’s sound.
Kicking off Coheed and
Cambria’s show at The
Capitol Theatre on Friday
October 14 will be Saves
The Day and Polyphia. Diehard rock fans, this is a
show you can’t miss. Sat. 10/29

WINS “BEST IN HUDSON VALLEY”

SUSAN SAID
BIG LIFE

STEVE ADDABBO
OUT OF NOTHING
www.steveaddabbo.com
www.cdbaby.com/Artist/SteveAddabbo
Susan Said plays big bang rock on
Big Life, their third CD for Bite Me
Records. The musicians wield hefty hooks
to spotlight the ugliness, savagery, and
insanity that plague human relationships
— drug addiction, alcoholism, homelessness, unfaithfulness, revenge, bad parenting, and even incest. Despair, loathing,
and alienation permeate the record. Most
of the characters bolt their situations as
soon as they can. But a small few wallow
in the mud. Susan Sed wrote all the lyrics
and music. The killing band consists of
Susan Sed (vocals, rhythm guitar), Matt
Rocchio (bass), and Brendan Saadat (lead
guitar). Matt Rocchio produced and Bruce
Buchanan mixed the record lending it
major label gloss.
Each song details a devastating
situation. In the title track, “Big Life,” a
homeless person rails at a passerby, “You
live inside a palace, I have to fight for
space. I give the rats their names now.
They come and carry me away.” A teenager jumps into her “Car” and jacks the
radio up to escape an angry father and a
mother who drinks. It gets worse in
“Daddy Will Keep You.” “Daddy’s coming
round, I can hear the sound. Footsteps on
the floor, hide behind the door. Daddy’s
very strong, does he know it’s wrong. Try
to close my eyes, better not to cry.”
“Politician” takes up where Cream left
off. “Keep on talkin’, you crazy politician.
Keep on walkin’, bullshit is your mission.
And the universe is all you really want.”
How and why some of these people
hook up beats the Hell out of me! In “I
Just Don’t Care,” Susan Sed tries to
explain. “He’s magical with the lying, He’s
got the lines and he’s trying to get inside
my head, to see what he can get. His conversation is mangled. His words deceitfully dangle right in front of me, but I
won’t believe.” The wordless, singalong
chorus to “Dirty Whiskey” belies the pain.
“How can you treat me so dishonestly,
when I saved your life many times?
Hangin’ around with your cool junkie
friends. Gettin’ high and going out of
your mind.” “You’ll Cry Too” presents
revenge as a palatable option. “You say
I’ll get over it soon. Nothing lasts too
long. And nothing seems to affect the
way you feel about things. Are you there
at all? You’ll cry too. You don’t know it
yet.”
Susan Sed lays it on the line in a
loud, clear voice. The band hammers it in.
Sometimes I lie awake at night and think
of similar situations. Then I have to turn
the light on. But soon there will be
nowhere to hide. Susan Said will rule the
modern rock airwaves! (09/23/16)
Renowned record producer, engineer, mixer, guitarist, and songwriter
Steve Addabbo takes center stage on his
first solo LP, Out of Nothing. The man
who helped launch the careers of
Bleecker Street denizens Suzanne Vega
and Shawn Colvin also guided and produced Eric Andersen, Jeff Buckley, and
Loudon Wainwright III. The fourteen
songs written/co-written by Addabbo
showcase his fine, soft, laid-back sensibilities as well as high, reedy voice.
Musicians include Steve Addabbo
(vocals, guitars, keys, bass), Steve Holley
(drums), Tommy Nagy (drums), Wyatt
Offit (drums) John Patitucci (bass),
Byron Isaacs (upright bass), Larry
Campbell (pedal steel), Eric Andersen
(Fender Rhodes).
These most intriguing vignettes of
Americana deal with individuals
attempting to come to grips with the
vagaries of life. A couple falls in love
over dinner and joyously lingers to the
restaurant’s closing time in the countrified “Empty Plates, Full Glasses.” A man
and woman’s relationship suddenly
shifts gears in the ebullient “Cynthia’s
Kiss.” An itinerant troubadour spends
years searching for his soulmate and
musical partner in the wistful “My
Emmylou.” In the Indy classic “Left of
Center,” written with Suzanne Vega and
made famous in the film “Pretty in
Pink,” “You can find me left of center
off the avenue, in the outskirts and in
the fringes...wondering about you.” A
“Shot in the Dark” can change everything. Can we keep love safe and
sound in this “Oasis” we’ve found? “Life
it goes on and on” behind locked doors
and in the streets and stores of a small
Westchester, Hudson “River town.”
Steve Addabbo masters his pieces
using a misty, subdued, understated palette of Telecasters, acoustic guitars,
piano, drums, and bass — always
focused on the vocals and the story they
tell. It makes sense as Addabbo not only
mixes, produces, and engineers, he also
spends a fair amount of time on the
road accompanying Eric Andersen,
Richard Barone, and others on guitar.
If you find yourself yearning for a
time when the art of simple, accompanied storytelling reigned supreme in
the music world, take a dip in the rarefied waters of Steve Addabbo. For “Out
of Nothing,” everything shall come!
