SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: Oobleck
DESCRIPTION:Oobleck\n\n\nGrungy original horn funk inspired by the after-dark variety of New Orleans street music\nOobleck A high-octane\, five-piece funk band that’s been playing around the Capital Region\, Hudson Valley\, and Vermont since 2008. It’s a melee of horns\, super heavy drums and bass\, and your favorite type of chunky guitar riffing that leaves your bum shaking and your face grinning.\n\nHighly improvised\, kinetic\, effect-soaked horns create textural soundscapes with razor sharp horn lines. The vibe is high-energy and dance-focused – the rhythm section interlocked and syncopated\, keeping us in the pocket and the dancers moving.\n\nInvoking the spirit of ’70’s electric experimental jazz pioneers like Dizzy Gillespie\, Cannonball Adderly\, Donald Byrd\, and Herbie Hancock and bringing in harder-modern avant-funk influences like Galactic\, Budos Band\, and sax virtuoso Skerik\, Oobleck delivers a one of a kind sound and energy not matched by many in the local scene.\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				“Sometimes they pump out the stone-cold soul-funk of the JBs.

Ghost Town Blues Band has performed all across US\, Europe and Canada at over 175+ festivals and will announce almost a half-dozen international tours in 2026. \nGTBB’s new album Shine debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart. \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				“GTBB shows what can happen when the past is distilled through young sensibilities\, voices\, and instruments.

SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: The Bluebillies
DESCRIPTION:The Bluebillies\nThe Bluebillies don’t just sing Country songs; they embody them\, performing their unique blend of country\, bluegrass and folk music with traditional style\, sound and spirit. Husband and wife team Mark and Melody Guarino have been singing together since 1984 when they first made it their mission to help revive and preserve the rich heritage of this great and uniquely American art form. With the addition of the Frank Orsini on fiddle and guitarist Greg Bucking\, The Bluebillies were complete and perform together with all the joy and simpatico that only a “family” band can produce. The Bluebillies produce a series of traveling Old-time Gospel Music Revues each season\, and also host their own gospel music open mic each summer\, and have released three Cd’s; Adirondack Angels in 2016\, Gal From Ioway in 2014\, and Train to Paradise in 2013. The Bluebillies are: \nMel “Melba Deen” Guarino was born in Sioux City Iowa to parents who both were musicians in swing bands. The family traveled all around the Midwest following the music and eventually settled in her dirt road one horse hometown of Black Oak Indiana. After hitchhiking and traveling all over the USA\, Mel settled in New York City where she played with various rock and folk bands. But soon she returned to the music she first heard and loved in Black Oak\, where Country Music was the music of choice among the population who had moved up North to find work in the gritty steel mills of Whiting and Gary. And it was the music that would become the driving force behind The Bluebillies style that forges close harmony bluegrass and hillbilly music into one heart-wrenching all-American wail. Melody is a prolific\, award winning songwriter (LARAC songwriter grant\, 2013) \nMark Guarino cut his teeth on rockabilly and country in his first band\, Buck Libido\, and opened for bands like Pure Prairie League and New Riders of the Purple Sage. His NYC based band\, The Ring\, toured New England opening for acts such as The Ramones\, Jason and the Scorchers\, and Whitesnake. He is an accomplished songwriter and seasoned stage performer\, well known throughout the lower Adirondack region. \nFrank Orsini has been one of the prominent acoustic musicians of Upstate New York. He plays violin\, viola and mandolin\, and has recently taken up Celtic harp. A versatile fiddler\, singer and seasoned ensemble player\, he has been on numerous recordings and been a member of many established groups with a strong following including the Whipper-Snappers\, the Upstate Bluegrass Band and the High Flyers. \nGreg Bucking has spent the past two decades writing for and performing in a variety of projects and musical styles. One of his current bands\, The Vine Brothers\, has recorded three albums and spent the last five years touring across the US. His song “Three Bottles” was featured on the Discovery Channel show Vegas Rat Rods. Greg also wrote and recorded three albums for the New York based Mother Freedom\, one for Broken Carousel\, and penned the score for the independent film My Brother Jack. Greg also regularly performs with the NYC ska sensations The Scofflaws. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learn More About the Band\n			\n				Listen on YouTube Music

Whether an electronic trio or a 7-piece band with dancers\, Gentleman Brawlers loves to engage an audience\, and the audience loves them right back. The BBC’s Tom Robinson hailed them as “a virtuoso live band\, grooving together like a beautifully engineered machine.” \nChanneling musical inspo Talking Heads\, the band’s distinct brand of Afrofunk and indie dance music becomes a visual as well as auditory feast on stage that Canadian blog The Revue calls “tantalizing and intoxicating.” Fox\, leading an expandable cast of dancers\, creates thrilling\, immersive live shows. A multi-disciplinary artist of Haitian and Jewish descent\, Fox embodies what it means to be mixed\, taking virtuosic dance turns in an eclectic range of styles from rhythm tap and West African to pop-modern contemporary.  With dance performances at the Metropolitan Opera (“Eurydice” and “Lucia di Lammermoor”) and numerous European TV ad campaigns to her credit\, Fox brings a potent\, incendiary presence to the stage that Arts Council of Greater New Haven described as “…airborne…half-vocalist\, half-bird.” \nGentleman Brawlers has two distinct musical incarnations – live and in studio – that elevate and inform each other. Through a sonic blend of disco-based horn lines\, sticky highlife guitar\, and polyrhythms from West Africa\, Trinidad\, and Brazil\, Gentleman Brawlers’ live shows ignite a community-based\, improvisational energy; audience engagement is integral to the band’s identity. In studio\, the band will often reimagine their songs through an experimental EDM lens. Whether the audience is on the dance floor or pressing play\, Gentleman Brawlers always delivers an exuberant\, celebratory experience. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learn More About the Band\n			\n				Listen on YouTube Music\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learn More About the Band\n			\n				Listen on YouTube Music
