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 URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/summer-concert-series-the-bluebillies/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Shepard Park,Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/The-Bluebillies.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260729T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260729T203000 DTSTAMP:20260729T180510Z CREATED:20260509T095609Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260729T180510Z UID:10000740-1785351600-1785357000@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Ghost Town Blues Band CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER DESCRIPTION:THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER\n\n\nA dynamic blues-rock group known for blending conventional blues with New Orleans brass\, Southern soul\, and improvisational jams\n  \nRecently headlining the blues stage at The Montreal Jazz Festival and appearing at The Lucerne Blues Festival in Switzerland\, Beale Street’s latest success story\, Tennessee Music Award Winner\, 5-time Blues Blast Music Award Nominee and International Blues Challenge Runner-up is Ghost Town Blues Band.

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.

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.

Light refreshments will be served. \nAbout the Exhibition\nIn Remnant / Revelation\, Mary Pat Wager explores the intersection of history\, industrial waste\, and cultural memory. Her heavy steel and mixed-material sculptures are meticulously constructed from vintage\, industrial\, and agrarian objects rescued from the quiet edges of the last century—sourced from junkyards\, estate sales\, and abandoned sites. \nThrough a laborious process of deconstruction\, welding\, and reconfiguration\, Wager transforms these forgotten remnants of our past into profound\, textured witnesses of human history. Her work does not merely mourn what our culture has cast aside; it interrogates it\, asking what our choices to discard ultimately reveal about who we are. \nRemnant / Revelation will be on display at the Courthouse Gallery from July 8th through August 8th \nGallery Hours\nWednesday through Friday\, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM\, and Saturdays\, 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the historic Old County Courthouse\, on the corner of Canada and Amherst Streets in Lake George Village.

Through welding\, deconstruction\, and reconstruction\, Wager forces these remnants into new configurations\, new conversations\, and new meaning. \nThe work does not mourn what was discarded. It interrogates it. Each piece asks what we chose to throw away — and what that choice reveals about us. \nIn Wager’s hands\, a remnant is never only what it was. It becomes a record. A relic. A mirror held up to a culture in the act of forgetting itself. The revelation is not in the transformation of the material — it is in what the material was already trying to say. \nIn the artist’s words\, “I work across metal\, wood\, clay\, and found objects\, often combining them in ways that collapse past and present. The histories embedded in these materials are not erased when I use them; they are layered\, distorted\, and ultimately woven into something new.” \nRemnant / Revelation invites the viewer to reconsider the boundary between waste and witness\, between the end of one story and the beginning of another. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Artist\nMary Pat Wager is a sculptor whose work transforms found and salvaged materials — metal\, wood\, clay and the accumulated objects of ordinary life — into three-dimensional forms charged with memory\, history\, and meaning. Working primarily through assemblage\, welding\, casting and fabrication\, she creates sculpture that collapses the distance between past and present\, asking viewers to reckon with what objects carry and what they leave behind. \nWager’s work is held in numerous public and private collections and has been exhibited nationally and internationally across more than four decades of sustained practice. Corporate collections include Blue Cross/Blue Shield\, General Electric\, Key Bank\, McDonald’s Corporation\, Omni Corporation\, and Phoenix Life Insurance. Her work is also held in permanent collections at Castle Breitenbach Sculpture Park\, the Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University\, the Schenectady Museum\, and the State University of New York at Albany. \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Reception: Saturday\, July 11th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\n \n Learn more\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 Courthouse Gallery\n1 Lower Amherst Street\nLake George\, NY 12845\n518-668-2616\nHours: \nWednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PM\nSaturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PM\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THANK YOU!\n \n \n \n \n \n Throughout the year\, we offer 17 exhibitions of work by emerging and established artists in our Courthouse Gallery and in partner locations throughout\nLake George. \nWe are able to do this because of the support of our sponsors and LGAP members.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This program is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

Using 3D rendering software\, the artist creates elaborately detailed scenes of suburban sprawl centered on bizarre arrangements of cookie-cutter houses. Channeling both the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte and the filmmaker David Lynch\, Williams’ scenes are bathed in a glaring\, bright daylight that underscores the equally familiar and strange rules and rituals of modern homeownership. In the artist’s words\, “I’m particularly interested in blurring the line between dreams and reality\, creating sensations of strange tranquility.” The artist has noted elsewhere that there are “a lot of interesting stories to be told about the suburbs\,” and his method of sharing them is by first removing all visual traces of people\, pets\, and cars\, so that houses\, yards\, streets\, and sidewalks become the protagonists of his narrative. \nBio\nHayden Clay is a visual artist currently living and working in Frederick\, Maryland (USA). His practice centers around 3D digital art\, through which he creates surreal visual worlds that blur the boundaries between dreams and reality. His imagery is marked by a clean\, minimal aesthetic\, where simple natural elements are transformed into poetic\, otherworldly scenes. \nClay combines technical precision with emotionally resonant visual language. His use of pastel tones\, soft lighting\, and organic compositions evokes a meditative atmosphere. Many of his works move between utopia and dystopia\, between digital simulation and the familiarity of memory. He draws inspiration from nature\, childhood recollections\, and everyday sensory experiences—such as the warmth of sunlight on skin or the smell of freshly cut grass. \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s ReceptionSaturday\, May 16th4:00 – 6:00 PM\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 Courthouse Gallery\n1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PMSaturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PM\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THANK YOU!\n \n \n \n \n \n Throughout the year\, we offer 17 exhibitions of work by emerging and established artists in our Courthouse Gallery and in partner locations throughoutLake George. \nWe are able to do this because of the support of our sponsors and LGAP members.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This program is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

He has appeared on over 50 recordings and been a major presence on the international touring scene. In the Spring of 2001 he released his first recording as a leader entitled Ritualism\, which has already received major international critical appraise and was nominated for Debut CD of the Year in 2001 by the Jazz Journalists Association. Mr. Gilmore was also recently voted into the Rising Stars category in DownBeat Magazine’s Critic’s Poll. \nBorn and raised in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, Gilmore sought out music at a young age experimenting with piano\, drums and percussion before discovering the guitar at the age of 15. After a few years of private study with Boston local guitar gurus John Baboian and Randy Roos\, Gilmore moved to New York to attend New York University\, where he studied under the tutelage of sax titan Joe Lovano and pianist Jim McNeely. Shortly after his graduation in 1987\, Gilmore began touring and recording in earnest with many of the members of the fledging M-Base Collective\, and soon after began to find himself in many other diverse musical situations\, recording and/ or touring with Ronald Shannon Jackson\, Trilok Gurtu\, Graham Haynes\, Robin Eubanks\, and Lonnie Plaxico. In the early 1990’s he became an active member of the popular jazz/fusion group Lost Tribe\, co-producing their first two recordings for the Windham Hill Label. \nOver the years he has also lent his skills to a variety of pop/ commercial acts including Japan’s Monday Michiru\, Me’shell N’Degeocello\, Melissa Etheridge\, Joan Osbourne\, Mavis Staples\, Issac Hayes\, Boz Scaggs\, Tommy Lang of Austria\, Rise Robots Rise\, and toured extensively with multi-platinum selling artist Joss Stone. In 1995 Gilmore got the call to join sax legend Wayne Shorter’s group\, and appears on Mr. Shorter’s Grammy Award winning album\, High Life on Verve. He can be found most recently on recordings by Christian McBride\, Carolyn Leonhart\, Don Byron\, Ron Blake and Uri Caine. \nAs a composer\, improviser and guitarist\, Gilmore is committed to pushing the boundaries of improvisational music\, at the same time without alienating the uninitiated listener. His music reflects the diverse musical influences and experiences he has assimilated throughout his career. The exploration of rhythm is a major component of his music\, utilizing many non-Western approaches and integrating them into a modern framework. Gilmore was a recipient of the Chamber Music America New Works Composer Grant\, enabling him to compose a commisioned work entitled “African Continuum” which was performed in public in the Spring and Fall of 2003. His playing has been compared to guitarists with styles as diverse as George Benson\, Wes Montgomery\, Jimi Hendrix and Leo Nocentelli. \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 David Gilmore – guitarLuis Perdomo – pianoBrad Jones- bassE.J.

Castañeda brings forth a brilliance that beautifully merges the jazz tradition with a diverse set of styles and genres while bringing unbridled attention to a somewhat unfamiliar instrument: the harp. Singlehandedly\, Castañeda has cemented the harp’s place in jazz with innovative technique and heartfelt creativity from a wealth of formidable collaborations with music titans such as Wynyton Marsalis\, Bela Fleck\, John Scofield\, Ricki Lee Jones\, Hiromi\, Pedrito Martinez\, Marcus Miller\, Gonzalo Rubalcaba\, Ivan Lins\, The Yellowjackets\, Paco De Lucia\, and Paquito D’Rivera.  \nIn the same breath as the Yo-Yo Ma’s of the world\, Castañeda fearlessly stuns audiences\, musicians\, and critics alike with his incredible talents as a player and composer. NPR’s “Fresh Air” touts\, “…his technique is the real astonishment. Castañeda juggles lead\, rhythm and bass lines\, using a variety of hard and soft string attacks to keep those voices distinct — all without giving up the groove…His amazing technique…raises the bar for every harpist.” The New York Times notes\, “…Castaneda… engage[s] modern jazz in ways that honor…cultural origins\, and [he has] the capacity to astonish by virtue of [his] fingerstyle technique.” Moses Sumney highlights his “5 Favorite NPR “Tiny Desk Concerts” and says\, “My brain cracked open when I first saw this. Some classical instruments are so ingrained in our heads for sounding one way; Edmar restructures what we know of harp\, defiantly expanding the bounds of the instrument.”  \nCastañeda follows up seven acclaimed albums (Cuarto de Colores; Entre Cuerdas; Double Portion; Live at the Jazz Standard; Live In Montreal; Harp vs. Harp; Family ) with his latest recording project\, Viento Sur\, with a nine-person ensemble of acclaimed global musicians from Switzerland\, Brazil\, Cuba\, Israel\, Chile\, USA\, Argentina\, and Colombia. An array of compositions on Viento Sur are commissioned by American Chamber Music from the “New Jazz Works Grant.”  \nCastañeda’s renowned albums as a bandleader are interchanged with awe-inspiring symphonic and bigband works likes Wynton Marsalis Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, Clássica de Espinho and the São Paulo Jazz Symphony Orchestra\, and chamber pieces for the Israel Camerata Jerusalem and the Orquestra Sinfónica Nacional de Colombia. \nIn fall 2021\, Castañeda’s work was released in Disney’s Encanto\, which features original songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Castañeda acts on the soundtrack and served as music consultant on Encanto.  \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 HIS MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Béla Fleck & Edmar Castañeda: Live at Big Ears Festival 2019 | JAZZ NIGHT IN AMERICA\n​\n \n \n \n \n \n Live Sessions from Jazz at Lincoln Center: Edmar Castañeda\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 Edmar Castañeda URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/edmar-castaneda-quartet/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz at the lake,Jazz Weekend,Shepard Park ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/7.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250914T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250914T141500 DTSTAMP:20250502T161133Z CREATED:20250502T155942Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250502T161133Z UID:10000574-1757854800-1757859300@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Trio Grande DESCRIPTION:About ​Gilad Hekselman & Trio Grande\n​Gilad Hekselman is one of the leading voices in jazz guitar.

The album embodies the collective sound of Miami: a blend of Latin pop\, timba\, salsa\, bachata\, tango\, reggaeton\, and bolero. Reminiscent of the city’s diverse Latino community\, the album calls upon Rodriguez’s roots just as much as his newly-learned experiences.  \nIn his new home\, Rodriguez took note of the limited cross-pollination and few collaborations that existed between mainstream Latin music and Latin jazz. Coral Way\, which features guest vocalists Cimafunk and Alana Sinkëy\, serves as the connective tissue between these worlds—an artistic statement for the diverse Latin community to be seen\, be heard\, and take pride in their history\, while creating community through individuality. \nRodriguez notes\, “I play what I live\, and Coral Way is my new life. It is the name of the street on which\, for the past 3 years\, I have been composing this album\, and now I’m excited that people from all over the world will finally get to hear it in an expansive way\, with a full live band.” \nBorn and raised in Havana\, Cuba\, Rodriguez’s world was confined by the numerous restrictions imposed by his country. With limited options\, his parents enrolled him in a classical conservatory\, but he was quickly shut down by his first teacher who declared him devoid of talent. Despite pushback\, his love for piano grew so strong that he wasn’t even deterred by not having a piano to practice on at home; instead\, he painted piano keys on his parents’ dinner table so he could run his scales. \nIn 2006\, at age 19\, he received an invitation to represent Cuba at the Montreux Jazz Festival (MJF) in the International Solo Piano Competition. After applying and auditioning as a composer\, alongside twelve of the top pianists in the world\, he was accepted and made his way to Switzerland\, where he ended up being invited to festival founder Claude Nobs’ chalet to play for the guests\, one of whom happened to be legendary producer Quincy Jones. Upon Jones’ return to Los Angeles\, he couldn’t get Alfredo out of his mind. He called his VP\, Adam Fell\, and explained that Alfredo was one of the best pianists he had ever seen and they needed to work with him. Little did they know\, Alfredo had only received permission to travel to Switzerland to play in the competition (as it was difficult for Cubans to obtain a travel visa)\, and also learned it would be illegal to work with him due to the Cuban embargo. \nCubans were not allowed to work in the U.S.\, and could only arrive at U.S. border stations to seek political asylum—meaning that Alfredo would have to relinquish his Cuban citizenship and jeopardize his ability to return home until he obtained a green card. After a year and a half of contemplating\, he mustered up the courage and made the difficult decision to leave his family behind for a country that could offer him the platform he needed to share the broader message of his music with more people. \nIt’s evident the journey was worth it because not only has Alfredo earned frequent appearances on prestigious stages around the world such as the Playboy Jazz Festival\, North Sea Jazz Festival\, Jazz in Marciac\, Umbria Jazz and \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJazz A Vienne\, but additionally\, Rodriguez was nominated for a Grammy® in the category of “Best Arrangement\, Instrumental or A Cappella\,” for the track “Guantanamera\,” from his album\, The Invasion Parade. Additionally\, during his first tour in China\, Rodriguez was asked to work with Tan Dun\, Siedah Garrett\, and Quincy Jones to compose the English version of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo theme song\, becoming the first non-Chinese artist to be bestowed this honor. He’s also been featured over the years by All Things Considered\, Downbeat\, The New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, and Wall Street Journal among many others\, and performed for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert. \nRodriguez continues to share his music along with his impactful message of perseverance and cross culturalization on an international tour\, while sharing a variety of viral social media videos in which he plays well-known compositions in a Cuban timba style. \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 Alfredo Rodriguez – Piano\nHan Beyli – Bass\nArmando Lopez – Drums\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 HIS MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Alfredo Rodriguez Trio | Live on KUVO!\n \n \n \n \n \n Alfredo Rodríguez Trio: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert\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 Alfredo Rodríguez URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/alfredo-rodriguez-trio/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz at the lake,Jazz Weekend,Shepard Park ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/5.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250913T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250913T181500 DTSTAMP:20250502T153027Z CREATED:20250502T152723Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250502T153027Z UID:10000570-1757782800-1757787300@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Jeremy Pelt Quintet DESCRIPTION:About Jeremy Pelt\nJeremy Pelt has become one of the preeminent young trumpeters within the world of jazz. Forging a bond with the Mingus Big Band very early on\, as his career progressed\, Pelt built upon these relationships and many others which eventually lead to collaborations with some of the genre’s greatest masters. These projects include performances and recordings with Cliff Barbaro\, Keter Betts\,  \nBobby “Blue” Bland\, Ravi Coltrane\, Frank Foster\, Winard Harper\, Jimmy Heath\, Vincent Herring\, John Hicks\, Charli Persip\, Ralph Peterson\, Lonnie Plaxico\, Bobby Short\, Cedar Walton\, Frank Wess\, Nancy Wilson and The Skatalites\, to name a few. \nPelt frequently performs alongside such notable ensembles as the Roy Hargrove Big Band\, The Village Vanguard Orchestra and the Duke Ellington Big Band\, and is a member of the Lewis Nash Septet and The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band featuring Louis Hayes. As a leader\, Pelt has recorded ten albums and has toured globally with his various ensembles\, appearing at many major jazz festivals and concert venues. \nPelt’s recordings and performances have earned him critical acclaim\, both nationally and internationally. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal by legendary jazz writer and producer\, Nat Hentoff\, and was voted Rising Star on the trumpet\, five years in a row by Downbeat Magazine and the Jazz Journalist Association.

When it came time to select the song that she would perform in the final round\, she picked a standard that reflected her musical sensibility\, colored in equal parts by the beauty of jazz and the Latin American songbook. \n“We played ‘What a Difference a Day Makes\,’ which was popularized by Dinah Washington\, but in its initial incarnation was a bolero written in Spanish by María Grever\,” she says from her home in New York City. “We started it as a jazz ballad in English\, then switched to Spanish and added some zapateado dancing. My mother arrived with a contingent of fellow Mexicans to cheer me on. She told me that being able to sing in Spanish while dancing was what made me different from everyone else.” \nLucía won the competition\, and the fact that she did it with such a soulful\, multicultural rendition of a jazz standard also marked her arrival on the music scene. “What a Difference a Day Makes” is now the opening cut of the self-titled Lucía\, an exquisite debut album that showcases the luminous qualities of her voice\, and her superb technique and versatility. \nFrom her velvety reading of McCoy Tyner and Sammy Cahn’s “You Taught My Heart To Sing” and an achingly vulnerable cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Lacy” to a mournful “Alfonsina y el Mar” and a version of “Veracruz” that brims with Lucía’s Mexican pride\, the album finds the emerging singer surrounded by a cadre of jazz virtuosos: Venezuelan pianist Edward Simon\, American double-bassist Larry Grenadier\, Mexican drummer Antonio Sánchez\, and Puerto Rican saxophonist David Sánchez. The session was helmed by visionary producer Matt Pierson\, known for his work with legends such as Brad Mehldau\, Milton Nascimento and Samara Joy. \n\n\n\n\nHer innate talent was nurtured from a very young age. Born in Veracruz\, Lucía Gutiérrez Rebolloso began performing at age two\, together with her parents Laura Rebolloso and Ramón Gutiérrez and their acclaimed Son de Madera\, a son jarocho ensemble. She grew up surrounded by fandangos and the son jarocho community\, and is also the niece of Quetzal Flores\, founder of the Los Angeles-based Chicano rock band Quetzal. Most importantly\, Lucía’s parents played many records at home – from the salsa nuggets of El Gran Combo to the Latin folk of Mercedes Sosa and the healing Soul sides of Aretha Franklin. \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 Lucía – vocals \nGabriel Chakarji  – piano\nGuillermo Lopez – bass\nJullian Miltenberg – drums\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 HER MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Full Performance at Joe’s Pub on January 9th\, 2025\nJoe’s Pub is a program of The Public Theater and named for its founder Joseph Papp\, opened in 1998 and plays a vital role in The Public’s mission of supporting young artists while providing established artists with an intimate space to perform and develop new work. \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 Lucía URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/lucia/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz at the lake,Jazz Weekend ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250913T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250913T141500 DTSTAMP:20250911T131623Z CREATED:20250502T144530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250911T131623Z UID:10000669-1757768400-1757772900@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Matt Wilson's Honey & Salt DESCRIPTION:About Matt Wilson\nFew musicians embody the spontaneous energy of jazz like Matt Wilson. The New York-based drummer combines buoyant zeal\, idiosyncratic style\, infectious humor\, joyous swing and an indomitable spirit of surprise. Together\, with his universally recognized personal warmth\, these qualities have made Wilson one of the most in-demand players and educators on the modern jazz scene\, both beloved and respected by his peers\, elders and students. Not bad for a mischievous Midwestern boy from Knoxville\, Illinois. \nWhether anchoring an all-star group at the White House\, juggling tricky rhythmic swerves with his own quartets\, celebrating the holidays with his Christmas Tree-O\, exploring the poetry of Carl Sandburg\, sensitively supporting vocalists such as Dena DeRose\, presenting concerts at a neighborhood church or donning a superhero cape to inspire young musicians to embrace their individuality\, Wilson approaches music as a man on a mission: fostering a lively and passionate connection between music and people\, whether they be playing or listening to it. \nWilson has released thirteen albums as a leader. His latest recording\, Honey And Salt (Music Inspired By The Poetry Of Carl Sandburg)\, was recognized on over thirty worldwide “Best of 2017” lists\, including Top Ten in the National Public Radio Critics Poll\, JazzTimes\, Irish Times\, Boston Globe\, Jazziz and All About Jazz. The album received a coveted 5-star review (masterpiece) in DownBeat. On his previous album\, Beginning of a Memory (Palmetto)\, Wilson brought the musical and the personal together like never before\, uniting the members of all his ensembles into one aptly-named Big Happy Family to celebrate the life of his wife Felicia\, who lost her battle with leukemia in June 2014. This profound\, yet playful\, release also received a 5-star review in DownBeat and was selected as one of the top releases of 2016 by numerous publications\, including DownBeat\, JazzTimes and slate.com. It also cracked the Top Ten of the NPR Critics Poll. Wilson has made thirteen recordings as a leader for Palmetto Records since 1996\, including acclaimed releases by the Matt Wilson Quartet\, Arts & Crafts and the Christmas Tree-O. \nHe’s also co-led another dozen albums\, including duo outings with Lee Konitz and Steve Beresford\, Sifter (a trio with Mary Halvorson and Kirk Knuffke)\, MOB Trio and the acclaimed Trio M with his alliterative partner\, Myra Melford\, and Mark Dresser. And that’s only a drop in the proverbial bucket (and Matt has almost surely played a bucket or two\, proverbial and otherwise\, over the course of his career) in the context of an impressive discography that finds his distinctive style on more than 400 albums. That dizzying list includes releases by such greats as Dewey Redman\, Paul Bley\, Charlie Haden\, Lee Konitz\, Bob Stewart\, Cecil McBee\, Denny Zeitlin\, Ron Miles\, Jeff Lederer\, Marty Ehrlich\, Ted Nash\, Ray Anderson\, Don Friedman\, Jane Ira Bloom and Dena DeRose\, among many others. \nWilson has enjoyed performing for countless audiences across the country and around the world. One of his biggest honors came when he was invited to perform at a White House State Dinner hosted by President Obama in 2011\, where he played alongside a Who’s Who of jazz\, including Herbie Hancock\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, Dianne Reeves\, Chris Botti\, Randy Brecker\, Antonio Hart and James Genus. Add those names to an ever-growing list of legends with whom Wilson has performed\, including Andrew Hill\, Bobby Hutcherson\, Geri Allen\, Elvis Costello\, Candido Camero\, Freddie Redd\, Butch Warren\, Cedar Walton\, Kenny Barron\, Christian McBride\, John Zorn\, Benny Golson\, Buster Williams\, Marshall Allen\, Nels Cline\, Rufus Reid\, Jason Moran\, Bill Henderson\, Frank Wess\, Anat Cohen\, Steve Nelson\, George Cables\, Mulgrew Miller\, Chris Potter\, Regina Carter\, Benny Green\, John Clayton\, Bobby Watson\, Eddie Gomez\, Wynton Marsalis\, Paquito D’Rivera\, George Mraz\, Michael Brecker\, Pat Metheny\, Joe Lovano\, John Scofield\, Bill Frisell\, Hubert Laws and Hank Jones. \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\nMatt Wilson – Drums\nKirk Knuffke – Cornet\nJeff Lederer – Reeds\nMartin Wind – Bass \nDawn Clement – Piano & Vocals\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 HIS MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 13 Paper 1 and 2 Honey and Salt music by Matt Wilson Poem by Carl Sandburg\n​\n \n \n \n \n \n 08 CHOOSE Honey and Salt music by Matt Wilson Poem by Carl Sandburg\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 Matt Wilson Honey & Salt URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/matt-wilsons-honey-salt/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz at the lake,Jazz Weekend,Shepard Park ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250912T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250912T204500 DTSTAMP:20250902T131920Z CREATED:20250902T131917Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250902T131920Z UID:10000681-1757705400-1757709900@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Angelina & JP at the Inn of Lake George DESCRIPTION:Angelina & JP\n\n\nAngelina & JP are a musical duo from opposite ends of New York’s Capital Region\, brought together by a shared love of all things music. Angelina Valente studied Musical Theatre\, while JP Hubbs focused on Piano – but their paths crossed in 2017 when they both joined an eight-piece bluegrass band. What started as a big group collaboration quickly revealed a deeper musical connection and a desire to explore more as a duo. \nTogether\, they dive into jazz standards\, discover fresh takes on the genre\, and write originals.

In 2013\, Sara and Rachel joined forces with Grammy®-nominated jazz pianist Fred Hersch and recorded the album Alive in the Singing Air to rave reviews and its selection by jazz critic Thomas Cunniffe as one of the year’s “Best Vocal CDs” on Jazz History Online. Sara has performed at Carnegie Hall\, Village Vanguard\, Birdland\, Jazz at Lincoln Center\, SFJazz\, Disney Hall\, Barbican\, and Blue Note (NYC and Tokyo)\, and at jazz festivals including Newport\, Montreal\, Montreux\, North Sea\, Banlieues Bleues\, and Saratoga Springs\, among others. \nCurrently on faculty at the Berklee College of Music\, Manhattan School of Music\, The New School\, and New York University\, Sara’s formidable teaching experience also includes the Mark O’Connor String Camps\, the Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops\, the Indiana University String Academy\, and a private studio.

Finding that they shared similar frustrations about the emerging brass band scene in New York City\, co-founders Alex Harris and Ally Chapel came together to form a group dedicated to showcasing the talents of female musicians in a landscape that was dominated by male musicians and bandleaders. After debuting in March 2019\, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and was dubbed “the hardest working band in town” by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic. \nA core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as possible to increase the visibility of female musicians in brass bands. Brass Queens tour regularly across the country and internationally. Recent highlights include a New Year’s Eve performance in Breckenridge\, multiple nights at Favela Chic in New Orleans\, and a sold out show at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit. They also make appearances on festival stages including the Ottawa Jazz Festival\, Northlands Music Festival\, MusikFest\, Duck Jazz Festival\, and multiple appearances at the Exit Zero Jazz Festival. Brass Queens has played major events like The Met Gala and David Byrne’s “Amazing Humans Doing Amazing Things!” Variety Show\, and for notable clients including New Balance\, Chanel\, Saks Fifth Avenue\, Tiffany & Co.\, Bombas\, Perrier\, Facebook\, Instagram\, and Pinterest. They have also performed on national television on Good Morning America\, and had multiple shows at iconic New York venues like The Capitol Theater\, Blue Note Jazz Club\, and Brooklyn Bowl. They are also the 2023 winners of We Love NYC’s Rider’s Choice Award\, after the people of New York voted the Queens as their favorite of the MTA’s Music Under New York’s roster of subway performers. \nThe band has developed a signature style that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Their sound is deeply inspired by and pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat\, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance. The result is a nonstop party: a Brass Queens show will have you singing along to classic pop hits\, dancing your heart out to reggaeton\, and feeling like you’ve been transported to Frenchman Street. In February 2021\, Brass Queens released their debut EP “Royal Street\,” which takes listeners on a six-song journey beginning in the heart of New York City with a cover of Cameo’s “Candy\,” down to Royal St. with their take on a New Orleans traditional\, “Little Liza Jane.” In November 2023\, the band released their first full-length album titled “Black & Gold\,” which is an ode to the Brass Queen’s incredible early fanbase who supported the band from the virtual performances and socially-distanced street corners during the COVID-19 pandemic\, to the crowded clubs and packed venues of today. Less than a year later\, Brass Queens released their second full-length album and their first album of all-original music titled “Hot Tub Sessions Vol. I.” \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 “The ensemble pays tribute to the New Orleans brass band tradition\, using its force to generate a sonic capture of the city’s vitality.” — Relix\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 THIER MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Part Time Drummer by Brass Queens – NPR Tiny Desk Submission 2023\n \n \n \n \n \n Lady Marmalade (brass band cover) LIVE at Cafe Wha?\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 Brass Queens URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/brass-queens/ LOCATION:The Lake George Beach Club\, 3 Montcalm Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Shepard Park,Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FINAL-Rain-Location.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250730T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250730T203000 DTSTAMP:20250513T100523Z CREATED:20250513T100303Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250513T100523Z UID:10000671-1753902000-1753907400@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Professor Louie & The Crowmatix with the Woodstock Horns DESCRIPTION:Blues & Americana at it’s Best\nGrammy Nominated Professor Louie & The Crowmatix from Woodstock NY have been expanding the borders of the Americana\, Roots & Blues genres with Professor Louie’s stories\, keyboard playing\, singing and accordion.
