"Sexmob celebrates 20 years by deleting the space between the two words of its name and releasing Cultural Capital, the band’s first album of all-original material by leader Steven Bernstein." - Relix

"Sexmob's new CD, 'Cultural Capital' comes in a plain, brown cardboard sleeve....Bernstein writes the catchy tunes....peppered with dance beats from tango to Jamaican dub to Jewish wedding. They....have a gleefully rude side." - NPR

Bernstein’s on-stage antics and the band’s amazing musicianship are the focal points. They never rehearse. They never have a set list. Things are constantly fresh.

Chris Pureka with The Harmaleighs, Haley Grant, Kaylee JaspersonThe Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Portland-based singer-songwriter Chris Pureka's body of work has resonated deeply with seemingly disparate milieus. Her bold vulnerability in processing the intimacies of her life in song has long appealed to listeners who crave authenticity.

She’s shared the stage with artists such as Dar Williams, The Lumineers, The Cowboy Junkies, Gregory Alan Isakov, Martin Sexton, and Ani DiFranco.

The Harmaleighs (pronunciation: the har-muh- lees) honestly craft poetic, passionate, and powerful songs cut from a pastiche of indie, folk, pop and Americana. In 2015, the band - Haley Grant [lead vocals, guitar] and Kaylee Jasperson [bass, harmonies]—embarked on a modern odyssey in support of their independent full-length debut, "Pretty Picture, Dirty Brush".

The band-mates and partners hit the road with their 8-month-old pug Gus sleeping on the dashboard for the next nine months. The trials, tribulations, and triumphs of this trek would ultimately inspire their upcoming EP, "Hiraeth".

Described by the Huguenot Herald as “a smokin’ band whose joyous renditions of R&B, Soul and Swing will lift your heart, gathering the boisterous energy of a dancing crowd and channeling it into a melodic explosion”, Soul Purpose delivers a visceral rhythm and soul sound to an ever-growing fan base.

Messenger of Holiday Love, Slam Allen, invites the world to swing in and celebrate the season!

The internationally renowned Slam Allen is a messenger of love - a dynamic entertainer using the genres of Blues, Soul, R&B, and a touch of Rock & Roll to deliver powerful soul-stirring performances.

Slam captures you with a voice that echoes Otis Redding, a guitar that immerses you in B. B. King and stage energy reminiscent of James Brown, while captivating you with his original music!

Slam Allen is more than a singer, songwriter, and guitar player. He has connected with his audiences like the entertainers of a bygone era - Otis Redding, B.B., Albert, and Freddie King, with some Wilson Picket, James Brown, Sly Stone and a little George Benson and Jimi Hendrix thrown in to the experience.

With seven original albums under his belt, he brings back what the music world needs - the love and uplifting honesty that makes for a powerful and entertaining experience.

Peekskill, NY   See Map
Sarah Wise and Chevonne first met as two curly haired, go-getter Girl Scouts before joining forces in their high school a cappella group, choir and musicals. Recently reunited with a smoldering set in Williamsburg, Sarah and Chevonne are thrilled to bring their collective bands to Peekskill. All of Sarah's bandmates have played with Chevonne & The Fuzz extensively, promising for a giant 12 Grapes jam!

Sarah Wise is an Americana/Roots/Rock driven singer songwriter blending searing, searching lyrics with soaring, gritty vocals reminiscent of Patty Griffin and Lucinda Williams.

Chevonne & The Fuzz is a powerhouse rock band hailing from NJ. Combining the spirited, rough-and-tumble stage presence of No Doubt, the timeless rock grit and vocal power of Heart (Chevonne toured as backup vocalist for Lady Gaga & was a Season 3 contestant on The Voice) with the face-melting crunch of The Foo Fighters.

12 Grapes. Bringing the NYC Music scene to Westchester.
