SUMMARY:Rock Tavern Chapter:  Jerry Mitnick
DESCRIPTION:The Rock Tavern Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild is pleased to be featuring Jerry Mitnick.\n\nJerry Mitnick\, aka Minique Flambeau\n\n\nI’ve been a performing and recording musician\, singer/songwriter for over 50 years. (Yikes!) ..born in NYC\, and now since ’88\, home in the Hudson Valley. Toured the world with various bands\, ….bass and vocals with:  ’71-87 with Bev Grant & The Human Condition\,  NYC with The Lonely Rangers\, The Meteors\, Jo Marshal Band\, recorded and toured Norway as minique flambeau for a year with The Rodney C. Riley Band (’79-80)\,  theater and musicals\, The Natl Lampoon Show’s  “That’s Not Funny\, That’s Sick” natl tour\,…then Wdstk since ’88 to the present (Hang Time\, the Phantoms\, etc\, …now  been performing acoustically locally and recording original music conveniently comfortable in home studio. \nSo I’d never have to work for a music-club owner ever again\, I became one in ’88\, owning\, operating and performing at local music venues in Woodstock NY from ’88-2001\, (Tinker St. Cafe\, and the Joyous Lake\, and have recently published a memoir of the years spent at Tinker st Cafe titled “The Music in the Walls\, stories and anecdotes from TSC ’88-’98 “\, available at/in most book stores and venues in the Hudson valley. \nMy mission in music is to have it set a mood to feel like we’re all here together…just please\, don’t chew food when we’re singin’…. \n  \nReview from show at the 2 Moon Cafe\, Bklyn\, ny\, backabit: \nThis past fri. eve. I had the pleasure of experiencing Jerry Mitnick (aka Minique Flambeau) perform an accoustic gig at the 2 Moon Cafe in Park Slope. He captivated me and the crowd with his humor\, story telling\, and timelessly entertaining selection of music and lyrics\,  at times encouraging us to join in and sing along.  Given the way he performed I believe his Folk-Bluesy voice has many years left in the old fart. His voice improves like a transcendent bottle of wine. He truly loves his craft. I hope this review inspires many of us to see him perform sometime soon.  Lots of love and creativity is inspired by his expression of music . Thanks Jerry.” –  Sam Bonsignore\, Park Slope Gaze-att \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n\n\n\n\nOpen mic performances will be available to all.

There is no admission charge. \nA newly formed musical group\, Storm King Skyline (Kevin & Carol Becker\, Rich Keyes\, Ken Sheehan\, Linda Sheehan) has developed a unique sound that combines breathtaking vocals\, instrumental dexterity\, and a synergy that comes only from an intimate knowledge of each other’s talents. That sound starts with Kevin’s intricate finger picked guitar\, augmented by his impeccable harmonica playing. Carol’s soaring vocals – clear\, bright\, and pure\, stand out when singing solo and form compelling harmonies with Kevin and Ken’s baritone voices. Ken adds the skillful touch of a virtuoso on guitar and the sound is all anchored by Rich’s solid rhythms on upright bass and his driving bluegrass-influenced banjo. They feature other instruments as well\, notably mountain dulcimer\, recorder\, bodhran\, and Appalachian limber horse. Their repertoire ranges from historical ballads to songs of social significance and from traditional folk songs to the original songs of the band members. Storm King Skyline has an easy manner and relaxed stage presence which encourages audience participation and contributes to their entertaining performances. \nMask and proof of vaccination required. \nFor more information on the Lifelong Learning Institute at Vassar College\, including a map of the Vassar College campus\, go to https://pages.vassar.edu/lifelonglearning/. \n  \nDirections\nYou can locate Blodgett Hall by entering the Vassar Campus at the North Gate (at approximately 54 Collegeview Ave.\, Poughkeepsie\, N.Y.).

DESCRIPTION:“I am Dave Feroe from Red Hook\, NY. I was born and raised in the Poughkeepsie\, NY area. I have played the guitar and sung songs my whole life. \n“Today I enjoy performing cover tunes\, as I was never much for writing a song. I did write ‘Straight As Time\,’ a song for my wife Ann. I pride myself in my style of guitar playing. Hope you enjoy.” \nHVFG Note: Dave is a magical performer who creates a mood that allows the listener to drop into the song and experience being part of the music.
