Circus Of Wolves together with Slick Aguilar are putting together a special collaboration at The Colony on December 12th, 2019. Slick needs no introduction.

Circus Of Wolves is comprised of seasoned musicians, who have played together in various configurations for years. The ‘Wolves’ concept is built on original material which blends jazz, soul, funk, folk and rock with some Latin and Brazilian accents.

Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship has been an enormous influence on their music. For this show, Slick will be adding his signature lead guitar sound to Circus Of Wolves, and together, they’ll be performing some new interpretations of Airplane and Starship favorites.

THE NOSTALGIA PERSONIFIED TOUR: AN EVENING WITH PETE & PETE

Let’s Get Nostalgic! Nostalgia Personified is an hour-long interactive live show born from the podcast The Adventures of Danny and Mike (featuring now grown TV brothers from Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Pete and Pete) in which child stars confront their past in the most humorous way possible– trading jabs (and old videos!) The show utilizes audio/visual segments and live stage competitions wrangled by co-host Jeremy Balon. Nostalgia Personified is a humorous look back at the nineties through the eyes of child stars.

This is a special HOLIDAY SHOW. In addition to the usual topics of conversation, they also will cover Mike’s experience starring in the classic 90s holiday films HOME ALONE, and HOME ALONE 2.

BAILEN

BAILEN’s gorgeous harmonies, striking arrangements and evocative songwriting springs from a very deep well. Growing up in NYC, the siblings, David, Daniel (twins!) and Julia Bailen were raised by their professional orchestral musician parents, and the young trio immersed themselves in a record collection that included Simon & Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell, Carole King and The Band. Their amazing three-part harmonies have been compared to The Staves and Fleet Foxes, however, on their debut album, Thrilled To Be Here, BAILEN have created something all their own. Produced by GRAMMY-Award winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Manchester Orchestra, The War on Drugs), BAILEN’s shiny gleam and meticulous songcraft combine with the group’s unusual self-awareness, musicality and bite.

HUNTER GATHERING

Hunter Gathering is a celebration of the life and art of Robert Hunter, best known as lyricist of the Grateful Dead, penning such great songs as TRUCKIN’, DARK STAR, UNCLE JOHN’S BAND, TERRAPIN STATION, AND RIPPLE. His principal songwriting partner was Jerry Garcia, but he also worked with other members of the band, as well as Bob Dylan, Los Lobos, Little Feat and others. He collaborated with Dylan on many songs for his albums, Together Through Life, and Down in the Groove. He is recognized as a member of the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Americana Music Association. Hunter “shuffled off the mortal coil” on September 23, 2019 – and his friends and admirers in the Catskills region are convening to give this brilliant artist a proper Woodstock send-off.

The program will begin at 7:00pm with a swirl of bagpipes, a drum invocation, eulogies, stories, poetry, solo and duet musical performances, and will culminate with a full-on Grateful Dead-inspired dance party.

Participating artists and friends include: Steve Kimock, Avinash, Rhoney Stanley, Michael Densmore, Gerrit Graham, Nicole Quinn, Sarah Fimm, Timothy Hill, Joel Bluestein, Joel Harrison, Doug Yoel, Denise Parent, Kyle Esposito, Doug Marcus, Peter Dougan, Jeremy Baum, Bob Resnick, Don LaSala, Johnny Stevens, Richmond Johnson, Mike Dubois, Ken Schneidman, Martin Mills, Erin Cadigan, Alan Trist, and more to be announced…

MICHAELA ANNE

Full of lush, sweeping arrangements and honest, deeply vulnerable self-examination, ‘Desert Dove’ marks a bold new chapter for Michaela Anne, both artistically and professionally. While the songwriting is still very much rooted in the classic country she’s come to be known for, the record (her first for Yep Roc) represents something of a sonic shift, incorporating more modern production elements than ever before in pursuit of a sound that owes as much influence to indie rock as honky tonk. Despite the bolder, more adventurous arrangements, Michaela’s crystalline voice remains front and center on the album, a pure, airy beam of light shining bravely into the dark corners of loneliness, pain, and desire that we all so often to try to hide.

RYLEY WALKER W/ CHRIS FORSYTH & GARCIA PEOPLES

Ryley Walker is the reincarnation of the true American guitar player. That’s as much a testament to his roving, rambling ways, or the fact that his Guild D-35 guitar has endured a few stints in the pawnshop. Swap out rural juke joints for rotted DIY spaces and the archetype is solidly intact…

PATTI ROTHBERG

Patti Rothberg’s recording career goes back to 1996, with her debut on EMI Records, ‘Between the 1 and the 9’, which refers to the time she spent performing in New York City’s 14th Street subway station. The title track relates some of her experiences, when EMI executive discovered Patti performing there. Seemingly overnight, Patti Rothberg achieved the kind of worldwide success one could only dream of. Critically acclaimed, Between the 1 and the 9 was an instant hit, and remains a timeless classic. The success of Between the 1 and the 9 had Patti touring quite non-stop from 1996 through 1997, and into 1998. She toured the USA supporting the Wallflowers, Chris Isaak, Midnight Oil, and Garbage, and she toured Europe supporting the Black Crowes. Patti and her band performed on Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and she appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

JEREMY TORRES

Jeremy Torres, born on the 3rd of August 1994, in Middletown, NY, just 40 minutes north of New York City, is 1 of 5 children. As a young boy Jeremy ran around the house “catching a vibe” to the music that his mother, Esther Luna, always played on the radio. At the tender age of 10 years old Jeremy lost his mother to Cancer. It was a devastating loss in his life at such a young age and it was soon later that Jeremy discovered his passion for writing as a therapeutic means of freeing his imagination. What began with poetry and short stories turned into songs. But Jeremy had desire for more. “If only I could play an instrument”, he wished… (MORE)

CHRIS BERGSON & ELLIS HOOKS

“Live albums don’t get any better than this. Bergson and Hooks are both clearly on the rise…Bergson and Hooks have become a modern-day blues-infused Sam and Dave, bringing a similar kind of gritty, rousing blues that is chill-inducing, whether vocally or via Bergson’s stinging, piercing solos (check out “Bitter Midnight”)…Bergson’s guitar lines echo two of his heroes, Hubert Sumlin (with whom he performed in his later years) and Freddie King.” – Glide Magazine

KAT WRIGHT

Kat Wright, whose voice is both sultry and dynamic, delicate yet powerful; gritty but highly emotive and nuanced, has been described as “a young Bonnie Raitt meets Amy Winehouse”. Add to that voice enough stage presence to tame lions, and the combination of feline femininity proves immediately enchanting. There’s soul flowing in and out of her rock ‘n’ roll with a serpentine seduction. Some of soul music’s sweet, grand dames belt, shout, seethe, and succumb, while Wright sings gently like a heartache’s apology. It’s funky in spots and beautiful all over. And it hurts a little … like it should.

ANDY SHAUF

Few artists are storytellers as deft and disarmingly observational as Andy Shauf. The Toronto-based, Saskatchewan-raised musician’s songs unfold like short fiction: they’re densely layered with colorful characters and a rich emotional depth. On his new album The Neon Skyline (out January 24 via ANTI-), he sets a familiar scene of inviting a friend for beers on the opening title track: “I said, ‘Come to the Skyline, I’ll be washing my sins away.’ He just laughed, said ‘I’ll be late, you know how I can be.'” The LP’s 11 interconnected tracks follow a simple plot: the narrator goes to his neighborhood dive, finds out his ex is back in town, and she eventually shows up. While its overarching narrative is riveting, the real thrill of the album comes from how Shauf finds the humanity and humor in a typical night out and the ashes of a past relationship.
