EVERY SUNDAY
JAZZ BRUNCH WORKSHOP NOON
'TIL 4PM
Our Sunday Jazz Brunch Workshop is a magical, musical phenomenon
that everyone should experience. The host trio of Burgess,
Stetz, and James (featuring the notable talents of pianist &
vocalist Greg Burgess, bassist Bill Stetz, and drummer Tom James) welcomes musicians of all
kinds to join in the musical adventure. Live and inspirational,
you'll watch, listen and smile as songs take shape and evolve in
an unrehearsed performance ... a real workshop to hone skills
and express musical vision. Many guest musicians & vocalists are
always on-hand to "sit in" as soloists or to be called upon to
create a whole new trio, quartet or larger ensemble, too. It's
a ritual that you'll want to be part of every Sunday! Because of
the popularity of our Sunday Brunch (served from 9AM-2PM), reservations are strongly
encouraged. |

Nate Myers & The Aces 9PM-MID
Nate Myers & The Aces have been
established in Central PA for nearly 15 years. Lead by vocalist
Nate Myers and his harmonica, the band creates a loose, casual
atmosphere in which everyone can relax and have a good time!
Whether the audience prefers to sit back and listen or get up

Myers is an excellent musician, songwriter, and performer – the
consummate entertainer who keeps the audience’s attention
throughout the entire performance. The wide variety of styles,
energy, and sincerity in his music allows him to fit into nearly
any musical genre. On a typical evening, audiences can hear
influences from many forms of American music – blues, funk, hip
hop, rockabilly, country and improvisation. Nate Myers & the
Aces take all these styles they love and weave them into a
tapestry of their own. |

The Susquehanna Jamcrackers 7-10PM
The Susquehanna JamCrackers are an acoustic string band, named
after the famous lumberjacks of Williamsport’s Lumbering Era,
who would walk out across the Susquehanna River’s floating logs,
when they had to bust up a logjam by dropping in a lit stick of
dynamite. With our angel-song fiddle, mandolin wind, banjo rain,
driving acoustic bass, and finger-pickin’-good guitar, you might
say we’re equal parts Americana, Folk, Bluegrass, and Country
Gospel. We play River songs, Train songs, Love songs, Work
songs, Earth songs, Heaven’s songs. We play some down and
bluesy, some crisp and breezy, some high and lonesome; we play
them all with sweet string tones and rich layered harmonies. The
Susquehanna JamCrackers’ music is like the water splashing on a
stone; like good Norwegian wood; like the Dutchman’s tea with
whiskey; like rollin’ in your sweet baby’s arms; like a
headlight on a northbound train; like toasting smores around a
campfire: acoustically delicious, a special treat in every bite. |

Keith Kenny 9PM-MID
If the audience at a Keith
Kenny show were to close their eyes for the performance they
would swear that there was a full band on stage. The audience,
however, is too busy dancing to the one-man acts layered guitar
riffs, foot stomping percussion, and emotionally charged lyrics
to even think about looking away. The New Jersey native is able
to emulate the sound of a full rock band with his percussive
fingerstyle approach to the acoustic guitar and an array of
effects pedals. Kenny even customized a vintage red suitcase to
use as a kick drum which has appeared with him on stage for
nearly a decade of live performances. His debut appearances at
The Stone Pony in Asbury Park paved the way for Kenny’s
developing one-man band show and led him into the national
touring circuit and beyond. During his most recent “Big Red
Suitcase Tour” Kenny performed in over 50 U.S. cities from coast
to coast and was invited to headline a series of benefit
concerts in SE Asia. In recent years he has shared the stage
with the likes of Keller Williams, Leon Russell, John Hammond
Jr., New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Zen Tricksters and John
Kadlecik (Further & Dark Star Orchestra). On his latest studio
release “And the Light Came Blaring In…” Kenny captures the
essence of his live solo show, with all the guitars, vocals, and
foot stomping performed simultaneously. While he has used a band
for several previous releases, on this record Kenny relies more
on his lone power of compositional grit than his usual fret
board grandeur. With an influential voice that lies somewhere
between Neil Young and Ben Bridwell, Kenny delivers clear and
concise visions of dynamic musical deliverance. Combining a deep
dive into tone, originality and believability, he ushers the
listener into his brand new living room of roots riddled rock
and roll. Never going for the standard attack, he flies far from
the 12-bar blues, three-chord rock and Americana stereotype to
land some place between a rock and a new place. The album
illustrates a highly skilled writer who utilizes the same
down-home approach in his music as he does with his day-to-day
interactions with others. It’s a combination that will continue
to see Kenny reach exciting new levels as he helps future fans
“see the light” of his musical message. |

Vinegar Creek Constituency 8-11PM
American songs are full of deranged old ghosts howling at the
moon. Vinegar Creek Constituency, an eclectic, incendiary string
band out of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, channels these
venerable old ghosts of the American folk tradition through
imaginative, emotive original songs delivered with rock n roll
intensity. Full of shouting, floorboard-stomping soul, their
live performances are uplifting, high-energy events with fans
dancing in the aisles and clapping, stomping, and singing along.
Like their folksong forerunners that took root around campfires
and on back porches across America, the songs call out from the
crossroads of light and darkness. They are dreams of Heaven
alongside visions of Hell; songs in praise of love alongside
tales of murder and the madness of lovers betrayed; songs that
ride the rails, wander the countryside, rise from the grave, and
cackle in the face of impending doom. The musicians of Vinegar
Creek Constituency come from diverse musical backgrounds that
range from formal Classical performance to experimental garage
Rock to traditional Old Time Appalachian string band music to
Gypsy Jazz. Consequently, the band’s sound encompasses elements
of many styles, including super-charged bluegrass, early Sun
Records-era rock'n'roll, swing, vaudeville, outlaw country, and
ragtime. |
