UPDATE: "Under the Moon in Callicoon" Concert Series 2011

The park will be alive with the sound of music, all sorts of music, come July, in our second annual "Under the Moon" concert series. CCPA's mission of a diverse slate for the season has been accomplished with the addition of a night of rock, featuring not one but two local young bands with bright futures. MazMyth is a five piece progressive fusion band from Livingston Manor with a fast spreading fan base and an impressive list of credits. They will rock the park on July 16, along with opener AventeGorz, self-described on My Space as "Three people uniting into a sound of mass confusion and energy for a matter of moments." The three, from Cochecton, play alternative/psychedelic rock.

Opening the series on July 8, as promised, will be the always well-received Basket Landing, eclectic folk musicians, singers and dancers from Hankins.

Our third concert will bring Chacho Ramirez's Universa Trio, following the Dr. Mambo. Chacho is a musical director, drummer, and composer who performs in the New York metropolitan area, making beautiful music based on West African and Latin rhythms, using standard jazz forms. On July 23, we will have him and his friends all to ourselves!

Closing the season as only he can, Barbecue Bob will return with the Spareribs on July 30 for his annual smokin' R&B dance party in the park. We love being a regular gig on Bob's busy schedule of performances all over the Northeast! (He makes it south, too, keeping the barbecue real.) Opening for Bob once again will be our own Janet Burgan, singer, songwriter, concert producer, and really cool MC.

All shows take place at 8 p.m. in Callicoon Creek Park, off Audley Dorrer Drive, in Callicoon, NY. The suggested donation at the door is $12, children under 12 will be admitted free.

The July 16, 23 and 30 concerts are partially funded by a 2011 Decentralization grant, allocated by the New York State Council on the Arts and administered locally by Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, Narrowsburg, NY.
