Summer 2010

 

Hi Gang,

 

Lots of great things happening this summer! There will be live appearances (see below) performing solo, as well as with other musicians, including a full schedule with my band, “Back To The Garden 1969.” If you haven't yet seen this band, which is a tribute to the music of the Woodstock Era, you really must make the scene. We have added new songs, new surprises to the show for this summer's gigs. Come out to see us at our live outdoor concert appearances, which are free to the public. Also, don't forget to come and support us as we return once again to our regular venues, The Turning Point and The Towne Crier, both of which are local bastions of great music, great food, and great people.

 

I am currently preparing to begin recording my next CD. As well as the new songs listed   in the previous news page, I am finishing writing several others including “Kings Of The Hill,” a tribute to musicians and bands everywhere, especially those that got their start somewhere back in the early 70's in Yonkers, NY.

 

I will be updating this schedule as more gigs come in. Please join our mailing list for regular email updates.

2009 was a very productive year for me.

 

I recently completed my Christmas cd “The Greatest Gift,” and performed the title track at Trinity Church's “A Westchester Christmas” concert. Check out the music page on this website for more information about “The Greatest Gift.” The CD is now available locally here in Rye and online at www.cdbaby.com

 

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Music Festival, I formed “back to the garden 1969,” a Woodstock tribute band. We celebrated the anniversary in August at a great outdoor gig on Echo Island in Long Island Sound off of New Rochelle, NY. We have also performed to sold out houses of extremely enthusiastic crowds at The Towne Crier Cafe in Pawling, NY, and The Turning Point in Piermont, NY, two of the areas premier music showcase venues. Other gigs included the Fall Harvest Festival at Yonkers Raceway and also several local country clubs and music venues that had Woodstock anniversary celebrations.

Due to the tremendous reception we have received (and also because we love the music) we will be continuing our performances into the new year.

My third goal this year was to establish myself as a a performing singer/songwriter. I gave my debut performance at a gig with my friends Chris Brown, and Pete and Maura Kennedy. Included in the set were several unreleased new songs, including “Blue Angel,” “Wanderer,” “Solitary Dreamer,” “All Of The Years,” and “Zion,” as well as some of the material from my first CD “Into Light.” Sometime in the spring I will begin recording my next release, which will include all these new songs plus several others. Stay tuned.

 

Thanks to all of you who have shown such great support. It has been a blessing.

 We can't do it without you, the fans!

 

 

 
PEACE,
GARY
