The Turn 11/17/08
The Turn Live in the Lobby11/17/08
The Turn is a rock band from Rockville Centre, NY
whose lyrical and melodic music is influenced by artists such as The
Beatles, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and
Jeff Buckley. They combine soulful blues-driven guitar with
hard-hitting drums and melodies; piano and organ add a taste of
something Motown. The band has been playing and performing together
since August 2007 and in February 2008 released their debut EP, "LONG
STORY SHORT."
The Turn was founded by Brian Ripps, the band’s
lead vocalist and lead guitarist, and Pat McDermott, who sings
background vocals and plays guitars and keyboards. Brian and Pat
collaborate on writing the band’s original material.
Dave Dircks Live in the Lobby
Dave Dircks Live in the Lobby of the Patchogue Theater 11-6-08
Dave Dircks began his road to music at an early age. As a teenager growing up on Long Island, he was drawn to music and art -- listening to Neil Young, Cat Stevens, and James Taylor as he spent endless evening hours painting and playing guitar. By his twenties, Dave had immersed himself in art, graduating from School of Visual Arts in New York City with several gallery shows in Manhattan, and landing a steady gig as a commercial illustrator. Once he'd mastered the visual arts and built a successful design and advertising firm, Dave felt the irresistible pull of music anew. He began to write again and perform on Long Island, eventually starting his own open mic and podcast, Acoustic Long Island.Acoustic Long Island gave Dave not only a venue to hone his songwriting and performing skills, but also new friends in the talented musicians who performed each week at the show. Such a fertile music environment inspired Dave to take his 25 years of songwriting experience and create This Road, his first full length CD. For more information, go to www.davedircks.com
About Live in the Lobby
Called "A felicitous space for music listening" by the New York Times (6/17/07), Live in the Lobby is a series of concerts for small audiences held in the lobby of the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA). The series, which began in the winter of 2005, has been called "one of Long Island's premier small venues for independent singers and songwriters" (L.I. Advance 8/23/07) because they feature original music from Long Island area artists and do not book "tribute" or "cover" bands. PTPA Board member Christopher Capobianco and his fellow volunteers convert the beautiful art deco lobby into a small concert hall with seating for 50 and standing room for another 50, creating an intimate setting with excellent acoustics. "Live in the Lobby" is a team effort of volunteers who believe in having a place for original music and give up a lot of time to make it happen. The performers appreciate it too, and although it's not a "big money" gig, the series is booked for months in advance because the word is out that this is one very special place to play. Advance tickets at the PTPA box office or by phone at 631.207.1313. Visit Liveinthelobby.com or myspace.com/liveinthelobbyatPTPA for the complete schedule and links to the performers.
"The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing
Arts supports the scene with its Live in the Lobby series the first
Thursday of the month" -Newsday,11/8/07.

Terrance Martin University Cafe Part 1
Terrance Martin University Cafe 11/2/08
Terence Martin, one of acoustic music’s top ranked singer-songwriters, showcases a new collection of brilliant songs from Even Trade, his recent CD, as well as songs from Martin’s four previous releases which have made him a favorite of University Café audiences. His powerful songs flow with hauntingly poetic images and elements of folk, blues, and country, the work of an extraordinarily skillful writer whose craftsmanship is first-rate.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Martin moved East in 1997 to become part of the flourishing NY acoustic music scene. His musical background includes performing as a double bassist in the Burbank Symphony and in several touring rock bands. Also a published poet, his poetry is included in the anthology, “Four Valley Poets.”
Performances at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and the Boston Folk Festival, among others, have won him a passionate following. Multi-instrumentalist Dan Bonis and bass player Gordon Roehrer accompany Martin in this Café performance from November 2, 2008. (www.martinsongs.com)

Phil Minissale University Cafe 10/5/08
Phil Minissale University Cafe 10/5/08
Influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Toby Walker, John Hammond, and
Chris Smither, Phil is on a crusade to introduce the Blues to younger
audiences. "Cats my age know nothing about roots music, and that's a
shame."
Although Phil is Long Island born, he grew up in the Brandywine
Valley of Eastern Pennsylvania. In September 2006, Phil returned to the
area and now lives in Stony Brook, New York. "It's nice to be back
around my extended family. It's like coming home to my own roots."
In just a few short months, Phil has become a crowd favorite at
folk societies, festivals and coffee houses throughout the Mid-Atlantic
and Northeast states. His fingerstyle guitar playing and instincts for
finding new melodies are far beyond his years.
Recent gigs include: Huntington Folk Festival, Riverhead Blues
Festival, Budgiedome and Acoustic Live @FRFF, Eclectic Cafe, University
Cafe, Cornelia Street Cafe (Soul of the Blues Series), Grounds and
Sounds Cafe, The Hard Luck Cafe, Cedar Beach Blues Festival, and Steel
City Cafe.
