Professor Louie and the Crowmatix

"Americana at its best "
-- The Village Voice

The Woodstock quintet Professor Louie and the Crowmatix originally formed to serve as the studio backing band for CD's by Rick Danko, Garth Hudson & Levon Helm, and The Band. Their latest CD, Whispering Pines, received no fewer than five Grammy nominations in 2010. Enjoy their rompin stompin' roots rock, sweet ballads and roadhouse blues led by Professor Louie on keyboards and accordion, joined by Miss Marie on vocals, percussion & piano, Gary Burke (Bob Dylan, Joe Jackson) on drums, Frank Campbell (Levon Helm, Asleep at The Wheel) on bass, and Josh Colow (Jesse Winchester, Livingston Taylor) on guitar.

The Ronstadt Generations

"The music of the Ronstadt Generations family band exemplifies splendidly the inextricable
relationships of diverse ethnic folk forms that comprise the beautiful tapestry of American folk music."
-- Stephanie P. Ledgin, author of Discovering Folk Music

Ronstadt Generations represents the multi-cultural roots America was founded upon. Dating back five generations in North America, Michael J. Ronstadt, (younger brother of Linda Ronstadt), continues the family tradition with his two sons, Michael G. and Petie. Each has appeared around the world in performance and on recordings with such diverse artists as Linda Ronstadt, Los Lobos, the Dixie Hummingbirds, Muriel Anderson, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and countless others.

These three voices -- all multi-instrumentalists and solo artists in their own right -- bring to life a repertoire that reaches back to the end of the 19th century while continually looking ahead into the 21st, with a rich innovation of original material alongside traditional Southwestern and Mexican songs.

Proceeds from this concert will be donated to Hurricane Irene disaster relief in our surrounding communities. The Catskill Mountain Foundation is pleased to support these concerts jointly with Friends of the Orpheum (FOTO) to help Hurricane Irene recovery efforts in our community.
