Simon’s Dream: Music & Members of Penguin Café Orchestra is on our this evening, Friday, July 17! Simon’s Dream was the original inspiration for the Penguin Café Orchestra (PCO), a band led by English guitarist and composer Simon Jeffes. The group performed and recorded for 24 years until Jeffes died of an inoperable brain tumour in 1997. Since then several original members of the band have continued to play the music under the banner of ‘The Orchestra That Fell To Earth’ in Europe, and ‘Simon’s Dream’ in the United States.

Please note: Due to the popularity of our Thursday Open Mic Night, we've made some adjustments to the sign-up process. The previous system resulted in us having to turn people away due to all slots being quickly filled. In an effort to be fair and accommodating to everyone, we have implemented the following guidelines:
– in person sign up between 4-6 p.m. on Thursday;
– online sign up between 12-3 p.m. on Thursday; please email [email protected] – we’re no longer taking calls. If you sign up and don’t attend or don’t cancel before 5 p.m., you’ll no longer be eligible to sign up online;
– The first 18 sign ups go into our lottery and are allotted 2 songs per person. Each additional sign up we limit to 1 song. If it’s a slow night and time allows, we could increase it to 3 songs per person.
– All performers MUST be present at 6:30 p.m., when we will draw the lottery for order of performance slots.
Steve Kirkman is our host this week!
Our Open Mic Night was voted Best of Hudson Valley. For more than 25 years, the Towne Crier’s legendary Open Mic Nights have drawn top talent from throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond, Known as a true “listening room,” it provides artists with a respectful performance space, and live music fans with the best entertainment value around.
There is a $10 minimum for everyone in attendance – performers and audience members – which can be applied to food and beverage purchases.
Reservations suggested; call 845-855-1300 to book your table.

Another great music of weekend concludes on a high note tonight - Sunday, July 12 - with the Dan Brother Trio on our starting at 6:30pm! Since his teens, Dan Brother has been performing in venerable local blues clubs, so it’s no surprise that he picked up a little of everything along the way – from protest era psychedelia to straight-up blues; classic era soul to southern rock and Texas twang. Salons are complimentary for our dinner guests. Reservations suggested; please call (845) 855-1300 to book your table.
