Double-B & the New Orleans Drive-by Band
The Double B sound is equal parts jazz, historic New Orleans Funk, Second Line, R&B and Soul with an immersive Gospel tone. A gumbo of dance music, audience participation and soulful vocals. An instant party.
Leslie Barkman - Singer/Songwriter
“Leslie writes about a lifetime of experiences, sings her heart out, and keeps creative time on her instrument. If you’ve ever been in love, wish you were, or have a little philosopher in you, you will find a friend in Leslie.” - putnamplace.com

Hailing from the humble streets of Chicago, in a family of musicians, guitarist Luke Johnson learned guitar when he was four and soon got into blues, jazz, rock and Bossa Nova. He has performed throughout the U.S. and around the world including Europe, Japan and Brasil. For Luke, playing jazz and Bossa Nova is a celebration of life which is fun to share.
Wil Greenstreet - Alto Saxophone Soloist
“Wil Greenstreet played guitar in the Australian band - Doug Parkinson In Focus and composed the soundtrack score for the 1974 cult classic biker movie “Stone” (Directed by Sandy Harbutt) under the name Billy Green, before traveling to the states. Stateside, he wrote a music study book, called Fourth Obsession: and has released numerous CD's singles and projects. Wil has played solo saxophone at the top of the Empire State Building for over a decade.” - player.fm
Geri Lougherity - Ukulele
Long before Ukulele playing became the latest rage, Geri Loughery (lock-r-ee), was singing & playing ukulele in all the venues in & around Millbrook. A resident since 2012, she joyfully presents an eclectic mix of cover tunes & original songs with soulful optimism that leaves her audiences wanting more.
Jon Paul - “DJ - Ethical Drift
“Ethical Drift is the pseudonym of Producer, Bassist, and DJ Jonathan Paul. After performing on stages worldwide with veteran New York City indie rock bands (Basic Vacation, The Nectars, Rectanglez, etc.), Ethical Drift emerges as a seasoned, futuristic house music project. With a focus on turntables during live performance, he weaves a blend of Disco, Funk, Indie Rock, and Electronic Noise into Future Gunk, a style that is uniquely New York. Fresh off the release of his first mixtape on Coraspect Record & Germany’s Das Record Club, this slice of nightlife is something you won’t want to miss.” - heavencanwaitnyc.com
Patrick Stokes Quartet
Patrick Stokes is a Hudson Valley based piano player and composer. “With a passion for pushing the musical envelope, pianist Patrick Stokes can’t help but compose and perform.” - www.bandsintown.com
