The Scene: February 2017

By Jane Harrison

Could someone turn off the ice machine? I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough of that stuff. It is so stunning, that glittering coat on everything in sight…if only it weren’t so treacher­ous!

Stay indoors and tune in on Saturday, February 4 for Kevin McDaniel as he takes over the mike on Alice Page’s FOLK PLUS on WJFF radio from 12 PM – 1 PM, which is one controversial hour! Then stay tuned for Kevin’s own show HOME GROWN, where he will be featuring the young original artist AY­ANNA MARTINE.

The Open Mic at the High Falls Café, run by the tal­ented musician singer, song­writer, Jeff Entin, is an excel­lent venue for our Sullivan County musicians to spread beyond. Pack up your gear and take the trip every 2nd Thursday of the month.

If Jazz is your thing, check out the duo of Al Defino and Larry Ravdin at Sorrella in Kauneonga Lake. Great food and music provided by two masters. Make sure you put this great location on your winter’s weekend list.

Another great Saturday evening out is the Pick­led Owl. I have never been disappointed by the groups booked there, which is saying a lot. And the food is amaz­ing!

All scheduled are “weather permitting”
