Look Who's Coming Back To Town! Spottiswoode & His Enemies
"Nothing short of transportive." (Paste Magazine) Mr. Spottiswoode's proudest accomplishment is the more than decade-long personality cult known as Spottiswoode & His Enemies. Since their January 1998 New York debut at the Mercury Lounge, Spottiswoode has somehow been able to hold together seven of New York's finest musicians, put out a string of acclaimed records, perform residencies at New York's best clubs, play Lincoln Center, tour the country, cross the ocean...all with a band that doesn't even like him.
The band includes John Young (bass), Candace DeBartolo (sax/flute/vocals), Kevin Cordt (trumpet/violin/vocals), Riley McMahon (guitar/mandolin/glockenspiel), Tony Lauria (accordion/piano/organ), and Konrad Meissner (drums). It isn't easy to describe the music they play. Spottiswoode composes songs of all genres, and his band of mulit-instrumentalists is ready and willing to switch instruments and gears in the blink of an eye. A single show may include a delicate folk ballad, a balls-out rocker, a hilarious cabaret ditty, and a neo-gospel lament. But Spottiswoode cringes at the word "eclectic". "We are expressionists!" he pleads.
Dan Reed of WXPN Radio put it this way: "Spottiswoode and His Enemies do somehting that few bands can do: evoke real emotions, sometimes several different ones in a single song. Spottiswoode himself is both funny and scary at the same time, and there is undeniably a major talent lurking behind the songs and the live shows. Lots of unexpected twists and turns, and lotsa soul."
Come experience the musical expressions of Spottiswoode & His Enemies and be transported musically.

Is based in Hudson, NY.Headed by Janette Camardella, a singer and songwriter from Springfield, MA, The Whiskey Council is a fresh, passionate, and adventurous band.They perform songs that are a genre-bending blend of bluegrass-infused, alternate country while riding the rails of string-heavy, thigh-slapping, foot stomping, modern mountain music.
The band's influences include Alison Krauss and Union Station, Dolly Parton, Crooked Still, Melissa Etheridge, Lyle Lovett, and Old Crow Medicine Show just to name a few.
Manu Chao is evoked on their song "Los Pollos De Amor" and gives it a rocking country feel that will make you want to get on your feet and dance. Every performance is a rousing blast.
