Chris Riffle & Yana King

Wednesday May 27th

Singer-Songwriters Chris Riffle w/vsg Yana King featuring band members Blake, Evan & Wyatt

Chris Riffle’s brand of heartfelt folk is a product—and a tale—of two coasts. There’s no mistaking the pastoral, spacious sound of his roots—the picturesque coastal towns of Washington state, where while still in college Riffle began making waves on local radio stations, and landed support gigs for such indie mainstays as Death Cab for Cutie. And yet it’s the other side of the country, on New York’s Lower East Side, where  Chris has found a home with residencies at venues like the venerable Living Room and Rockwood Music Hall. Chris' albums have been in rotation  at over 150 radio stations & featured on Sirius XM.

Local singer-songwriter Yana King has been captivating audiences on stage for  the past eight years through her work in regional theater. Performing with the Orpheus Theatre in Oneonta and Tri-Town Theatre in Sidney, she has taken on memorable roles such as Moana in Moana Jr., Éponine in Les Misérables, and Mimi in Rent. Yana has also become a regular performer at the Gatehouse in Morris steadily building a devoted  local following and earning growing acclaim for her powerful voice and heartfelt performances.

Caviar & Grits

Saturday June 13th

Caviar & Grits serves up a bold blend of original soul and funk that’s equal parts silky smooth and gritty groove. Based in Binghamton, NY, this five-piece powerhouse brings smoky vocals, tight rhythms, and infectious energy to every stage they hit. Fronted by the magnetic Michaela Clark (lead vocals, guitar, and pen behind the  punchy lyrics), the group is rounded out by a crew of musical heavy-hitters: Tyson Alston on keys, Joe Kollar on guitar, Jim Lomonaco holding it down on bass, and Moses Valle driving the beat on drums. Together, they channel the raw emotional depth of Amy Winehouse, the genre-hopping soul of Lake Street Dive, and the joyful explosiveness of Sammy Rae & The Friends—but with a flavor all their own.

Their 2024 EP, The C&G Spot, is streaming everywhere now and hits with the swagger, soul, and sass you didn’t know you needed. From dancefloor-ready bangers to slow-burn soul, Caviar & Grits is here to make you move, feel, and come back hungry for more. Catch them live, and you’ll see: this band doesn’t just play music—they throw a party.

08:00 PM - 10:30 PM

Papa Muse

Saturday June 20th

Described as "Indie World," Papa Muse blends rock and world music with catchy hooks and funky dance-able grooves. Papa Muse has been compared to the Talking Heads, Rusted Root, Paul Simon, Devo and Rush. It's danceable and intelligent music.

The  songs are polished and often move in different directions to make them unpredictable and fresh. The lyrics are meaningful and often present an  altruistic vision for humanity, deep yet relatable and easy to digest.

The  live show is dynamic and interactive, so while the message behind the music can be deep and introspective, the live show is light, whimsical and fun. "I want to inspire a sense of community empowerment and affect positive change, but without sounding preachy, so I try to keep my live show light and fun while singing about what matters most to me."

Killdeer Trio

Wednesday June 24th

“The easiest word to describe Killdeer is jazz, but that only tells part of the story. There are also elements of fusion, jam band music and indie rock." - Colin Roberts

Inspired by their roots in Upstate NY, Killdeer Trio answers the constant invitation to explore the surrounding unknown. The band draws from their  diverse musical experiences in experimental and mainstream music to create a sound that challenges expectations of genre and style. The  trio has opened for Joel Frahm, and collaborated with grammy-nominated violinist Sara Caswell. Individually the members have performed with a wide variety of artists: from jazz legends Stacy Dillard and Ray Vega to  rock bands Palehound and Dazzling Killmen and multidisciplinary improvisation group Duo Extempore.

Underground  is the culmination of years spent honing their collective approach into  a distinct sound that is cohesive, yet sonically mercurial. The music ranges from deep grooves, singable melodies, and ambient explorations that are engaging to all contemporary music listeners. https://www.instagram.com/killdeer.trio/http://killdeertrio.com/https://www.youtube.com/@KilldeerTrio

The Ironic Hipsters

Saturday June 27th

Cast your mind back to a time before Facebook, before iPhones, and after Friendster. Neckbeards and skinny jeans walked the streets. Blogs ruled the internet. Millennials, fresh from their triumph over the Y2K virus, began to craft rudimentary instruments, irony, trucker hats, and craft beer.

The Ironic Hipsters will transport you to a utopian time before pandemics or  any problems of any kind at all when you could just do anything anywhere and nobody cared as long as you were listening to cool music.

Take Me Out where Heads Will Roll on the floor and it feels like the Last Night of our lives, because of All These Things I’ve Done. A Seven Nation Army couldn’t hold us back.
