Powerhouse blues guitarist and singer Larry McCray returns to Central New York. Since emerging on the scene in 1990, McCray has released several albums, including his latest, 2022’s “Blues Without You.” Over the past three decades of nonstop touring and recording, McCray also has played and shared the stage with such blues and rock greats as BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert King, John Mayall, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Keb Mo, Jonny Lang, Joe Walsh, Levon Helm, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Albert Collins, and Joe Bonamassa. “No stranger to the deep and endless world of the jam band universe either, Larry is beloved by and has performed with many of the greats in that world, including touring with The Allman Brothers Band, Warren Haynes, Gov’t Mule, Phil Lesh, Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, and countless others.”
“Now, with the release of his new album ‘Blues Without You’ (March 25, 2022), Larry McCray is poised to re-emerge as one our great American roots and blues performers. The new album is a masterful, genre busting 12-track release that touches on country, jazz, gospel…and of course the blues. Recorded on famed guitarist Bonamassa’s Keeping the Blues Alive label with producer Josh Smith, the breadth of McCray’s songwriting talents are on full display, found on tracks such as the classic blues shuffle Arkansas, the retro soul of ‘Breaking News’ and the poignant ballad ‘Down To The Bottom’ (featuring Warren Haynes).”

Fiery Fingers
Acclaimed guitarist Preston Reed comes to Trumansburg this weekend. “To watch Reed perform is to witness the bending of reality. The New York master tweaks the nose of musical convention, pokes the eye of received wisdom and burns the rulebook of the past. Using an evolution of the two-handed acoustic technique he pioneered in 1987, he fuses chord-based grooves, soaring melodic runs and polyrhythmic percussion that integrates the breathtaking potential of the guitar body. The power and depth of his original compositions are as unique as the man’s execution, from his roots in blues, rock, funk and jazz to explorations in Middle Eastern and neo-classical styles, Reed's music embraces familiar sounds in a fresh and original way. Preston Reed doesn’t need a band. He is the band.”

Roots Fire
The Canaan Institute will host a house concert with the duo of Bruce Molsky and Reed Stutz. The “Grammy-nominated, described as ‘an absolute master’ (No Depression), Molsky transports audiences to another time and place, with his authentic and personal interpretations of rarities from the Southern Appalachian songbook and other musical traditions from around the globe. Best known for his work on the fiddle, Bruce’s banjo, guitar and his distinctive, powerful vocals also resonate with listeners. His combination of technical virtuosity and relaxed conversational wit makes a concert hall feel like an intimate front porch gathering.”
“Reed Stutz brings a powerful rhythmic sensibility and evocative, soulful energy to string band music. Adept as a multi-instrumentalist and singer (mandolin, guitar, banjo), he is fueled by a love for old time and early bluegrass, and his inclination to dig into their roots has fed a distinctive sound with colorful blending of tradition and personality. Close study of Bill Monroe’s mandolin style serves as one anchor to Reed's sound, off which he has delicately constructed a hard-driving, fiery edge woven into tender expressiveness. Regardless the instrument, these qualities come through in his music.”

Celebrating Silents
Cornell Cinema is celebrating Silent Movie Month in Ithaca with three special silent film events with live musical accompaniment during the month of October.
The first takes place on Sunday, with a screen of the 1922 film “The Toll of the Sea.” In this tragic tale of Western exploitation, an American man in China falls in love with and marries a young Asian woman named Lotus Flower (Anna May Wong). After he leaves her to return to the United States, Lotus Flower gives birth to a son, whom she dotingly raises on her own. When the man later returns to China with his new American wife Elsie, he meets his mixed-race son and his understanding white wife urges adoption. In a destructive act of self-sacrifice, Lotus Flower allows her son to return to America with his father.”
Cloud Chamber Orchestra – Robby Aceto, Peter Dodge, and Chris White – will perform an original, experimental score along with the film

The Beacon on Aurora Concert Series presents Canadian singer-songwriter Scott Cook, who will be joined by bassist-banjoist-singer Pamela Mae.

He’s made his living as a troubadour ever since, touring almost incessantly across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere, averaging 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, and releasing seven albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way. His latest collection Tangle of Souls comes packaged in a cloth-bound, 240-page hardcover book of road stories and ruminations. The album spent two weeks at #1 on Alberta's province-wide community radio network CKUA, and earned Scott his third Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, for English Songwriter of the Year. Its second single "Say Can You See" was the second most-played song of 2020 on Folk Alliance International's folk radio charts, and took top honours for the folk category in both the 2020 UK Songwriting Competition and the 2020 Great American Song Contest.
