The concert is one of 11 throughout the summer in the waterfront series, scheduled from 3 to 5 p.m. Sundays at Battlefield State Park in the village. The rain site is the United Presbyterian Church, 101 S. Broad St. Next, on July 10, the series features Ioan Harea, a virtuoso violinist who performs worldwide. Mr. Harea, a faculty member at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music and a member of the Orchestra of Northern New York, will present a program of Classic Gypsy violin music with a string quintet (two violins, viola, cello and bass) made up of other Crane professors: John Lindsey, violin; Nancy Peshko, violin; Harold Levine, viola; Mathias Wexler, cello, and Harry Schenwolf, bass.

He has recorded six CDs: Ballade (violin and piano), Classic Gypsy (violin and symphony orchestra), Sentimental Strings (string quartet), Versatility (various instruments in duo with violin) and Unaccompanied (solo violin) all of which show the wide range of styles in which he performs. Unaccompanied was chosen by Richard Todd, arts critic for the Ottawa Citizen, as a 2005 Best Buy for classical recordings. Mr. Harea is the featured artist on The Virtuosi Productions Concert Series at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Mr. Harea has been acclaimed all across Canada for Classic Gypsy, a unique programming of virtuoso classical favorites, combined with his exclusive arrangements of gypsy music, tangos and jazz, be it accompanied by Orchestra, string quintet or piano.

He also gave three performances of Classic Gypsy to sold out audiences for Hill and Hollow Music in Plattsburgh. A citizen of Canada, Venezuela and Romania, Mr. Harea lives in Ottawa, where he works as a soloist, concertmaster, studio musician and teacher. In March 2000 he traveled to Romania, under the auspices of the Canadian Embassy in Bucharest. He performed the Beethoven Concerto with the Ploiesti Philharmonic, Ravel Tzigane and Sarasate Ziguenerweisen with the Craiova Philharmonic, as well as giving a recital in Bucharest, which was recorded by Romanian National Radio.

This event is made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, administered in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties by the St. Lawrence County Council on the Arts. Additional support is from businesses and organizations throughout the north country and the tradition of pass the hat for donations.

This years concert , at the Clayton Opera House, is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday
Jay Nash emerged into the national spotlight from the same Los Angeles music scene that gave rise to Sara Bareilles, Katy Perry and many other current pop luminaries. He has shared the stage with everyone from the Counting Crows and Maroon 5 to Keb Mo and Dave Mason; he has logged more than 1,000 live performances and sold almost 30,000 albums, without ever having signed a conventional record label deal. Mr. Nash has released three EPs and sixfull length albums. His latest, Diamonds and Blood, was released independently on March 8. The album debuted at No. 5 5 on the iTunes singer/songwriter album chart and has continued to gain attention at AAA radio and win over new listeners ever since. Joe Purdy is a communicator of folklore through song. He releases his albums on his own independent label, Mudtown Crier Records, and with the help of national TV placements and has been able to sell 1 million direct track downloads in the U.S. on iTunes without signing to a label. His music has been featured on the TV shows Lost, Greys Anatomy and House. His song Wash Away (Reprise) was used in a Dawn soap wildlife ad, helping to raise thousands to rescue wildlife
and aide in the Gulf spill cleanup. Currently he is touring North America in support of his new release, This American. Born and raised in California, Chris Pierce was a struggling local singer/songwriter until he met pop icon Seal at a living-room gig in 2005. After this he was invited to be the opening act on the British singers world tour. Since then, he has also opened tours and shows for Seal, B.B. King, Al Green, Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, Toots & The Maytals, Ben Harper, Macy Gray, Robert Cray, and Jamie Cullum. His debut album, 2005s Static Trampoline, was followed by a 2007 live album, Music in the Moment, released only in Japan. To help increase his public profile, Pierce started placing songs on various TV shows and films including: Crash, Phat Girlz, Brothers & Sisters, Lincoln Heights, In Plain Sight, Army Wives, What About Brian and HBOs Black History campaign. He also kept up with his steady live work and also had a growing following on the In-
ternet and on adult album alternative radio stations. A second studio album, Walking on the Earth, was released in the spring of 2008 and was picked by KCRWs Nic Harcourt as one of the top 10 albums of the year. Pierce followed up with a second live album in 2009 titled Chris Pierce Live at the Hotel Caf. His new studio album is being released this summer. Althea Jean is a seven-piece string band whose motto is, If it isnt fun, dont do it. The band hails from all corners of the north country, and their genre is best described as Old-Time/World music. Chris Seefried began receiving national attention when Quincy Jones signed his band from New York City, Gods Child, to Warner Brothers Records. Their first record, Everybody, was written and produced by Seefried and his bandmate Gary DeRosa. Gods Childs highest honor came when their single Everybodys One appeared on two Billboard charts at the same time. Everybodys One peaked at No. 18 on the Mainstream Rock chart and No. 25 on the Modern Rock chart. Seefried then moved on to produce and co-write for Fitz and The Tantrums. He produced and cowrote for their EP, Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1 and again for their full-length debut, Pickin Up The Pieces. On Jan. 12, Fitz & the Tantrums performed songs cowritten by Seefried, MoneyGrabber and Dont Gotta Work It Out, on ABCs Jimmy Kimmel Live.
MoneyGrabber went on to be performed on both TBS Conan O Brien and NBCs The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In mid-March, a Seefried-cowritten song,, News 4 U, was chosen for the promo of Desperate Housewives seventh season. Michael Cuestas latest movie, Roadie, including a score by Seefried, premiered at The Tribeca Film Festival in April. The Milk Carton Kids, together one year, released their first album, Retrospect, on March 15, with selections from the past year of live performances. A collection of songs from each of their solo careers, written separately but reinterpreted and performed as the duo, Retrospect was released under the name Kenneth Pattengale & Joey Ryan. The first official release of The Milk Carton Kids, Prologue, is comprised of original songs for this project. It is slated for release later this year on their own Milk Carton Records. Garrison Starr started out in the music business at age 15 and was signed to Geffen Records at age 21. She has since been signed to two other labels and has released six full-length albums, and numerous EPs. Along the way, Starr has been the tour opener for Melissa Etheridge, co-produced music for Margaret Chos record, has had music on The Hills, and started the North Labrea All Star Conquistadors with Jay Nash. Her hit song Superhero aired on ABCs coverage of the Womens World Cup Soccer Tournament.

tracks. Her third CD, Pass It On, and has nine originals, plus four covers. As collections, these albums run the gamut of styles and topics, from the crazy antics of Fish On! through the humor of With One Swell Foop to the poignant twist in Mamas Kisses. Her fourth and fifth CDs are compilations. Scrapbook is a collection of Ms. Hoppers favorite pieces from the first three CDs along with four new songs. The Alaska Collection is just what the name implies all of Ms. Hoppers rrecordings about Alaska gathered for the first time on one CD. In the spring of 11995, she was commissioned to compose, record and perform Arctic Fanfare, the musical theme for the 1996 Arctic Winter Games. This piece received extensive air-
play and news coverage in connection with the games. As past vice-president of the Anchorage Folk Festival, and coordinator of Folk Week In The Schools (a Folk Festival sponsored event), she has been very active in supporting other musicians, as well. She sponsors house concerts and songwriting seminars in her living room regularly, and hosts a songwriters showcase every January. She travels around the state, performing at private functions, festivals, coffeehouses and concerts. At 7 p.m. July 10, Jthe Norwood concert series presents Frank Vignola, a guitarist, composer and improviser who plays proficiently in every genre, from jazz to bluegrass, and works with a wide array of other performers.
His work includes Donald Fagen recordings, a jam with David Grisman, performing alongside Les Paul and leading his own groups throughout the years. Born in Long Island, Mr. Vignola was raised in the New York City area. He started playing the guitar at the age of 5 and grew up admiring a variety of guitarists. Mr. Vignola never listened to jazz exclusively; he was also a major fan of rock, R&B and pop. The guitarists that he admires range from Django and George Barnes to rock icons such as Frank Zappa and Eddie Van Halen. As a young adult, Mr. Vignola studied at the Cultural Arts Center of Long Island and went on to perfrom in a large number of sideman gigs during the 1980s, including recording and touring with the likes of Madonna, Leon Redbone and Ringo Starr. His famed Hot Club of France tribute was hailed in the New York Times as one of the top 10 acts of 1988 and forged the way for the many Django Hot Club groups that followed. Mr. Vignola was 27 when, in 1993, he signed with Concord Jazz and recorded his first Concord session as a leader, Appel Direct. Many more Concord releases followed in the 1990s as well as three releases for the Telarc label as coleader of the group Travelin Light. The early 2000s found Mr. Vignola recording for Acoustic Disc and Hyena Records as well as making featured appearances on Atlantic, Sony and Warner Brothers Records with the likes of Donald Fagen, Queen Latifah, Mark OConnor and Wynton Marsalis. Mr. Vignola has also recorded several DVDs for Mel Bay Records. Gypsy Jam features Jimmy Rosenberg and Favorite Solos features Mr. Vignola with one of his guitar heroes, Bucky Pizzarelli. He has written 18 guitar instruction books for Mel Bay Publications and has recorded several CD-ROM educational products for Truefire.com. He has performed hundreds of clinics and master classes at major universities and colleges throughout the country including Juilliard and Boston University. Frank Vignola will be joined in Norwood by guitarist Vinny Raniolo and bassist Gary Mazzaroppi.
The Peters and Stevens families donated boats and nautical memorabilia beginning in 1996 when the society acquired the former Henderson Universalist Church for a museum. The society has eight wooden boats made in Henderson between the 1880s to 1940. The Historical Association of South Jefferson has promised the loan of four additional Henderson-made boats from its collection.
