Tannersville was formed at the foot of Hunter Mountain during the same time that Bob Dylan, The Band, and Van Morrison called the Catskills their home. Tannersville moved up to the mountain from Westchester, NY, in the early 1970's to an eight-bedroom farmhouse named "The Pinecone" on 23A to work on material for a record deal. Along the way, they opened for such rock acts as J Geils and The Edgar Winter Group on their Frankenstein Tour.
Since then, the band has written and recorded five independent studio albums, streaming world-wide on all music platforms in a dozen countries.
While Tannersville's music has been described as Americana, their arrangements have been compared to those of CSN's , Brian Wilson's, and Elton John's arrangements. (That's from Spotify, and you know those "algorithms" can't be wrong!)
Here's what actual humans have said about Tannersville:
"Tannersville is a regional treasure...the band is TIGHT!" (John Burton, host of the radio show/pod "Home From Here," a top-10 globally ranked podcast, MX Cloud Radio)
"[Tannersville's sound is] totally timeless music...they can win over an audience very quickly. The music has the feel of an era...like you've known it forever." (Janna Wallack-Cohen Kowan, Author of "The Naked Girl.)
MODEL DECOY
Model Decoy is Doron Monk Flake and Ari Sadowitz. Grounded firmly in rock with a heavy pour of R&B, the duo occupies a sonic space between Stevie Wonder and Soundgarden. Flake’s lyrics nod to his favorite characters from comics and beyond, and the band’s debut EP features narratives about
Thor, Hulk, Fantastic 4, Scott Pilgrim, Kill Bill and cult television show Community.
The nerd-driven content began as their old band, The Smyrk, was bowing out. “I had dabbled in nerdtastic compositions with ‘Dial V For Venom’ and ‘The Ballad of Fletcher Reede’” (about Spider-man and the Jim Carrey film Liar, Liar), says Flake. “But I fully realized that niche with ‘The End of Jason Todd’ and ‘Farewell to Arm,’ about Batman’s lesser known Robin and the best horror comedy ever, Evil Dead. Over Twitter, Bruce Campbell said we nailed it.”
