Dance and early music 

to be featured in July 

CLAYTON — The Thousand Islands 

Performing Arts Fund at the Clayton 

Opera House will host two diverse performances 

in July: “Ballroom With a Twist” 

at 7:30 p.m. July 14 and Ensemble Caprice 

performing a program of Renaissance and 

Baroque music, “La Follia and the Gypsies,” 

at 7:30 p.m. July 23. 

Tickets for both events are $25 each for 

reserved seating or $20 each for general 

admission and can be purchased at the 

opera house box office, by calling 686- 

2200, or online at www.ClaytonOpera- 

House.com. 

“Ballroom With a Twist” is a new dance 

production choreographed by Emmy 

nominee Louis van Amstel of “Dancing 

With the Stars.” 

Though “Ballroom” is based on the hit 

television show, it’s not a competition and 

no one gets eliminated. “We have musicals, 

Broadway-style dance numbers and 

classical ballroom,” Mr. van Amstel said. 

Under the artistic direction of Matthias 

Maute and Sophie Larivière, Ensemble 

Caprice is renowned for its innovative interpretations 

of Baroque music. Formed in 

Germany in 1989, the ensemble is now 

well established in Montreal. Since its inception, 

Ensemble Caprice has received

In its 22nd year, the orchestra is made

from the north country, the Northeast and 

Canada. Orchestra personnel have performed 

with the Montreal Symphony, the 

Syracuse Symphony, the National Arts 

Center Orchestra and many other orchestras 

around the world. Under the direction 

of maestro Kenneth Andrews, this concert 

will celebrate Independence Day and

The orchestra invited fans this year to 

vote on the music that will be played from a

Sackets series hosts tall-tale teller this Sunday 

ADIRONDACK YARNS: 

Bill Smith accompanied 

by fiddler Don Woodcock 

in medley of lyrical lore 

SACKETS HARBOR — The Concerts on 

the Waterfront series continues July 4 with 

Adirondack raconteur and musician Bill 

Smith and Don Woodcock, master fiddler. 

Mr. Smith hails from near Colton. Gathered 

around the old round oak stove, his extended 

family and an endless stream of visiting 

characters wove tall tales, most about 

how a city slicker (or anyone official, like a 

game warden) is dazzled and sometimes 

hoodwinked by the wise and crafty rural 

hero. Characters include Lanty Martin and 

his blue tick hounds, Uncle John and Aunt 

Lillian, Ira Irish and the Reverend Waterson. 

Bill, the youngest of 10 children, was 

born in the Adirondack foothills to Emily 

Bicknell and Roy Smith, a woodsman who 

delivered provisions to lumber camps 

more than 70 years ago. Emily boarded the 

loggers as they traveled from camp to 

camp, so there was a steady supply of 

north country originals. Once he learned 

to play the guitar, Bill began hanging out 

Adirondack raconteur and musician Bill Smith, right, and master fiddler Don Woodcock 

are featured Sunday in Sackets Harbor’s Concerts on the Waterfront series. 

with the fiddlers at Cook’s Corners and 

learned hundreds of the old tunes and ballads. 

He has spent his life in the Adirondacks, 

as a hunter, trapper, logger, fisherman, 

basket maker and guide. 

Mr. Smith has become well known 

throughout the Northeast having performed 

in hundreds of schools, town halls, 

church meeting rooms, and banquet halls, 

as well as sites such as the National Folk 

Festival in Lowell, Mass. and the Augusta 

Heritage Center in West Virginia. He has 

appeared in dozens of publications, including 

National Geographic and Dirty 

Linen, and has recorded a half-dozen albums 

of songs and stories. 

Mr. Woodcock holds the title of Grand 

Champion Fiddler of New York State, having 

won the state championship contest 

three times: in 1977, 1979 and 1982. 

The Concerts on the Waterfront is a free 

program of the Sackets Harbor Historical 

Society. All concerts are held from 3 to 5 on 

Sunday afternoons at the Battlefield State 

Park in the village. The rain site is the United 

Presbyterian Church, 101 S. Broad St. 

The concert July 11 features Soft Spoken, 

a seven-piece rhythm and blues 

group from Syracuse. 

Reggie Siegler, bass player and founder, 

records numerous commercials and 

voiceovers for radio and TV in his Bishop 

Marguerite studio. With the SSB he has 

played nearly every venue available to a regional 

act. He majored in voice at Alabama 

State University and currently plays bass 

and is elder statesman for the SUNY Cortland 

Gospel Choir. 

His wife, Donna Alford, brought up in 

church choirs, has recorded numerous jingles 

and commercials in addition to nearly 

17 years of performing with Soft Spoken. 

She is also responsible for the vocal harmonies 

for which the SSB is noted. She has 

been nominated for a Syracuse Area Music 

Award (SAMMY) three times. She also sings 

for ceremonies and events, and with her 

husband has traveled the Caribbean, performing 

on cruise ships.

Keith White, “the Kool One,” who keeps 

the beat of the band, was introduced to 

music in church at a very early age. 

Rob Brown (trombone and keyboard) is 

a music teacher at Blodgett Elementary in 

Syracuse. A graduate of SUNY Potsdam’s 

Crane School of Music, he also has a master’s 

degree in music education from Syracuse

Two recent additions to the band hail 

from Ghana, West Africa, and have played

CONCERT THURSDAY: 

Virtuoso Ken Peplowski 

to star with Siebel group 

NORWOOD — The Norwood Village 

Green Concert Series presents the Wally 

Siebel All Star Big Band with clarinet virtuoso 

Ken Peplowski at 7 p.m. Thursday. 

The band is comprised of professional 

Northern New York musicians including 

faculty from the Crane School of Music at 

SUNY Potsdam and area music educators. 

Mr. Siebel is co-founder of Northern 

Music and Video in Potsdam, a member of 

the Potsdam Clarinet Quartet and a past 

member of the boards of Music Theater 

North and the Community Performance 

Series. 

As director of the big band he has coordinated 

performances of guest artists such 

as Ed Shaguhnessey, Laurel Massé, Jeff 

Jarvis, John LaBarbara, Vince DiMartino, 

Danny D’Imperio, Russ Kassoff, Dennis 

McKrell, Michael Davis, Brett Zvacek, Gary 

Smulyan, Ken Peplowski, Ray Vega and 

others for the Norwood Village Green Concert 

Series and Crane Youth Music collaborations. 

The musicians in the band have accompanied 

artists as well-known as Tony Bennett 

and John Pizzarelli but still find time 

to play in the pit orchestras of many of local 

high school musicals. 

Mr. Seibel has produced and hosted 

North Country Public Radio’s “Big Bands 

Are Alive and Well” and he also is a gourmet 

chef, guesting at The 1844 House and 

The Cranberry Lake Inn. He is food critic 

for the Watertown Daily Times. 

Ken Peplowski, who has played jazz 

since his early teens in Cleveland, Ohio, 

has played venues including small clubs, 

the Hollywood Bowl (at a sold-out concert), 

Las Vegas, the Newport Jazz Festival, 

pops concerts and European festivals. 

At home in New York City he has done 

verything from playing on the soundtracks 

to Woody Allen movies, to taking on the

role of music director for interactive 

French and Italian cookbooks (“Menus 

And Music.”) 

“By the time I hit high school, I was 

teaching at the local music store, playing 

in our family band, and playing jazz gigs 

around town while still getting up early 

every day for school,” he said. 

After a year of college, he joined the 

Tommy Dorsey Orchestra under the direction 

of Buddy Morrow. 

In 1980, Mr. Peploswki moved to New 

York City and was soon playing in all kinds 

of settings, from Dixieland to avant-garde 

jazz. In 1984, Benny Goodman came out 

of retirement and put together a new 

band, hiring Mr. Peplowski on tenor saxophone. 

He wound up signing with Concord 

Records, under the tutelage of Carl Jefferson, 

founder and president, and recorded 

close to 20 albums as a leader. “The Natural 

Touch” in 1992 was chosen Best Jazz

Musicians from last year’s Rock for the River pose on the Clayton waterfront. From left: Joey Ryan, Meiko, Garrison Starr, Freddy Bokkenheuser, 

Matt DelVecchio, Chris Seefried, Joe Purdy and Jay Nash. 

FROM PAGE 2 

Meiko, Cary Brothers, Greg Laswell, Keb 

Mo’, Brett Dennen and Colbie Caillat. 

Chris Pierce continues to tour worldwide 

and is in preproduction for a followup 

to his successful independent soul album, 

“Walking on the Earth.” Artists he has 

opened for include B.B. King, Seal, Colbie 

Caillat, Al Green, Jamie Cullum, Toots & The 

Maytals, Robert Cray and Brett Dennen. 

Singer/songwriter Joe Purdy released 

his 10th album, “Last Clock on the Wall,” in 

2009. He releases his albums on his independent 

label, Joe Purdy Records, and 

with the help of national TV placements 

and a grassroots fan base, has been able to 

sell 800,000 direct track downloads in the 

U.S. on iTunes without signing to a label. 

His albums reflect his travels (“You Can 

Tell Georgia,” “Paris in the Morning”) including 

as a stop on the river (“Julie Blue”). 

His songs have been featured on network 

television (“Lost,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” 

“House”) as well as a national KIA ad. 

Garrison Starr’s fans range from comedian 

Margaret Cho to musician Mary 

Chapin Carpenter. Her latest work, “The 

Girl That Killed September,” was released 

on Media Creature Music. 

Joey Ryan’s current EP, “Kenter Canyon,” 

eleased on Mophonics on Jan. 19, features 

performances by Sara Bareilles, Dave 

Rawlings, Z Berg and Matt Chamberlain. 

Amber Rubarth’s debut CD was named 

among the top 10 albums of the year by the 

Owl Mag. Her musical hero, Tom Waits, 

helped choose “Washing Day” (co-written 

with Adam Levy of Norah Jones’ band) for 

first place in the International Songwriting 

Competition for Lyrics. She is now touring 

the U.S., Europe and Japan in support of 

her new release, “Good Mystery,” which 

she released to a sold-out crowd at the New 

York City theater, Joe’s Pub. 

Chris Seefried garnered national attention 

when Quincy Jones signed his band, 

Gods Child, to Warner Brothers Records. 

The single, “Everybody’s 1,” charted in two 

Billboard charts simultaneously, peaking at 

No. 18 on the mainstream rock chart and 

No. 25 on the modern rock chart. After two 

albums with Warner Brothers, Mr. Seefried 

moved to Los Angeles and started the band 

Joe 90. Adam Duritz of Counting Crows 

signed the group to Geffen records. Their 

debut record, “Dream This,” includes the hit 

song “Drive,” featured as an end title on the 

how to teach themselves, and to learn how 

to bring out their own best qualities,” he 

said. “After all, jazz is about individuality 

— first you learn the rules, then you break 

them. I would like to think that I never stop 

learning myself!” 

He received a lifetime achievement 

award at the Elkhart Jazz Festival and is 

musical director for The Jazz Cruise, the 

Oregon Festival of American Music, and 

the Eugene, Ore, Jazz Festival. 

Admission to Norwood Village Green 

concerts is free but there is a “pass the 

bucket”. The series is supported in part by 

the New York State Council on the Arts, a 

public agency. 

Next, the series presents the north 

country “bistro”-style group, Piquant, at 7 

p.m. July 11. 

For more than 10 years Piquant has 

been perfroming its spicy blend from 

Latin dance styles such as the tango, rumba, 

waltz, cha-cha and samba. The band 

also explores the tones of French Musette 

and adds a touch of swing. 

Piquant is the house band for the popular 

dance series, “Tango with Todd.” 

Piquant has performed for the summer 

HBO hit series “Six Feet Under.” Their second 

album, “A Raccoon’s Lunch,” features 

“And When I Die,” the end title from the New 

Line Cinema film “Final Destination.” 

Mr, Seefried just finished scoring 

Michael Cuesta’s latest movie “Roadie” 

due out in the fall. “Fitz and the Tantrums” 

full length debut “Pickin’ up the Pieces” 

produced and co-written by Chris is due 

out this summer. 

Justine Bennett’s EP “Heavy Feeling” 

was released May 4, produced and cowritten 

by Mr. Seefried. 

Eliza Moore studied at Guildhall School 

for Music and Drama in London, England, 

where she developed a passion for world 

music and collaborative composition. She 

divides her time between her family home 

on Grindstone Island and Montréal. In 2003, 

she released her first record, “Simplicity” 

with New York City producer Scott Mann. 

In 2008, she recorded “Beauty in Mystery” 

with Los Angeles producer and acclaimed 

jazz musician Deron Johnson.
