The Village Voice just named
Guns N’ Hoses “New York’s Best
Tribute Band of 2014”! —
This all-female Guns N’ Roses
tribute band from Brooklyn will
perform at 12 Grapes in Peekskill on Saturday, January 10th.
Guns N’ Hoses frequently
performs at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom and Rockwood Music
Hall, The Stone Pony in Asbury
Park and other prestigious
clubs. This is their second
appearance at 12 Grapes, and
last time out, the audience
went wild.
The Village Voice put it best:
“Tribute bands are hit or miss.
When the good ones are
great… they create something
completely new… Such is the
case with the all-female Guns
N’ Roses tribute band Guns N’
Hoses… [They] rock the songs
that inspired their act on a level
G N’ R would be proud (and
jealous) of. The women hit the
wailing — and wailing guitars
— to a T, adding a dose of their
own flair.” The review continues, “Fishnets, studded leather
and hair flips only up the
badass quotient, not to mention a hotness factor that puts
the original acts to shame.”
Guns N’ Hoses is a veritable
super group of the city’s hottest, nationally touring musicians — Erin Marsz (Axl Hose),
Charlene Kaye (Gash), Julia
Adamy (Muff McKagan), Emmy
Wildwood (Lizzy Stradlin), and
Gina Ilasi (Stephanie Adler).
They break hearts “and a few
jaws” every show with the raucous Rock of classic GNR.
They actually met Slash in LA
at one of their rehearsals, and
their rendition of “Sweet Child
of Mine” stopped him in his
tracks. Slash’s Twitter message
read, “Just met an all-girl band
called Guns N’ Hoses... Cool
chicks!... They sound pretty
tight, I have to say.”
New England Music News
wrote: “The Hoses are not a
tribute band that sound just
like the original. They are not a
collection of eye-candy, thrown
together that can just kindasorta play instruments. They are
not hipster smartasses mocking
the over-the-top silliness of the
original. They are a talented
band that really appreciates the
original GNR sound, and has
fun with it.”
The band totes the tagline,
“Welcome to the Vajungle”.
And while they don’t take
themselves too seriously, when
it comes to their music, Guns N’
Hoses is professional as it gets.
They consistently promise to
turn every show into a Rockin’
’80s hair metal party.
Guns N’ Hoses will be performing on Saturday, January
10th from 9:30–11:30 pm. There
is a $10 entertainment fee. For
best seating, 12 Grapes recommends calling early for dinner & show reservations.

PJ’S TO HOST BENEFIT CONCERT
FOR DEREK RICHARDSON
Derek Richardson is a lifelong musician and friend from Mount Kisco who
passed away from a sudden heart attack
way too soon at age 52.
Derek was an extremely talented
bassist who lived and breathed rock and
roll and his trusty black Rickenbacker
bass guitar was seemingly surgically
attached to his hip.
Derek possessed a keen sense of
humor, a biting wit and had an easily
recognizable and infectious laugh that

ZAP MAMA & ANTIBALAS AT RIDGEFIELD PLAYHOUSE
Zap Mama, the Afro-European
vocal quartet, and Antibalas, the
pioneers of Afrobeat, will come
together to celebrate the evolution of contemporary Afro music
at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Friday, January 9th, at 8pm.
The groups have collaborated
with numerous artists including
Black Thought, Questlove, Erykah
Badu and Common. Individually,
Zap Mama & Antibalas incorporate
a multitude of genres. Together
the result is unmatchable. This performance will combine the vocal
technique and European polyphony of Zap Mama with the New
York City Latin funk which Antibalas, Afrobeatís premier secondwave ensemble, is famous for,
along with traditional drumming
of Cuba and West Africa. This
show will expand the musical horizons for everyone who appreciates
live performance.
Palm Bay International will host
a tasting of wines/spirits in the
lobby at 7pm. This show is part of
the Palm Bay International World
Beat Series.
Zap Mama is the music act of
Belgian artist Marie Dalne who
sings polyphonic and Afro-Pop
music. It’s a harmonic music with a
mixture of infused African vocal
techniques, Urban and Hip-Hop
with emphasis on voice. The
worldwide success of Zap Mama,
and an ensemble of female polyphonic singers, inspired influences
in American Hip Hop, Nu-Soul,
Jazz and elements of Pop. Polyphony is a texture consisting of two
or more simultaneous lines of
independent melody, as opposed
to music with just one voice, called
monophony.
The evolving musical compositions created a diverse band of
singers and musicians for Zap
Mama, who says, “The voice is an
instrument itself. It’s the original
instrument — the most soulful
instrument, the human voice. Singing songs in French and English
with African World Music Roots.”
To understand why this show is
so worth seeing, Antibalas perhaps
Molly Darcys
puts it best: “Rhythm is what
makes a good Afrobeat record,”
says Gabriel Roth, Daptone
Records co-founder, producer and
connoisseur of all things funky.
“Not just the rhythm section, but
the rhythm of the horns, the
rhythm of the vocals, the rhythm
of the keyboards, everybody’s
rhythm. It’s not just being about
being right or wrong in your
rhythm, or being good at it, but
itís about feeling something the
same way, swinging the same way,
anticipating things the same way,
and hitting things the same way ó
everybody hearing music the same
way, and being able to turn all
those instruments into one voice.
Antibalas is the only band that can
do that, right now. That’s why
they’re still at the front of the
scene, after all these years.”
Fourteen years after their first
gig, and five since the release of
their last album, 2007’s Security,
Antibalas is back with their fifth
full-length release. Simply titled
Antibalas, the album is both a
blazing reaffirmation of the NYC
band’s collective musical strengths
and a hard-hitting continuation of
their funkified excursions into
what Antibalas founder and baritone saxophonist MartÌn Perna
calls, “our vault of esoteric sounds
and knowledge.”
Commenting on their new fiveweek tour with Zap Mama, Antibalas said, “On this tour, we’ll be
doing something completely new,
joining them (Zap Mama) during
their set, having them join us in
our set, and fusing our two musical worlds together in front of
your eyes and ears. This is something you wonít want to miss.”

INTUITION GUIDE
by Angela Pizzarello
Your Chakra System
The chakra system is a concept used to describe
the energy centers in our body. We have 7, starting
at the root, or base chakra. The root chakra (red)
relates to our survival; i.e., our physical needs
being met, feeling safe, and feeling like we belong
in our particular community. The second chakra
(orange) is about two inches below your navel, and
relates to emotion, prosperity, sexuality and pleasure. Located an inch or two below your breastbone
(the high stomach region) is your third chakra (yellow), also called the solar plexus chakra. This
relates to your will, drive, ego and ambition. It’s
the big “I want,” and “I deserve, “ and the source
of much of your power. The 4th chakra (green or
pink) is located in the center of your chest, and is
appropriately named the heart chakra. This represents our loving connections to others and to
ourselves. The fifth chakra (blue) is also called the
throat chakra, and is found in the same area. Our
ability to speak our truth and listen to the truth of
others (including spiritual truth) is located here.
The 6th chakra (indigo) is found just above the
midpoint of your eyebrows, and is nicknamed “the
third eye.” This relates to our intuition and our
ability to envision our future, i.e. our imagination.
At the top of your head in the center is the crown
chakra (white or violet), and it represents our connection to Spirit and Unity Consciousness.
How open or closed each chakra is will determine how much or how little energy flows in or
out of that chakra. This affects the quality of our
lives in different ways. For instance, if your second
chakra isn’t open enough, it will be hard for you to
manifest financial abundance. It will also affect
your ability to relax and be open to receiving
pleasure. On the other hand, someone with excessive second chakra energy may seem creepy to oth-
ers, as if his or her sexual energy is invasive or too
aggressive. It’s the same with each of the chakras.
Someone with a contracted heart chakra will have
a difficult time letting love in or giving love out,
while the person with an overly expansive heart
chakra may enter into co-dependent relationships,
or give to the point of exhaustion.
There are many techniques available to balance
and open your chakras. Spending time out in
nature is an easy way to balance your root chakra.
Moonlight and bathing will balance the second
chakra, while sunlight and exercise will balance the
solar plexus chakra. Spending time with people
you love, animals and small children will help open
the 4th, or heart chakra. The 5th or throat chakra
can be empowered through singing or chanting. (If
the 5th chakra is too open, leading to excessive
chattiness or gossip, try spending more time listening than speaking). You can open your 6th or third
eye chakra by paying attention to hunches and
looking for synchronicities, as well as by giving
yourself time to dream. The 7th or crown chakra is
strengthened through prayer, gratitude and doing
good works for others.
There are many other ways to keep your chakra
system healthy, such as yoga, wearing the corresponding essential oils for each chakra, or eating
food in the same color as a specific chakra. With a
little research you will find many more ways. Do
what feels pleasurable and energizing. Wishing
you good health and vibrant energy…xo Angela Pizzarello is a professional Psychic and Emotional Freedom Coach. She can be reached at tarotstar@yahoo, or at 203-532-1159. Call or email her

MARSHALL CRENSHAW PERFORMING
AT DARYL’S HOUSE IN PAWLING
Marshall Crenshaw returns to the
Hudson Valley with a performance at
Daryl’s House on January 17th at 9PM.
Born near Detroit, Michigan, Marshall
Crenshaw began playing guitar at age
ten and he received his first break playing
John Lennon in the off-Broadway company of Beatlemania. In 1987, he played
Buddy Holly in the Richie Valens biopic La
Bamba.
While living in NYC, he recorded the
single “Something’s Gonna Happen” for
Alan Betrock’s Shake Records, which led
to a deal with Warner Bros. His debut
album, Marshall Crenshaw was acclaimed
as a pop masterpiece upon its release in
1982 and established him as a first-rate
songwriter, singer and guitarist. The
record spawned the Top 40 single “Someday, Someway,” which rockabilly singer
Robert Gordon covered and scored a hit
with a year earlier, and other classics such
as “(You’re My) Favorite Waste of Time”,
“Whenever You’re On My Mind” and
“Cynical Girl.”
Over the course of a career that has
spanned three decades, 13 albums and
hundreds of songs, Marshall Crenshaw’s
musical output has maintained a consistent fidelity to the qualities of melody,
craftsmanship and passion, and his efforts
have been rewarded with the devotion of
a broad and remarkably loyal fan base.
Marshall Crenshaw has recently
started releasing his music on a subscription based EP series available only on 10”
vinyl and digital download. Each EP consists entirely of newly recorded, neverbefore-released material, encompassing a
new original Crenshaw composition, a
classic cover tune, and a new reworking
of a time-honored Crenshaw favorite.
Marshall is also kept busy touring around
the country and hosting his radio show
“The Bottomless Pit” every Saturday on
WFUV. Daryl’s House Club

THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME: CAUSES, TREATMENT & PREVENTION
by Dr. Steve Angelone
In this month’s column we will
discuss another condition that
musicians suffer from called
thoracic outlet syndrome.
Thoracic outlet syndrome or
(TOS) is a medical syndrome, or
collection of disorders, that are
associated with compression of the
thoracic outlet. Pain, tingling loss
of feeling, weakness and swelling;
all around the upper chest and
arms are some of the symptoms of
TOS. The cause of TOS is that of a
repetitive stress injury, an acute
injury, a complication of a preexisting condition or an evolution
to a previous injury.
The thoracic outlet is the space
between the collar bone and the
first rib. You have three main
anatomical components that run
through this space: the subclavian
artery, the subclavian vein and the
brachial plexus. The subclavian
artery and subclavian vein are
large blood vessels that carry
blood to and from the arm,
shoulder and hand as well to and
from areas of the head and neck.
The brachial plexus is part of the
neurovascular bundle and is a
large bundle of nerves that control
(muscle contraction and sensation)
the arms, hands and shoulder. In
laymans terms, these structures are
all major components of the
body’s plumbing, electrical and
data systems. And their condition
as well as those body parts they
feed can be significantly impacted
if compressed.
Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs
when the suclavian artery,
subclavian vein or brachial plexus
is compressed within the thoracic
outlet.
Musicians,
especially
guitarists and bassists are
susceptible to this compression
because of the shoulder strap they
wear. There are different
symptoms and affects on the body
depending on what item is
compressed, and as such there are
different forms of thoracic outlet
syndrome.
There are three types of thoracic
outlet syndrome:
NEUROGENCIC THORACIC
OUTLET (NTOS)
Where there is compression of
the brachial plexus. Compression
of this major nerve bundle may
result in weakness of the entire
upper extremity depending on
which muscle group is affected.
There also can be pain, numbness,
tingling and loss of sensation of
the upper extremity.
VASCULAR THORACIC OUTLET
(VTOS)
Where the subclavian artery or
subclavian vein is compressed and
blood flow is restricted. The blood
is the main transport system of the
body delivering fuel and oxygen
throughout the body and
removing waste before it can build
up and toxify the body.
Compression on one or both
vascular structures restricts blood
flow and can ressult in pain,
swelling, sensation changes and
muscle cramping.
COMMON THORACIC OUTLET
SYNDROME (CTOS)
Also known as non-specific TOS
and disputed TOS. This version,
although having symptoms similar
to VTOS and NTOS, displays no
compression of vascular or
neurological structures.
There are many potential causes
for TOS, including scalene muscle
(muscles on front of neck) spasm, a
cervical rib (transverse process
excess growth), hyperabduction
syndrome (shoulders retracted in
military stance), post collar bone
fracture, vertebral subluxation and
costoclavicular syndrome.
Treatment would have to follow
a thorough physical examination
by a proper health care provider.
Appropriate diagnostic studies
such as X-rays, MRI and CT scans to
rule out excessive bone growth
and doppler studies to eliminate
any vascular compromise. If its
determined that there is no bony
or anatomical changes resulting in
the symptoms. Then herbal antiinflammatories, massage therapy,
acupuncture, chiropractic and
physical therapy have all had
positive results.
Dr. Steve Angelone is a
chiropractor who has been
practicing in the Newburgh area
for 20+ years. A performing
musician in the Hudson Valley as
well, he presently performs with
the Stephen Alexander Band.

he can be reached at:

REVIEW: WESTCHESTER
BROADWAY THEATRE:
South Pacific
By Jim Petrillo (reprinted as WBT
encores South Pacific through
January 25.)
Who doesn’t like a good
Rodgers & Hammerstein musical?
South Pacific is truly one of their
best works. The music is classic
Broadway and the story line in
cohesive. This musical is set on a
Pacific Island paradise during
World War II. Within this play are
two love stories, tragedy and a
lesson on prejudice, plus a lot of
great, memorable music.
The show opens with a wonderful rendition of “Dites-Moi”
sung by Ngana and Jerome; Emile
De Becque’s young children. This
opening number set the stage
and pacing of what would be a
delightful and professional performance. We soon are introduced to Mr. De Becque, played
by the extremely talented George
Dvorsky and Ens. Nellie Forbush
played by Haley Swindal. Ms.
Swindal’s beautiful singing voice
had the audience full of anticipation for her next number, many
of which were backed up by the
talented, beautiful actresses who
played the nurses. The audience
truly loved “I’m Gonna Wash
That Man Right Outa My Hair.”
Let’s not forget the Sailors
and Seebees in the cast headed
by Luther Billis, played by Bill E.
Dietrich. The men’s strong voices
and tight harmonies filled the
theater with wonderful tones.
Their performance of “Bloody
Mary” along with Joanne Javien
who played Bloody Mary was
incredibly fun a full of energy.
Captain Joe Bracket played by
James Van Treuren lands on the
island to take on a dangerous
mission. He is introduced to
Bloody Mary’s daughter Liat and
quickly fall in love. Their chemistry and singing was magical and
the staging was inventive and
effective.
Act II opens with three strong
numbers; “Happy Talk” and
“Honey Bun” are full of fun and
shows off this cast’s talent. Joe
Cable’s “You’ve Got to be Carefully Taught” gave us reason to
think about its true meaning and
message that has stood the test
of time and rings true today.
Directed by Charles Repole, Choreographed by Michael Lichtefeld
with musical direction by Leo
Carusone. WBT’s presentation of
South Pacific will leave you smiling as you leave the theater with

RED MONKEY THEATER GROUP:
THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA
Red Monkey Theater Group
(RMTG), resident theater company at the College of Mount
Saint Vincent, presents The Two
Gentlemen of Verona by William
Shakespeare, performed by an
all-female cast directed by Tal
Aviezer. Performances are January 17-25, Fridays & Saturdays at
8:00 pm, Sundays at 2:00 pm in
Cahill Theater on the campus of
the College of Mount Saint Vincent, 6301 Riverdale Avenue, Riverdale, NY 10471. Tickets are currently on sale at www.redmonkeytheater.org ($18 general
admission, $15 students and seniors, free for College of Mount
Saint Vincent students and staff

The Two Gentlemen of
Verona is the second installment
in Red Monkey’s ongoing “Season Among Friends,” exploring
the theme of male friendship
through the work of four playwrights. Director Tal Aviezer has
decided to present this play with
a modern staging, using a cast
composed entirely of women.
“We hope that this choice will
allow audiences to experience
the play from a new perspective,”
Aviezer said, “and we are excited
to learn exactly what an allfemale cast will reveal about
friendship between men.”
The cast includes 11 actresses
performing a wide variety of
male and female roles. Nickelodeon fans may recognize cast
member Abby Wilde, who
appeared as Stacey Dillsen on the
TV shows Zoey 101, iCarly, and
Sam & Cat from 2006-2013. “Having an all-female cast creates a
huge opportunity for us to excavate the ideological dilemma in
greater depth and shine a light
on some of its darker corners,”
said Wilde, “and I’m excited to
see what we dig up.”
The cast also features Julie
Thaxter-Gourlay, Holland Renton,
Rebekah Madebach, Amelia
Huckel-Bauer, Emily Gordon Seif,
Zoey Rutherford, Sandra Ehrlich,
Jessica Rodwick, and Kelly Kirby.
The production includes original
choreography by Danielle Franklin and music by James Landrum.

Seemingly
comfortably
ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl
(Jonathan Nelson), a successful
writer of Broadway thrillers, is
struggling to overcome a “dry”
spell which has resulted in a
string of failures and a shortage
of funds. A possible break in his
fortunes occurs when he receives
a script from a student (Justin
Krass) in the seminar he has been
conducting at a nearby college—
a thriller which Sidney recognizes
immediately as a potential Broadway hit. Sidney’s plan, which he
devises with his wife’s (Karen
Symington) help, is to offer collaboration to the student; an idea
which the younger man is reluctant about. Thereafter suspense
mounts steadily as the plot
begins to twist and turn with
devilish cleverness, and with such
an abundance of thrills and
laughter, that audiences will be
held enthralled until the final,
startling moments of the play.
Rounding out the cast is Helga
ten Dorp (Connie Dyckman) the
ESP gifted sleuth and attorney,
Porter Milgrim (Scott Jones).
