The Helderberg Hot Club is a Django-style jazz manouche ensemble based in the Capital District.

Often called Gypsy Jazz, it is an ebullient, accessible style of music made popular by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli in 1930s Paris. Members of The Helderberg Hot Club include John Whitbread on guitar and vocals, Adam Payne on guitar, and bassist David Howe, with guests Steven Horowitz on trumpet and clarinetist Robin Seletsky.

The final Coffeehouse at the Theatre for Music on the Delaware’s 2023-24 season will take place on Sunday, May 19 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and will welcome a duo from Northeastern Pennsylvania called The Tune Keepers.
Steve Jacobi and Dale Teeple have been playing music together for over 40 years as members of the group “The Old Time Fiddlers” and a band called “Fiddlin’ Around.” Because of their dedication to preserving the art of fiddling, they are calling their duo “Tune Keepers.” They have a repertoire of hundreds of tunes from many parts of the world, including Irish, Scottish, Scandinavian, and Canadian, along with many styles of American fiddling.
They like to take audiences on a voyage into the world of fiddling. Steve is a five-time champion in his age of class in the prestigious fiddling contest in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada, and recently won second place in his age group in the National Fiddling Contest in Weiser, Idaho. He was also inducted into the NYS Fiddlers Hall of Fame in July of 2023.
Dale was raised in a musical family and learned piano at a nearly age from his mother. He has developed a beautiful style of piano accompaniment, being influenced by some of the top traditional players in Canada.
This coffeehouse program is free, with donations for Music on the Delaware gratefully received. Coffee, tea and desserts will be available.
This event brings to a close Music on the Delaware Coffeehouse series for the 2023-24 season. We look forward to more great music in the coming year!
Sloan Wainwright
Sunday, November 17, 2024, 6pm-8pm
Music on the Delaware is pleased to present singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright as the November 17 performer at the Music onthe Delaware Coffeehouse in the Walton Theatre. The concert runs on Sunday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm on the second floor of the theatre.
Sloan is a songwriter, singer, performer, teacher, mentor and collaborator. A unique hybrid of pop, folk, jazz and blues, Wainwright’s music is unified by her melodious tone and rich, powerful contralto. Over the course of a 30-year career in music, she has played the great concert halls, the most storied listening rooms and top music festivals while also teaching at the nation’s leading music retreats. In addition, she has released 11 original CDs.
Most of all, Wainwright is an artist. As a member of an acclaimed family of artists (brother Loudon Wainwright, sister-in-law Kate McGarrigle, nephew Rufus Wainwright and nieces Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche), Wainwright has charted an artistic path all her own, one based in close observation, joy, and spiritual connection.
Sloan’s music can be found at www.sloanwainwright.com or on YouTube.
