Event: The Rusty Doves
Place: Unity Hall – 101 Vanderkemp Ave. Barneveld, NY
Date / Time: Friday, May 21, 2010 - 8pm
Admission: $8 / $10
The Rusty Doves are hard to peg – and
that’s a part of what makes them so special and enjoyable. A Doves
performance is a kaleidoscope of sound. Alyssa Stoke and Jerry
Dee deliver unique interpretations of bluegrass, swing, pop and
old-time jazz standards, as well as their own original material. Few
groups cover a range of artists as diverse as Leonard Cohen, Fats Waller,
Radiohead, The Animals and Metallica. The Doves not only do it, they do
it with a style and flair that makes it work wonderfully.
Alyssa Stoke plays mandolin and handles the lead vocals. Her
extraordinary voice transitions smoothly, giving poignant, tender and
powerful voice to the wide range of material she and Jerry Dee cover in a
typical set. Dee, on upright bass, is equally versatile thanks to a
musical background that includes classical training on the bass and time
spent in reggae, funk, rock and jazz-fusion bands. Jerry's style has been
described as playing the bass "like a dance partner- with agility, command
and a steady rhythmic excitement that becomes contagious."
Whether playing in a rowdy bar or a
concert hall, the Doves always manage to draw a strong response from
people of all ages and walks of life. The ‘live’ acoustics of the
upstairs theater make Unity Hall a great place to catch the Rusty Doves in
concert. Don’t miss the chance to catch two of the regions most talented
and entertaining musicians live in a venue perfectly suited to their
style.
