Live From Big Twig
A series of intimate concerts
at Big Twig Studios in Roscoe, NY,
and broadcast live on WJFF 90.5fm.
David Driver
Sings the Scott Walker Songbook
Julia Greenberg
Sings the Dory Previn Songbook
Saturday, August 16 :: 7pm
Big Twig Studios, Roscoe, New York
Tickets: $25 :: Reservations Required
The enigmatic and influential subject of the documentary film 30 Century Man, Scott Walker is ripe for re-discovery—and downtown chanteur David Driver (seen alongside Deborah Harry and Elvis Costello in "Fire at Keaton's Bar and Grill," and heard as the voice of everything from "The Daily Show" to Dunkin' Donuts) is the singer for the job. With his band The Walker Brothers, Scott Walker ruled the airwaves in the 60's, outselling even the Beatles. His gritty glam lyrics, passionate crooning and Dada arrangements are late-20th-century music's road not taken.
Julia Greenberg sings the uncompromisingly neurotic, surreal, sexual and hauntingly honest songs of Dory Previn. An Oscar and Emmy wining lyricist who released seven critically acclaimed albums after the age of 40. Previn's work explores musical and lyrical territory untouched by the better known confessional women singer-songwriters of the 1970's. Julia Greenberg, a neurotic singer-songwriter herself (and co-writer of the hit off-Broadway musical "People Are Wrong!") was influenced by Previn long before she ever heard one of her songs.
Seating is limited so reserve your seats early by calling WJFF at (845) 482-4141.
Big Twig Studios are located at 855 County Road 93, Roscoe, NY 12776.

Forum on Delaware River Flooding
Sponsored by radio station WJFF and Drowning on the Delaware, a group representing victims of the Delaware floods.
Over a span of two years from 2004 to 2006, three devastating floods swept along the Delaware River system taking lives and destroying communities, homes and infrastructure in 4 states. All of these floods occurred while the giant reservoirs at the headwaters of the river were either full or overflowing. The reservoirs are managed by New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP).
This forum was organized to examine the causes of these floods and determine whether or not full and overflowing reservoirs could have contributed to increasing the flood crests on the river, and examine why the NYCDEP kept these impoundments at full capacity.
