Auditions for Dance Bands and Dsic
Jockeys
Belief in yourself is the key requirement in producing your own sound and then taking the next step in forming your own
band.
What this audition process allows you to try out both your new sound, or traditional dance music and have your band have
a place in which it can likewise reherse - but with a very active groups of dancers interacting with you at the sametime.
Here on on the Ithaca Commons is the focus in which you can explore, while giving your fellow bands members the additional
public opennings to get known necessary for their musical development. It all goes on every Tuesdays - when the weather permits
- from 7:00 to 10:00 PM and the time in which it starts May 14th, 2008 and goes on till the end of October, 2008.

SOUVENIR opens on the Main Stage | |
|
|
Directed
by Sara Lampert Hoover
If "music is the food of love," then Florence Foster Jenkins is the surprise
dessert. SOUVENIR, a Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins by Stephen Temperley, is an enormously funny and
moving tribute to a woman who followed her dreams - no matter how misguided.
Stephen Temperley's delightful
memoir of another time is told through the biting wit of Ms. Jenkins' talented accompanist Cosme McMoon. Sitting at the piano
late one night, he remembers how his life was changed by an amazing friendship with an unlikely partner. From Gershwin to
Mozart, it was the love of music that carried the two of them on a crazy, not-so-melodic ride.

Rachel Lampert's THE SOUP COMES LAST | |
|
|
Directed
by Margarett Perry
THE SOUP COMES LAST is writer/performer Rachel Lampert's hilarious
and heart warming memoir of her 1997 trip to China to stage a production of WEST SIDE STORY with an all Chinese speaking cast.
Her one-woman play is filled with tales of cross-cultural missteps, lost translations, and life changing events all driven
by the dictum "the show must go on!" Love, humor, backstage dramas and the universal desire to reach one's dream are the ingredients
of Lampert's Soup.

DOWNTOWN ITHACA SUMMER CONCERT
SERIES KICKS OFF THIS THURSDAY!
Thursday, June 7th…..Tarbox Ramblers…..Bernie Milton Pavilion.....7pm-9pm
Contact:
Katie Clapp, Ithaca Downtown Partnership, 607-277-8679,
katie@downtownithaca.com
The annual Downtown Ithaca Summer Concert Series,
a staple seasonal event on Thursday evenings in downtown Ithaca, kicks off this Thursday, June 7th at the Bernie
Milton Pavilion with the Tarbox Ramblers performing their signature alternative primal swamp blues.
This Boston-based band is a staple of Rounder
Records, and their 2004 release, A Fix Back East, has been critically acclaimed
by Rolling Stone Magazine. In 2001 the band toured with legendary Led Zeppelin front-man, Robert Plant, and in 2002 their
self-titled debut CD was featured on the BBC’s list of the year’s top ten albums. Expressing the need to
follow the musical traditions of hillbilly music and Delta blues reinterpreted towards the modern world, they have been compared
to alt-country favorite Wilco, and are a great match for Ithaca’s music loving crowd.
The Downtown Summer Concert Series, which runs
through August 30th, has evolved into an Ithaca summertime tradition. This year’s series, presented
by M & T Bank and Performance Systems Contracting, features a diverse selection of artist from Latin Jazz to Swamp Blues.
Bill Kirchen, the Grammy nominated rockabilly
legend behind the hit “Hot Rod Lincoln” will be another Series highlight on June 21st. Ménage, who graces the stage on July 5th, hails from Asheville, North Carolina and has been
praised by critics as a mix of Patsy Cline and Neil Young. Local favorites The Horse Flies will perform their own brand of
science fiction bluegrass funk on August 16th, and the “End of the Summer Blow-Out” featuring the Dave Matthews
Tribute Band on August 30th will bring the Summer Concert Series to a close.
All concerts are free and take place on the Commons
from 7pm to 9pm Thursday nights except for a few which occur on Wednesday nights. A complete schedule is available at www.downtownithaca.com or by calling the Ithaca Downtown Partnership’s office at 607-277-8679. Series brochures
are also available at all downtown hotspots.
Parking in downtown is free evenings and weekends
at the City garages and at the meters. Many shops on the Commons maintain later hours on Thursdays as well, so people can
come early to shop, dine, and enjoy the music.
For more information, contact Katie Clapp at the
Ithaca Downtown Partnership, 607-277-8679 or email Katie@downtownithaca.com.
