About the Event
Jon Cobert was born in Brooklyn, NY, studied piano and theory with Ted Harris and received a degree in music theory and composition from NYU. Jon plays the piano, organ, accordion, synthesizer, guitar, bass and drums. He also sings lead and backup vocals.
Monte Delaney, A steadfast star on the Hudson Valley music scene for the past 30 years, brings one of the most unique set of insights to the singer/songwriter genre. He is a United States Marine, a former NYC Police Officer, a teacher and a coach of high school State Champions, a practicing Trial Attorney, father, grandfather and former candidate for the New York State Supreme Court, just to name a few things that this award winning songwriter has been! He brings it all to the stage with him and weaves beautiful pictures with deeply contemplated lyrics served on a bed of delicious melody.
Vaneese Thomas was born in Memphis Tennessee and is the daughter of Rufus Thomas, whose legendary career as a musician and entertainer began in Vaudeville and spanned more than half a century in rhythm-and-blues recording and radio. Her older siblings are the hit recording artist “Memphis Queen” Carla Thomas and the highly respected keyboardist and producer, Marvell Thomas. Embracing this remarkable musical legacy, Vaneese carries forward the rich heritage of Memphis soul and R&B, a music that has touched several generations and crossed many divides. At the same time she has combined all the influences of her background and experience – R & B, gospel, blues, and jazz – to cultivate a soul-stirring style that’s all her own.
