| Analog
Playground
top |
Analog Playground
has been performing their own interpretations of songs from newer artists
like Jack Johnson and G Love, classic rock and jam band staples like the
Grateful Dead and Phish, select favorites from the 1990s, a stew of funky
blues from Ray Charles to the Meters, and even the occasional bluesed-out
jazz classic, since 2007. Comprised of Chris Carlsen (bass, vocals), Jerret
LeMay (vocals, guitar) and Dave Lesso (guitar, vocals), the group is louder
and looser than what typically comes to mind when people think of an acoustic
act. Visit them online at www.myspace.com/analogp

| Bach
Choy top |
Bach Choy is like a wake up call with a fresh cup of coffee and a smile.
They are a completely new and invigorating sound in the midst of the daily
grind. Described by some as sounding like “Herbie Hancock meets John
Lennon”, “Sly and the Family Stone jamming with Ben Folds Five”,
“Maroon 5 with special guests The Mahavishnu Orchestra”, or
“Jason Mraz and Miles Davis in a Cage Match”, their music is
totally their own, while also accessible to anyone who enjoys a steady groove,
a catchy hook and acrobatic musicianship. Check them out at www.myspace.com/bachchoyband

| About top |
The Rec Park Music Fest is looking forward to its forteenth year of providing
music and fun for all ages in Binghamton's Recreation
Park nestled between Beethoven and Seminary streets. The event started
small in 1996 when Jim Reyen (then bassist for Rhythm Gypsys) pulled together
a group of musician friends to play at the park. On just a small budget,
support from the city, fellow musicians and food vendors, the event was
an instant hit. In its second year the Binghamton Summer
Music Festival took the event under its wing and its been a flying success
ever since! Nestled below some huge oaks, the historic carousel running
in the background, kids playing on the playground and some of the areas
finest musicians performing in the Greek Revival rotunda made famous by
Rod Sterling, you'll enjoy every relaxing minute of this family outing.
