Saturday, May 13th at 8:30PM: STEVE CHIZMADIA and The STONEHOUSE Band Steve is really excellent; I opened my second Six String Island podcast with his wonderful 'New York Moon', which later got featured in another podcast called Six String Torture, put up by a newbie guitarist in New Jersey. So, you see, Steve gets around, even when he's not traveling to Texas or Louisiana. The Stonehouse band evolved from Toneworks into a trio that does lots of faves from the '60s and '70s.  The open mike starts at 7:30. The concert will be held at the usual Eclectic spot, the Unitarian Universalist Society, 28 Brentwood Road in Bay Shore.
