~~~ Segment ONE~~~

Art d’echo Trio – Performing

  • Mike Lawrence, Bassist,
  • Dave Gleason, Pianist
  • Pete Sweeney, Drummer

April was designated Jazz Appreciation Month in 2002 by the Smithsonian Institute. Each year the Albany Musician’s Union (AFM local 14) puts on a free concert for the public featuring four jazz groups at the Colonie Elks Club. Food and beverage are available to purchase at the bar and grill.  The Art D’echo Trio will perform a set at 2:55. Other groups featured that day will be Mo Rancourt Quartet at 2pm; Michael Benedict’s Jazz Vibes at 3:50pm; Scott Bassinson Quartet at 4:45pm.      

Dave Gleason teaches music at Schenectady High School and Mike Lawrence teaches orchestra at Oneida Middle School. Pete Sweeney has toured the world as both a performer and educator in addition to authoring a number of drum set method books.  The three began performing together over 15 years ago as the rhythm section of a local big band; Dave subsequently led the Latin-jazz group Sensemaya; the three have performed as the Sensemaya Trio; Peanut Gallery Jazz Band before settling on the new name. The Art D’echo Trio can be seen performing regularly at Grapa ’72 in Albany and various town park concerts around the region. Mike and Dave often perform as a duo at Jazz Vespers at 1st Reformed Church in the Stockade as well as at Duke’s Chophouse in Rivers Casino.

Amazing Cakes – Treatie Beatie Cakes by Evelyn

  • Evelyn Keplinger, Cake Decorator
  • Robert Keplinger, Assistant/ baker

Evelyn’s goal is to eventually have her own cake show and share ideas with other bakers and have guest artists from all over to teach the arts. She’s also like to be a regular on the Food Network and that would be her dream come true.

Evelyn has been featured in Cake Central Magazine and Cake asters Magazine, New York Cakes Newsletter as well in many other articles and competitions in New York City.

Photos of some of her cakes will be shown during the show.

From her website: At Treatie Beatie Cakes By Evelyn, we create cakes and cupcakes for all occasions: Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Corporate Events, Bar Mitzvahs, and more. Our cakes are made from only the finest ingredients, including our very own signature buttercream, and ganache. Sometimes a cake is covered in fondant to create a beautiful, mouth-watering design! We’re happy to work with any idea, no matter how far-fetched! It could be a multi-tiered cake, with favorite fun characters on it, or maybe a cake made to look like a high heel shoe! We’ve even made gumball machine cakes, fit for any child or adult. We welcome a challenge, whether it be an elegant or simple creation, we’ve got it covered.

~~~ Segment FOUR ~~~

She’s Awaken – Empowering women

  • Julia Banks, Founder

This event on Oct. 23 will bring awareness to the effects of domestic violence and sexual abuse. So many men, women and children are being triggered and don’t realize what is happening. We/re working on jobs, going to school, in relationships, raising families, playing sports, operating in ministry, working in churches, but don’t know that we are being triggered by traumatic experiences. This event will raise awareness, we will have a few speakers as well as panelist, vendors and other organizations in the building. We will have a speaker that will share her story of domestic violence, and the triggers, we will have someone talk about sexual abuse and her triggers, we will also have someone talk about being in a relationship at 11 years old and how they were being physically and sexually abused and no one knew. I would love it if a man could come and share their story.

  • Organization: She’s Awaken
  • Mission: Our mission is to host various events that will help women to awaken to their true selves. To help people heal and find freedom in the area of their past pain/trauma.  Once she is awakened she then understands the importance of family, children, health, men, finances, community. When she’s awakened she will walk in who she was created to be not what trauma told her to be.
