This week featuring: ELI BOLIN & ALLISON POSNER
Eli & Allison have been making music together for nearly two decades. Equally comfortable with a full band or as an acoustic duo, their tight harmonies and love of melody shine through, whether performing originals or sing-along covers. You may have seen them last summer playing a full set of Fleetwood Mac covers as part of South Orange's Under Cover Fest. Together and apart, they have performed all over the New Jersey and NYC area, including at SOPAC, the Woodland, the Bell House, Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End, Ars Nova, 54 Below, Green Room 42 and even the middle of Times Square as part of the Broadway Buskers series.
Eli is an Emmy-nominated songwriter for his work with John Mulaney, with whom he wrote the songs for Original Cast Album: Co-op and John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch and has written music for Sesame Street for over 15 years. Allison has been a fixture of Maplewood’s SOMA Rocks and recently played Kerri Strug in the off-Broadway hit ‘The Magnificent Seven’. She also serves as co-president of SOMA Action, a local grassroots organization focused on driving progressive change.

This week featuring: DAVID EASTON BAND
David Easton is on the move, at least when it comes to his music. He has traveled around the US performing everything from pop/rock to jazz standards. You name it, he can do it. A singer, songwriter and keyboard player, his talent and versatility are just a part of his family legacy. His father was a composer/conductor/arranger/pianist who studied under Paul Hindemith at Yale and wrote music for 20th Century Fox and NBC. His great uncle Louis Silvers, was an Oscar winning musician "One Night of Love" and the genius behind the score for the groundbreaking first “talking” movie “The Jazz Singer.” with Al Jolson (1927) and the composer of such classic songs as "April Showers".
New York and New Jersey music fans recognize David. He has played at The Bitter End, Downtime, The Triad, Don’t Tell Mama, Kavehaz and Birdland, The Knitting Factory, Hat City Kitchen, Maplewoodstock, Rails Steakhouse, Ryland Inn, Stonehouse, Liberty House, and Gladstone Tavern just to name a few. His originality sprang from many influences that range from The Beatles and Billy Joel to jazz and classical music.
Among David’s accomplishments are working as the keyboard player in the off-broadway smash hit "A Jew Grows In Brooklyn." which ran in NYC from 2006-2007, and being commissioned to write and perform an original song called “Change The Way You See Everything” as a companion to the best-selling book of the same name. In 2008, his band won 2nd place in an original music contest judged by Trish Frisbie and Eugene Foley. In 2010, they made it to the local finals of the Hard Rock Cafe Ambassadors of Rock Battle of The Bands.
He has a BA in Music/Philosophy from St. Lawrence University, studied classical piano with Lee Dell'Anno at Kent School, jazz with the late great Jaki Byard (Manhattan School of Music) and done workshops with jazz legends Billy Taylor and Barry Harris. Torn between his passion to compose and perform he was awarded first place in the Hutchinson piano competition two years in a row.
David has his own band that plays mostly in the New York/Tri-State area showcasing David’s original pop/rock music and covers. Whether you are looking for a funky chill band to rock an audience or for a jazz combo to play at a private party, or a solo "Piano man" David Easton is your guy.
Here are some of the members who play regularly with David Easton Band:
Drums - Poet, John Oakes, Steve Plesnarski
Bass - Jon Ru, Glenn Korzin
Guitar - Udi Levy , Rob Betrus,
Sax - Dan Perez

Three Maplewood and South Orange residents have been making music for over 20 years as part of Walk the Dog and, more recently, as Laredo.
Laredo has performed at local restaurants and outdoor venues in Summit, South Orange, and Cranford, and, of course, a few times at Maplewoodstock, including a pinch-hit role when a band cancelled due to COVID. One day’s notice is not a problem for a band that knows over 100 tunes. Gary Shippy, drummer, is a co-founder of Maplewoodstock.
Laredo has some originals, but love to play covers from Dylan to Dawes and Croce to Carlile. They are often joined by guests from the local music scene and stock a few percussion instruments so young children can join the band at outdoor performances.
