Blood, Sweat & Tears
Blood, Sweat & TearsFriday, Oct. 4, doors: 7 p.m., show: 8 p.m.
Blood, Sweat & Tears is not the first band to ever use a horn section, but they are the first to fuse it with rock, jazz and some blues thrown in for good measure. From the first ensemble in the late sixties practicing in a loft on Bleeker Street in New York’s Greenwich Village and having crowds clapping on the street below between songs, founding member and drummer Bobby Colomby knew they were on the right course. Since then, the band hasn’t stopped touring – for over 50 years!

Chazz Palminteri’s ‘A Bronx Tale’
Chazz Palminteri’s ‘A Bronx Tale’Sunday, Oct. 6, doors: 6 p.m., show: 7:30 p.m.
Bronx-born and raised Chazz Palminteri was a natural choice to continue the long line of prominent Italian actors in the film industry. In the tradition set forth in the 1970s by such icons as director Martin Scorsese and actors Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, Palminteri has brought grit, muscle and an evocative realism to the sidewalks of his New York neighborhood, violent as they are and were.
