Nationally Known Local Musicians Launch ‘Community Sing’ In Peekskill
Songs of "perserverance and protest" will be bursting forth from many lips at a free "Community Sing" at a Peekskill cafe this week. Leading the singers at the Beanrunner Cafe will be Lisa Gutkin, a violinist and vocalist for the Grammy-winning klezmer band, The Klezmatics, and well-known local musician Fred Gillen Jr. Gutkin and Gillen, both compatriots of the late folksinger, environmental champion and activist Pete Seeger, just started performing as a duo this fall.
