Stargate and Ester Dean, Making Music Hits
“Talk That Talk,” a Dean-Stargate song that’s the title track of Rihanna’s most recent album, is built around one chord progression—F-sharp minor, E minor, B minor, D.

Underrated Ronnie tracks are the new underrated Keith tracks.
Living legend Levon Helm from The Band brings his famous “Midnight Ramble” sessions to the Old Town School for two highly anticipated performances. Levon’s Midnight Rambles are based loosely on the southern medicine shows of his youth, inviting a who’s who of rock, blues and jazz to his barn in Woodstock, New York for loose, yet musically inspired jams. For our Blue Jean Gala, Levon will transform the Old Town School stage into one of these famously intimate rave-ups.
The very special guest for both nights is none other than Donald Fagen who will be performing with Levon Helm’s band for the entire performance. And, yes! You can expect to hear a few Steely Dan hits!
Special guests on Friday are Paul Barrere & Fred Tackett a.k.a. “The Guitarists of Little Feat”. These long standing groove gurus will perform a short opening set as well as sit in with the Levon Helm band.
Special guest on Saturday night is singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins who, in addition to performing a short opening set, will also sit in with Levon.
Proceeds from this event provide support for the Old Town School’s new building and program expansion.
