new annual budget for the Roost at the next Board of Directors meeting. Please be aware that next January, ALL Board
of Directors and Officers of the Roost will be open. Please consider stepping up to be part of a
new 2019 leadership team for Roost #44.

Remember that your Roost Membership card entitles
you to a 20% discount on food, beverage & apparel purchases at the Original
Greene Turtle (116th St.). We encourage
all Roost members and committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle!
Remember that we collect plastic grocery bags at
every Roost meeting. These bags are used
by Diakonia (Local Food Bank & Homeless Shelter) to distribute food
contributions to the needy. My white
Ford pickup truck is parked in front of OC 360 at every Roost meeting. Simply put your plastic bags (tied up
tightly) in the bed of the truck. This
is a great way to recycle plastic bags for a good cause.

Thursday
– Freeman Stage at Bayside – The Hunts,
7pm, Free. Known for their harmony-laced
take on alt-folk, The Hunts are a Chesapeake, Virginia-based band of seven
siblings who’ve been playing music together almost their entire lives. Twin sisters Jessi and Jenni and five brothers
Josh, Jonathan, Jordan, Justin, and Jamison, now ranging in age from 26 down to
17, learned to sing and play violin as young kids and spent much of their
childhood performing in their community. Inspired by shared memories, The Hunts have
created songs that capture heartache and wonder with a wide-eyed but wistful
elegance. The Hunts hold true to a
songwriting process that taps into each member’s unique strengths but remains
intensely collaborative. That unified
approach infuses their music with an irresistible richness of spirit. Their songs are artfully arranged yet
instilled with a graceful simplicity. BYOC-

Saturday – Freeman Stage @ Bayside - Bruce
Hornsby & The Noisemakers with special guest The Wood Brothers, 7pm,
$55. Bruce Hornsby’s work displays a
creative iconoclasm that’s been a constant in the artist’s two-and-a-half
decade recording career. His commercial
stock soared early on, when “The Way It Is” — the title track of his 1986 debut
album — became one of the most popular songs on American radio. Despite his early mainstream successes,
Hornsby has pursued a more personal, idiosyncratic musical path, focusing on
projects that sparked his creative interest, including collaborations with the
Grateful Dead, Spike Lee, Ricky Skaggs, Don Henley, Ornette Coleman, Bob Dylan,
Bela Fleck, Bonnie Raitt, Pat Metheny, and Robbie Robertson. Hornsby’s performance will offer a glimpse of
a restless spirit who continues to push forward into exciting new musical
terrain.
The Wood Brothers’ sixth and latest album, "One
Drop of Truth," dives headfirst into a deep wellspring of sounds, styles
and influences. Whereas their previous
outings have often followed a conceptual and sonic through-line, here the
long-standing trio featuring brothers Oliver and Chris Wood along with Jano Rix
treat each song as if it were its own short film. The plaintive, country-folk of the album’s
opening track “River Takes The Town” gives way to the The Band-esque Americana
soul of “Happiness Jones.” The wistful
ballad “Strange As It Seems” floats on a cloud of stream of consciousness,
standing in stark contrast to “Sky High” — a Saturday night barnburner built
upon stinging slide guitar funk. “Seasick
Emotions” is rife with turmoil, yet “Sparking Wine” is jaunty and carefree. The end result is undeniably The Wood Brothers’
most dynamic recording to date.
This performance will offer limited Premium Assigned
Seating tickets and General Admission tickets. Tickets are required for all
patrons, including infants and toddlers.

Monday
– Freeman Stage at Bayside - The Four Tops & The Temptations, 7pm, $50 - $85. For more than 50 years, The Temptations have
prospered, propelling popular music with a series of smash hits, and sold-out
performances throughout the world. The
history of The Temptations is the history of contemporary American pop. An essential component of the original Motown
machine, that amazing engine invented by Berry Gordy, The Temps began their
musical life in Detroit in the early '60s. An avalanche of hits followed, including
"The Way You Do the Things You Do," "My Girl," "Papa
Was A Rolling Stone," and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." The current lineup includes Otis Williams, Ron
Tyson, Terry Weeks, Larry Braggs and Willie Greene Jr.
The Four Tops, formed in 1953, are a highly
respected American soul, R&B and Motown vocal quartet hailing from Detroit,
Michigan. Their first Motown hit, “Baby
I Need Your Loving” in 1964, made them stars and their '60s track record on the
label are indispensable to any retrospective of the decade. Their songs, “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie,
Honey Bunch),” “It’s The Same Old Song,” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” were
across-the-board successes and long-standing favorites to many. In 1990, The Four Tops were inducted into the
Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Tickets required for all patrons, including infants
and toddlers. No re-entry permitted. Seats are provided in assigned seating
section. Seats are not provided or permitted in Standing Room Only section.
