On 11/27, we unexpectedly lost a beautiful soul and music supporter, Amy Corcoran, and would like to help her husband and son Ed and Wyatt during this difficult time.
For over 20 years the Corcorans have brought us together in love and music by hosting the yearly Great Magua festival on their beautiful property in Bolton Landing. The 518 music family will be holding a concert to remember Amy and to raise funds to help Ed and Wyatt to adjust to daily life without their loving mom and wife. Performers for the evening, which will be MC’d by The Corsican Brothers, include: Half Step, Shu, The Switch, Acoustic Circus and Rich Ortiz.
All ticket revenue will be donated to Ed and Wyatt. If you can’t make it to the event but would like to donate (or donate more than the $10 ticket price, you can make a donation on their GoFundMe Page. We will also have a collection bucket at the event. We appreciate your support.
Formed in 1991 by Juan and Michelle Calzada, Half Step has evolved into Juan Calzada on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Bob Peck on vocals and bass, David Lawson on vocals and lead guitar, and Robin Barkenhagen on drums. The group, drawing on musical influences from the Allman Bros., Bob Dylan, Santana, Pink Floyd, and The Grateful Dead, is an ever growing presence on the East Coast with a strong and loyal following.
In January 1996, Half Step released its debut CD with the help of Sweetfish Studios in Argyle, NY. The self-titled, ten song recording captures the very essence of the musical group’s influences of Rock, Folk, Reggae, and Latin. “This is a very rewarding album from a group that is not only musically proficient, but versatile.” Relix Vol. 23, No 5. The CD has been distrubuted to all parts of the world. Their second CD “Harvest Pickins” is a collection of live performances through 1999.
Half Step has performed at various night spots in The Adirondack region, The Capital Region, Vermont, New York City, and Key West, Florida. Half Step also plays private parties. The group has appeared in several festivals, including: Save The Rain Forest, Theta Chi House Springfest, The Adirondack New Music Fest, Fossomelinfest, Earth Day Fest, Bands & Beans, Key West Fantasy Fest, Rye Breads Annual Island Fest, The Great Mugwai, New York State Harvest Fest, Millenium Jam at The Glens Falls Civic Center, and Half Step’s Annual Log Bay Jam.
