Black & Sparrow featuring Klyph Black and John Sparrow are a New York based acoustic duo that have been performing rock 'n' roll for years to receptive crowds. In the past they have opened shows for The Subdudes, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, Mick Taylor, Taj Mahal, Hot Tuna and many other national acts. Charles Neville as well as Grammy Award winner Terrance Simien joined the duo three years ago for a series of concerts.

Since then Black & Sparrow have taken on a whole new dimension with the addition of a full band behind their two acoustic guitars. Randolph A. Hudson III joined the team and he has played with the Fugs, Psychedelic Furs. Mike Mazzaraco another addition to the band and a graduate from The Conservatory of Music at SUNY Purchase is also currently a studio owner, recording engineer and a multi-instrumentalist. James Benard on drums is a professional multi-percussionist who studied with Jack DeJohnette and Tony Williams.

Hopefully Forgiven; performs mostly rock 'n' roll with a Twang and was voted 'Best Band in the Hamptons' by Dan's Papers last year and they recently released their debut album, Play On (recorded in a barn in Sag Harbor, NY) and will begin an intensive '15 tour focusing on the Hamptons and NYC.

Hopefully Forgiven is a hard drivin', mellow vibin', harmony soaked roller coaster cocktail of 100 years of American music and spirits. Singer/songwriters Telly Karoussos, and 'Alabama Brad' Penuel (by way of Nashville) deliver big harmonies, raw guitars and authentic songwriting that transcends genre and has attracted a devoted multigenerational fan base. Backed by Bryan Beyer, a 5th generation drummer, and Big Bad Ben Goodale and his signature "Flat Back Bass", Hopefully Forgiven is a crowd-pleasing, venue-filling favorite pumping out original music from a little barn on the east end of Long Island.

Tickets are $20 and are available online at www.baystreet.org or by calling the Bay Street Theater Box Office at 631-725-9500, open Tuesday through Saturday 11 am to 5 pm.
