SARATOGA ORIGINALS IS A NEW SERIES THAT FEATURES LOCAL MUSICIANS FROM
THE SARATOGA COMMUNITY. The first show features Mark TOLSTRUP, Rick
BOLTON, and STEVE CANDLEN, three staples of the SARATOGA MUSIC SCENE.
These musicians often entertain in noisy rooms, but this is their
chance to show off their original music to a room of attentive
listeners. The show will begin with sets from all three of these
musicians and conclude with a collaborative performance. SARATOGA
BLUESMAN MARK TOLSTRUP HAS ENTRANCED EAST COAST BLUES FANS WITH HIS
PASSIONATE DELTA SLIDE FOR MANY YEARS, both solo and with acoustic and
electric bands. His set will include original songs that breathe new
life into the blues tradition. Rick BOLTON HAS BEEN A STAPLE OF THE
SARATOGA MUSIC SCENE FOR YEARS. He plays regularly around the capital
region in bands like the Dwyer Sisters, Big Medicine, or as a solo
act. Rick hosts the weekly open mic at Gaffney's in SARATOGA AND HAS
BEEN A STRONG INFLUENCE ON MANY YOUNG MUSICIANS. STEVE CANDLEN IS A
SINGER-songwriter who has played all over the capital region. He began
his music career as a drummer, playing for artists like Franklin
Micare, Felix Cavelieres Rascals and Irish folk artist Kevin McKrell
but he's now more likely seen singing his own original music. In 2005,
STEVE WON THE MUSIC FOR MIRACLES SONGWRITING CONTEST WITH THE SONG ALL
OVER THE WORLD.
