Stick Against Stone Orchestra

The Stick Against Stone (SAS) Orchestra will be performing songs not heard in almost 30 years from the rediscovered songbook of Stick Against Stone, as part of a free outdoor concert on Saturday, July 9th at 2pm at the Herbert Von King Park Recreation Center (670 Lafayette Avenue) in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. To be filmed for the cross-media documentary-in-progress “Get It All Out” (http://www.getitalloutmovie.com) – the SAS Orchestra is a 12+ member all-star ensemble of New York City musicians.

Lead by music director David Terhune, the SAS Orchestra is made up of veteran NYC-area musicians - including members of Loser's Lounge (founder/keyboardist Joe McGinty and David have been mainstays at Joe's Pub and other performance spaces for 15+ years), in addition to David Miles – guitarist from the Bronx-raised post-punk/hip-hop notables ESG, drummer Denny McDermott (Donald Fagen, Marc Cohn), bassist Jesse Krakow (director of the recent New Yorker magazine “Critics Pick” benefit/tribute to the late Captain Beefheart), percussionist Yusuke Yamamoto (Dizzy Ventilators, Sabina Sciubba), and saxophonist Paula Henderson (Burnt Sugar, Melvin Van Peebles). A new album by the SAS Orchestra is planned for release in the fall of 2011.
