Demystifying Medicare is offered as part of the ongoing work of the Westchester Library System to provide authoritative, actionable information that supports seniors in being connected and well-informed. In this free, engaging session you will learn about the various parts of Medicare and the costs associated with medical and drug insurance provided by the government and private companies.
Topics include original Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans, prescription drug plans (Part D), Medigaps (supplemental plans), and cost-saving programs like EPIC that can help seniors with limited resources.

Jazz On Main

You, yes, you the audience, will be in the driver's seat and stir the show. on request performances by Jon Cober and Frank Shiner.&nbsp;
Jon Cobert&nbsp;is a successful composer and producer, but his skills as a musician launched his career—recording and performing with John Lennon, Tom Chapin, Loudon Wainwright III, John Denver, Laura Branigan, Henry Gross, Phyllis Hyman, and many other outstanding artists. If you’ve heard John Lennon’s recording of Stand By Me or ESPN's Baseball Tonight Theme—or &nbsp;hundreds of other well-known recordings, TV ads and radio jingles—then you know Jon’s work as musician, composer and producer. &nbsp;
Jon is best known as a pianist, but he also plays organ, synthesizer, accordion, guitar, bass, and drums, sings lead and backup, and has a state-of-the-art studio where he’s earned five Grammy nominations. &nbsp;&nbsp;
When he’s not in the studio or on tour you can often find Jon doing what he loves, playing keyboards and singing in clubs around the New York area. &nbsp;Whether he’s working with world-famous artists, recording a jingle that will be heard by millions on TV, or rocking live in a friendly club—Jon makes music!&nbsp;
Frank Shiner’s own story as a performer (and in recent years as a recording artist) is atypical: after nearly two decades away from working as an entertainer – “I paid my dues, I fulfilled responsibility as a father, husband, a friend, as a business person and put everything on back burner” – Frank returned to singing following his wife Suzanne’s battle with cancer in 2009. &nbsp;A year later, she encouraged him to sing one night at a local open mic night and the audience reaction – along with that of the bandleader who followed Frank out to the parking lot to almost beg him to become a vocalist with his orchestra – led Shiner back to performing on a regular basis.
Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, growing up in Mountain Top (and from the age of ten, working side-by-side with his late father Francis in the family-owned bakery), Frank’s love for music and theatre first found expression when he was cast in the role of Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, “I finally felt at home when I stood on that stage and heard the audience reaction and felt that energy, I said, ‘ok this is what I want to do.’” In college, Frank briefly began studying law before switching to acting, training in classics by Shakespeare and Moliere and moving to New York, where he would go on to appear in over sixty theatre and television productions and meet “the love of my life” Suzanne, who he married within two years after arriving in New York.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/159923/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Stan Ipcus is a hip-hop artist from White Plains (currently residing in Bedford Hills) who has represented the 914 in his music for well over two decades. With street-wise, clever lyrics, in-the-pocket flows, and production inspired by the boom bap, sample-heavy classics he was raised on in the ‘90s, Stan has managed to age gracefully as an MC and earn his respect across the underground hip-hop community in New York and beyond.
His music can be heard regularly on popular Hot 97 and Shade 45 rap radio shows, and he’s performed at legendary venues in New York ranging from Madison Square Garden to Webster Hall to the Capitol Theatre here in Westchester County. Ipcus is also featured on Matisyahu’s GRAMMY-nominated album Youth, and he’s the author of the critically-acclaimed book Do Remember! The Golden Era of NYC Hip-Hop Mixtapes.
Stan's had three projects celebrated on Bandcamp's monthly Best Hip-Hop list, including his 2024 LP Sleep If You Want which is out now on all streaming platforms and available on Tape Kingz vinyl.&nbsp;
On July 30th, Stan Ipcus will be performing an intimate set at Jazz On Main with a host of friends and frequent collaborators including beatboxer Max Bent, DJ Marcus Pinn, and singer/songwriter Matty B.&nbsp;
About Max Bent:
Max Bent is a beatboxer and producer who facilitates collective creativity through live community events. He also instructs beatboxing at the Peabody Conservatory, and has performed with Stan Ipcus since their college days in the late '90s at the University of Maryland.
About Marcus Pinn:
Marcus Pinn is a DJ, producer, and film aficionado with hip-hop roots and strong ties to the underground. His beat project Night Music is available now via Three Dollar Pistol Music, and he’s contributed to recent projects by Zilla Rocca, Spanish Ran, and Stan Ipcus.
About Matty B:
Matt Barrett aka Matty B is a singer/songwriter based in Seacliff, New York who performs guitar-driven, bluesy rock ballads that draw inspiration from The Black Crowes, Grateful Dead, and Otis Redding. He's also known to make guest live appearances with his childhood friend Stan Ipcus on their fan favorite collaboration “Hammer.”<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/159914/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info
