Sunday, September 30: The New York City jazz guitarist Ben Monder was already the owner of a humming 30-plus-year career as leader and sideman when he was tapped by David Bowie to be one of the featured voices in the ensemble that made Bowie’s arrestingly strange final album, Blackstar.

Friday, September 28: “Doors & More” band Feast of Friends joins forces with the long-running New Paltz-born “Dead & More” Deadbeats for a night of experimental nostalgia and some of the most classic and transgressive rock ever committed to tape.
