When: Wednesday, February 8 and Saturday, February 18 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Cost: No Cover!
Clearly, “sexy” is a state of mind, and “sexy” has a sound: a mellow, yet insistent beat that ebbs and flows dynamically, smooth runs on the bass that interlock seamlessly with a pearly guitar tone and the dulcet sound of electric piano, soulful singing with old-school falsetto. Think Marvin Gaye, Prince, Al Green, with some Sly on the side just for kicks.

The Emerson is Garnering Attention as a Premier Hudson Valley Music Venue with the Spotlight on Song Series
- What: Spotlight on Song Featuring Shana Falana, Doug Yoel and Paul McMahon
- Where: The Phoenix/Great Room at the Emerson
- When: Thursday, January 19 at 8:00 p.m.
- Cost: $5 donation suggested
Dream pop artist SHANA FALANA combines layered sonic and harmonic textures with projected visual imagery to move and mesmerize her audience. “Sings Falana on the title track with her unbending honesty – ‘In the light it’s gonna be scary. In the light you’re going to see everything.’” Mixed by Gareth Jones (Grizzly Bear, Mogwai, Interpol) and produced by Kevin McMahon (Swans, Titus, Andronicus, French Kicks), In the Light was born with glimmers of dreamy pop among deep layers of sonic and harmonic textures. Legendary players such as cellist Jane Scarpantoni (Lou Reed, Kristen Hirsch, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) play on the record. Shana accomplishes her mission with the tribal rant of drummer Michael Amari and a series of original film projections. The combination of Shana’s sound and visual storyboard fuse together to form something larger than the elements that make it up. “It’s 2011 and people want to be stimulated. I think people are starving,” says Shana.
