CRUMBS Cafe was an Upstate New York radio show from January 2007 to September 2015 where local musicians stopped by the CRUMBS Cafe Studio for an interview and a couple of songs. Often we got the chance to record rare, acoustic versions of your favorite local songs. These weekly shows gave musicians the outlet to chat a bit about them, what their songs are all about, or even the local music scene in general. These episodes were also heard on Exit 97.7 WEXT every Friday night and blogged about on the Times Union website. Mike Guzzo, Billy Booker, Andy Gregory, and Rich Krissel.

The Kite Room - Episode 050 [Encore Episode]

Recorded 05 Nov 2008: CRUMBS Cafe Turns the Big 5-0. The original plan was to have Ben Karis-Nix stop by for an episode with just him. He surprised us that night by bringing along Mike Matta from The Sketchy Indians and Amanda Rogers hence forming The Kite Room. This was the first time the band performed under that name and what a great collaboration it was. They were able to play three acoustic versions of some previously released songs with some new life. The talent in this band is striking, poetic, and captures the moment.Amanda Rogers, fresh from her latest European tour and her most recent internationally anticipated record release, Heartwood, will be playing old and new songs featured on MTV shows such as The Real World and The Hills. Ben Karis-Nix, with songs featured on television shows such as the CWs One Tree Hill, will be playing tracks from his new solo EP, We Are Giants Now (Best Electro-Pop - Metroland, Albany, NY, 2008). This new release immerses the listener in a symphony of subtle synth patches and sampled beats that coexist with Bens guitar and pliant, sometimes plaintive vocals. Mike Matta is a member of The Sketchy Indians who are a songwriting collective that are as poetic and sincere as they are playfully ridiculous.This tour reunites former members of the indie-rock giants Jupiter Sunrise, known for their stellar, energetic live shows and year-round tours in their veg-oil-powered RV. After these powerful songwriters perform, dont leave too soon, because the night is not over until these 3 indie all-stars unite onstage to unleash mayhem as a Voltron-like supergroup. These shows promise to turn every new listener into a full-fledged fan and believer in the power of the indie artist.
