Peaches & Crime

Peaches & Crime is an all original band out of Binghamton NY specializing in vintage entertainment: Cabaret, Vaudeville, and Burlesque.

The modern audience hungers for spectacle, and Peaches & Crime has come to sate that hunger. Bands are a dime a dozen, musicians three for a penny; the public clamors for performers that enthrall the senses and capture the imagination. For what a ticket or a record costs, people want an experience that only a total performance can deliver. The vaudeville escapades of Peaches & Crime accomplish precisely that by marrying novel original music to inimitable wit and vim.

With Ross on the drums, Gregory Gregorivich Lunin on Bass, Mikey the Fist tickling the ivories and Vitor Vardot on guitar, they build a strong musical foundation upon which the show is built. When not playing the clarinet or other incidental percussion, Young Catherine and Zebby C bring theatricality front and center center with their ring leader, Angie Diamond. Finally, Danny Black acts as Master of Ceremonies with his comic foil, the Professor, ensuring that there is never a dull moment in this diverse cabaret act! On stage, this act never passes up an opportunity for dramatic flourish, comic antics, or sophisticated charm. From murder ballads to torch songs, calypso tunes to drinking songs, no style is unfamiliar to these eclectic entertainers. Colorful costumes, diverse instrumentation and flashy dances make any Peaches & Crime show well worth the cost of admission. Each individuals talents are shown to their finest, and together they wow even the most jaded dance-hall connoisseur.

Katie Haverly

Katie Haverly is a singer-songwriter “alt-rock polymath” who creates a joyous mesh of soulful pop, jazz, folk, and rock in her passionate live performances. Her music pierces the veil between 1960s and 70s Laurel Canyon ingenuity and modern-day indie magic, twisting and turning between Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell, and The War on Drugs in equal measure. After living in such diverse locales as Colorado, Chicago, North Carolina, Albany, Tucson, and now Rochester, Katie's music displays a wealth of passion, living and maturity. Her songs map the human heart with an understated, but undeniable intensity topped with Katie's languid, yet fierce vocal ability and an impressive lyrical facility. The listener is immediately drawn in, intrigued by what she has to say:

There are singers, and then there are singers - and Katie Haverly's one of the latter, with one of those spectacularly effortless-sounding voices that reaches all over the scale and explores all manner of sound without ever coming across as forced or strident or technically perfect for technical perfection's sake. You hear the human being when she sings, not the studio or room or microphone that makes her sound so good, as the warmth and intimacy of her voice sucks you into the place where melody is pure and singing is an expression of a soul unbound. - Metroland.

Katie has performed solo and with her previous bands The Aviary and Copper & Congress for the last 20 years, with her most recent album Triangulating Line (2023) garnering international praise:

Soul meets indie pop...catchy melodies, carried by cosmopolitan & world-breaking lyrics, ensnared by soulful and just-right instrumentation and production. — Yagaloo 

Katie has had the honor to share the stage with artists such as Macy Gray, Loudon Wainwright III, Chris Isaak, Jake Shimabukuro, Karla Bonoff and others, and has released
