Performing for more than 18 years, Long Island's Cathy Kreger has a loyal fan base throughout the Northeast. Her musical style is a unique combination of adult contemporary and old blues with an alternative folk flair. Her acoustic guitar prowess has been admired and critically acclaimed, and her voice has been characterized as "a warm, rich emotional mirror of her soul." She has opened for and shared the stage with Bonnie Raitt, David Bromberg, and Taj Majal, among other greats.

Marci Geller, also a Long Island native, will open the show. Geller tours nationally and has performed on "Live! With Regis," "CNN Worldbeat," and "Good Day New York." Her piano-based songs are an intimate peek into her musical diary, which has been called "poetry in motion."

Kreger and Geller will share a stage for the first time in the ten-plus years they have been friends. The two songstresses will explore a range of emotions and experiences through music, offering an eclectic night for all who enjoy contemporary music. The evening will conclude with the two women joining together on stage with Kreger's band, "What it Iz," for a powerful finale to the concert.

Tickets cost $15 each and can be purchased in advance at www.ticketweb.com, or at the door on the evening of the performance.

Call 631 344-3846 for more information. The Laboratory is located on William Floyd Parkway (County Road 46), one-and-a-half miles north of Exit 68 of the Long Island Expressway.
