The better-known performers on the schedule include Greg Garing, whose debut album merges country's heartbreak and loneliness with tape loops and eerie electronics, at 1 30 P.M.; the hard-strumming singer Richie Havens at 3 15 P.M., and the Smithereens, who slip disillusionment and regret into succinct 1960's-flavored rock, at 4 30 P.M. Sunday 11 A.M. to 6 P.M.; admission is free (Pareles).
Others who have recorded at the studio include Don Fleming, Pete Yorn and the Smithereens, as well as Skanatra, the Gefkens, Rocket and Frank Bango.

Bruce Afran, a civil rights lawyer running on the Green Party line; Pat Dinizio, the Reform Party candidate and a member of the rock group the Smithereens; and Dennis Breen, the Independent Party candidate, said the league used unfair criteria, like extensive fund-raising.
