Thank You for Helping Tom and Annie PachecoApril 28, 2019
UPDATE April 28: The GoFundMe page reached it’s target of $15,000. Thanks so much to all who contributed.
================================
Anyone who has had the inspiring, touching and universally human pleasure of listening to Tom Pacheco's music, and knowing the man himself, would be hard-pressed to describe those experiences any other way. Even though his career was born on 1960s Bleeker St., was marked on the calendar as recently as this past December, and is one that's traversed locations as far-flung as Norway, England, Scotland, Wales, and uh... Rosendale, we can happily and proudly claim him as OURS, a community member, friend, and beloved national and international treasure. Tom has written, collaborated, and performed with such luminous partners as Pete Seeger, The Band (Jubilation, Woodstock Winter) Steinar Albrigtsen, Tom Kimmel and Jay Unger...Richie Havens, Tom Russell, Jefferson Starship, and many others have had success with his songs.
New Documentary In the Works About Hudson Valley MusicSeptember 2, 2018
Musicmachine Magazine Archives presents a New Documentary
The 1980s
When live music ruled the Hudson Valley
The 1980s was the decade of Musicmachine Magazine. More bands, more clubs, more music almost everywhere.
Musicmachine produced radio shows, cable tv shows and many special events. 2019 is the 40th anniversary of the
first edition of Musicmachine. I have started a documentary on this amazing period in regional music and I am
looking for video of musicians in this decade. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

What is Net Neutrality and Why Should You Care?August 8, 2018
UPDATE August 8, 2018 — Last night I participated in a call with other local businesses, and our congressman John Faso. All the businesses on the call explained how repealing Net Neutrality could affect us and our customers. The call was cordial and the congressman asked good questions. However he would not commit to vote for the CRA. More pressure is needed from more local business people. Please step forward to contact the congressman and express your opinions on Net Neutrality and how repealing it could affect your business.

Horton’s Holiday Hayride at the ColonyDecember 8, 2017
Tonight, Colony Woodstock continues their mind blowing run of incredibly amazingly great musical events, with what I’m calling the musical event of the year! Not content to rest on their laurels after last month’s fantastic Robert Gordon show, and this week’s Joni Mitchell tribute, Larry and Teresa Campbell concert, and the immortal Darlene Love, they’re following all that with a pretty unheard of bill of four acts, any of whom could headline alone, all together on the same night!!!!
Billed as Horton’s Holiday Hayride w/ the Reverend Horton Heat and Junior Brown, featuring The Blasters and Big Sandy, tonight’s extravaganza is, I believe, an early start, at 7pm, with doors at 6, so get out there early cause you don’t wanna miss a beat of any of these artists!
