Bearsville Theater in Woodstock is being featured in "Raise The Stage", a new documentary series celebrating independent music venues, presented by Jai Alai IPA in partnership with NIVA (National Independent Venue Association).

In The Living Thread Orchestra, Marshall Wolfe presents a unified vision of the body—not as disconnected parts, but as a living system with coherence, rhythm, and return. He describes the human being as a field of energy, a harmony, a “galaxy,” connected by a single thread—an organizing force that links organs, mind, and spirit into one functioning whole. His work explores the idea that healing is not only chemical or mechanical, but also a restoration of balance, alignment, and internal order.

1-800-ON-HER-OWN is a cinematic musical road trip through the life of feminist singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, founder of the first “woman-run non corporate queer-happy” record label Righteous Babe Records.

Her daily challenges resonate as we reveal both an enduring, inspiring musical icon and a very relatable contemporary “everywoman” with her own epic fails and hard-won victories.

Coming to the Orpheum theater in Saugerties on Dec 30. The only NY showing this month.

I started HVmusic over 20 years ago to help promote the talented musicians in the Hudson Valley. Now I am trying to do the same for our amazing local artists and craftspeople. If you know some great artists and craft makers in the Hudson Valley region who could use some extra publicity, ask them to join HVcrafts.com. Just like HVmusic, HVcrafts is free to join and use.

Thanks for helping to spread the word about The Art and Crafts of the Hudson Valley.
