Becoming Human ~ Songs of observation, realization & transformation
Vocalist/guitarist/percussionist Marji Zintz fronts Becoming Human, a newly formed trio (and sometimes quartet), which performs music composed by guitarist Jim Kunkel and bassist Mickey Kopchak. They explore and inhabit many genres across the musical spectrum, from folk to jazz, modal to avant-garde, spiritual to classical to Brazilian. They honor the space and each other’s unique and evolving “voice,” creating and holding a fertile ground for conversation, interplay, improvisation, and emotion.

Marji brings a long and diverse performance resume, working in myriad settings since the 1970s as a vocalist and guitarist. She has performed in voice-double bass duets with such notable players as Mike Richmond, Jay Anderson, Josef Pelletier, and Vin Warner. She also worked in a progressive jazz-based ensemble that included Erik Lawrence on reeds and Jim Kunkel on guitar, often using her voice as one of the horns. She has worked in collaboration with improvisational vocalists Victoria Christgau and Shula Ruth Weinstein in a mostly a capella recording and performance project called Sister Sound, and has arranged, recorded, and performed with many other innovative musical projects over the years as well as performing extensively as a soloist. She teaches guitar and coaches voice and harmony in the Hudson Valley.

One of the coziest hangs on a Saturday afternoon in the area! Check out Arrowood, enjoy their delectable spirits and some live music!
Arrowood is a farm brewery, distillery, and event destination in the beautiful Hudson Valley. They brew their beer with ingredients sourced from small, local New York farms. They craft their spirits with grains grown by farmers up the road. They serve locally-inspired comfort foods that invite visitors to connect with the place they call home.
They believe local is better because it means their ingredients don’t travel very far. This means a smaller carbon footprint and better tasting beer, spirits and food. Marji on the Interweb
