Alchemy of Woodstock
297 Tinker Street
Woodstock, NY   See Map
Alchemy is Woodstock's newest music venue/community gathering space. It's a beautiful living room-like space offering a live, intimate setting for acoustic music with an excellent sound system and lights. Since Alchemy opened this past spring, a host of regional and national performers have graced its stage, but Alchemy also holds space for emerging and local artists, too. All in all, it's an incredible gathering place for the community where creative workshops can take place and where you can find inspiring literature on its bookshelves and art on its walls. Alchemy is struggling now to keep its doors open, and it seems fitting that the community come together to keep Alchemy from shuttering its doors. If you haven't been to Alchemy yet, make it a point to go, and bring your appetite and a couple of friends, too. You will not be sorry. Stay tuned for more info on this rent party; it's sure to be amazing!!

Folk singer Chris Wilhelm has a voice that rings with a certain vulnerable sense of conviction. And indeed, this Boston-based singer/songwriter has seen a lot during his 16-year music career: In between his relocations from Hudson, New York to Albany and now to Boston, he has spent time busking for change in subway stations, singing open-mic nights in coffee shops, and altogether honing his delicate craft. His current songs reach a rare level of emotional urgency, steeped in a palpable sense of hope and understanding.

Comedic, Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
Christine Lavin's smart and funny take on contemporary life and foible make for a one-of-a-kind concert. As a songwriter, she brings the shrewd insight & wit of a humor columnist together with a novelist's eye for evocative details. While the title of her 19th solo album may sound like a disclaimer ~ I Don't Make This Stuff Up... I Just Make It Rhyme ~ it is clear she's an expert on our days and our ways.

After a thirteen-year hiatus to 1) be dads, and 2) take a nap, BUSKIN & BATTEAU have just put the finishing touches on their long-anticipated new CD and are back on the road again! In their new album and in their performances, they continue to offer their audiences "an irresistible amalgam of melodic, sensual pop, folkie grit and killer wit." -Washington Post. "...Versatile, sophisticated...by turns acerbic, funny and plaintive. Buskin and Batteau are breathing new life into the genre of the folk-pop singer/songwriter." - The New York Times

I sing. I write songs. I play guitar. I'm a native New Yorker. I established myself as singer, songwriter and guitarist for Brooklyn's indie rockers, The Nerve! over it's 10 year career. I am now exploring the uncharted territory of a new solo career. I'm totally immersing myself in the New York scene, singing and playing just an acoustic guitar and harmonica almost every night of the week at various bars, cafes and cabarets all over town and out of town. You can also catch me on any given day busking underground in the New York City subway system. In November 2007 I received an artist grant from the Broken Wing Foundation.
