Hudson River School of Folk Music
with The 3 Rix, Rich Bala, Rick Nestler, Rik Palieri
Folk/Traditional, Acoustic, and Country
Dutch Arms Chapel
John St
Saugerties, NY   See Map
Just as there is a “Hudson River School of Painting”, whose artists like Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and Jasper Cropsey sought to capture and preserve an idyllic view of the Hudson River Valley, so too is there a lesser known, unofficial “Hudson River School of Folk Music”, among which Rich Bala, Rick Nestler, and Rik Palieri can be counted as some of its “students”. Like those painters who created sweeping vistas of Catskill Mountain landscapes and majestic views of Hudson River scenes, they too are creating an image with lyrics and melodies of the lives and stories of the people who dwelled and settled in this region long ago.

Together, “The Three Rix” will present a sampling of songs from various periods in the area’s lengthy and distinct history, from the earliest times to the present, and will have you singing along and tapping your feet.

Pawling, NY   See Map
This was such a great combination last fall, we wanted to give you another opportuntity to see this great show! 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.
