Built in 1918, The Chance Theater has had a long history as a performing arts venue. It was opened as a vaudeville house called the Dutchess Theatre in 1926. It became the Carol Players Playhouse, then the Playhouse Theatre in 1928. Showing vaudeville and films at the time, the theatre introduced silent film in the 1920's. The venue changed ownership many times throughout the 1920's and 1930's. From 1945 to 1970 the building was closed and was used as a storage facility. In 1970 Larry Plover opened the venue as "Sal's last Chance Saloon". Plover turned the old vaudeville theatre into a music venue; welcoming legendary acts such as The Police, The Ramones, Muddy Waters, Pete Seeger and Charles Mingus. Closed again in 1977, Peter Francese re-opened the venue in 1980 under the name "The Chance". In 1994 current owner, Frank Pallett acquired the legendary music venue. Pallett has brought acts such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Ted Nugent and countless other contemporary and classic rock bands to Poughkeepsie, NY.

 Austin, TX-based singer/songwriter, Danny Schmidt has been building an enthusiastic (nearly cult-like) following while simultaneously inspiring the admiration of his fellow artists and critical acclaim from industry professionals. He is the real deal, an authentic timeless troubadour in the tradition of Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Dave Carter, who delivers his craft with a quiet power, a level of complexity, and an underlying humanity that is truly rare in this age of sound bite marketeering. Opening the evening will be a similarly gifted songwriter. Chuck E. Costa's candid and visceral delivery of literate and well-crafted contemporary folk tunes has steadily raised his profile on the national club, coffeehouse and festival circuits.This is one show not to be missed.

The good "Dakta" brings a smile to the face and a tap to the toe of young and old with his sensational blend of rockin' NewFolk, rompin' ragtime, snappy country blues, inspired original songs and wonderous interpretations of many other popular artists' songs . . . all served up with a dash of spicy, sun-drenched Caribbean reggae & calypso. |

with Julie Corbalis
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic | 12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar
12 North Division Street
Peekskill, NY See Map |
 Julie Corbalis sings songs not only of her life, but in a small part, yours, too. The relateability of these songs keeps her fan base coming back again and again. You get the sense when you listen to her that this is "a woman who has lived hard, loved hard, fallen hard and has picked herself up to do it again, regretting nothing." In her first solo effort, "Old Flames and New Names," Jules pours out her heart about past loves and "family stuff" and what results is a soulful collection of songs you'll be nursing your next broken heart to.
Jules says her influences include bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Black Crowes as well as solo artists like Sheryl Crow. She'll be playing originals as well as some pop/rock covers. Join us for another entertaining Singer/Songwriter Sunday.

| Lisa Bigwood traveled an amazing road from backwoods country housewife and mom, splitting firewood, fixing up and living in an old abandoned house, working at a "job" full time, and washing dishes and laundry and more dishes and more laundry... to critically acclaimed songwriter and recording artist. Songs on her first two CDs made her a Kerrville Newfolk, Telluride Troubadour, and Chris Austin Memorial Songwriting finalist, and she has a newly released CD, "Intrepid". OK, she's still hauling firewood. A lot less dishes and laundry, though.
Lisa sees much in the world as if it is new and marvelous and surprising, as, for her, it is. |

Let them know about it!
We depend on musicians and venues to keep this calender current. It costs them
nothing to advertise here, so tell them you were looking for them
on HVmusic.com. Thanks.
Not your typical Open Mic! Thursdays the Flash Band starts with great groove tunes then opens the mic to those who've signed up at Bridgewaters. We get seasoned players as well as emerging artists arriving solo, as a duo, or with a band. Good atmosphere, good music, good food, good people, good times and a good place to network and DANCE!
Led by an incredible vocalist and a powerhouse drummer, this band performs everything from Swing to classic Rock with impeccable style. 
I'VE HEARD THURSDAY'S ARE THE NEW FRIDAY'S IN CERTAIN CIRCLES. NEED PROOF? CHECK OUT O'CONNERS IN MT. KISCO ON THURSDAY NIGHTS. IT RAWKS! IRISH STYLE, LAD!
"The "stage" is a big, comfortable rug in the middle of the room with chairs arranged in a circle. The audience is seated around the outside and is never more than a few feet from the musicians. This format provides the intimacy of a living room and allows the musicians to interact in ways that aren't possible in the traditional coffeehouse format."
for Dancers & Music Lovers of all Ages!

It's that time again!
