 Marc Black is one of the best bards to come out of the Hudson Valley. And, he's had quite a year. His Pictures Of The Highway CD was #34 for the year on the Folk DJ Chart; and he was named Folk Artist of the Year on ABC Radio's Fame Games. He's been deeply involved in the fight against hydro-fracking with his anthem of resistance...No Fracking Way. It's been played at rallies as far away as Ireland and Australia. Marc's I Love You Rachel Maddow music video has been viewed more than 41,000 times(!); and Sometime A Spark (an ode to the Tunisian fruit peddler who's act of resistance started a worldwide revolution) has received immediate notice and airplay in Europe and Tunisia. It will be officially released later this summer. Marc Black's band features veterans of the Joe Cocker, Steve Winwood and the Blues Magoos Bands. Happy Traum recently wrote about Marc's most recent CD, "Deep grooves, excellent playing, top notch guitar and vocals...Marc's songs are timeless."

"Art, poetry and music inspire hope. Hope then
inspires the creation of art in turn. Life and nature, and humanity with it, are intertwined with this notion. For art, poetry & music are the products of love. And it's all around us.
We share the music we create only to bring people
closer to us and closer to each other. We're all in
this together so we may as well open an ear and hear where we're all coming from." - Daniel
"Whether Im playing for people or with people, music is about sharing. Especially, though, when I'm experimenting with a song, or even developing one, with other people. Its very fulfilling to experientially share music with others that way. The connection with people that I've found in music I haven't found with anything else. For me, playing music with other people is an elemental form of being, but, its also an expansive form of being. Its about really opening up and connecting with whoever I'm playing music with." -Elisabeth |

Bill Kelly, aka "Mr. Americana", has an infectious charm and charisma on stage. On his CD, "Bread on the Waters", songs like "Seraphima" have been applauded by critics. But our favorite has to be "A Bottle of Wine Don't Last Too Long 'Round Here." Could be our theme song.
Melissa has performed at several of our songwriter showcases, including our 500th Performance event. She has a unique and beautiful voice, and her songwriting is fresh and original.

 Red Dirt Road members Susy Marker, Pat Walker, Doug Mathewson and Bill McCasland perform a variety of Americana tunes in the bluegrass/country/red dirt/western swing/gospel genres, featuring original material by songwriters Doug Mathewson and Susy Marker. Red Dirt Road was formed shortly after the members met in a local song swap. They found they had similar musical tastes and loved singing together. Soon songs took on arrangements, the group started singing in local venues until they became the good-time string band with a great sound that people enjoy so much today! Bob Stump & The Blue Mountain Band, whose sound has been described as a missing link between Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Bill Monroe, is committed to making great music with traditional instruments. Featuring the warm vocals and presence of Bob Stump, they deliver a diverse song selection, including bluegrass, country blues, folk, western swing, country standards, instrumentals and original music.
