New Paltz Chapter: Pat Lamanna

The New Paltz Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild welcomes you to our
2025-2026 Coffeehouse Series
on Saturday, May 23, 2026.

Our featured performers are
Pat Lamanna and Kevin and Carol Becker

This month’s open mic coffeehouse at the Redeemer church in New Paltz will have a special dimension to it.   In the feature slot, Pat Lamanna and Kevin & Carol Becker will present a tribute to Judy Salerno who passed about a year ago and was a long time HVFG volunteer and stalwart.  They will present some of Judy’s favorite songs, some traditional and others by folk luminaries such as Tom Paxton, Pat Humphries, and Richard Thompson.

Pat Lamanna is a long-time member of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild, and was President of the Friends of Fiddlers Green Chapter when Judy Salerno was Treasurer and booking agent. She is an award-winning singer-songwriter.

Kevin & Carol Becker: Start with deep roots in traditional folk music, add musical versatility, mix in both historical and contemporary themes, all seasoned with a healthy dose of good-natured humor, then sit back and enjoy a performance by Kevin & Carol Becker!
