Rock Tavern Chapter: Jim Pospisil
December 10, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
The Rock Tavern Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild is pleased to be featuring Jim Pospisil on Saturday, December 10, 2022.
Jim Pospisil is a singer songwriter and multi instrumentalist from the Hudson Valley whose songs are marked by well crafted, sometimes quirky lyrics and themes from the personal to the profound. A mix of folk, blues, rock and more, his performances on guitar, mandolin, flute and harmonica can be soft and subtle, or wild and energetic. He blends it all with a wry sense of humor, his goal is to make you laugh, cry, or think. Sometimes all at once. He performs cover songs as well, featuring fresh and creative arrangements.
Jim has just released his fourth album “Sleight Of Hand”, his most varied and ambitious release to date. The songs examine the trials of love, life and loss, and the challenge to rise above it all.
He performs regularly throughout the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas, and runs Posmic Studios, where he records himself and other artists, and is currently working on a new acoustic/ electric release, “By This Time”. He performs solo, as a sideman for other artists, with his trio Sleight Of Hand performing originals and classic rock covers, and traditional Irish music with the band Flash Company. He produces electronic music under the name Feral Science..
Sadly, Lydia Adams Davis recently had a procedure addressing vocal cord paresis which requires greater recovery time than anticipated. Her doctor strongly recommends that she not sing professionally for a while longer. Happily, Jim Pospisil has agreed to substiture as our featured performer on December 10th. We look forward to a lovely evening!
Open mic performances will be available to all. Cost of admission for this event is $7 ($6 for Folk Guild members and seniors). Signup begins at 7 and open mic begins at 7:30. The featured performance is expected to begin at approximately 8:30.
