Rock Tavern Chapter: The Agricola Family Band
February 10 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Catherine and Mike Agricola connected over their love and interest in music during their courtship. They wed in 2012 and welcomed their first child Maria in 2016 and their son Charles in 2023. Whether it was in their studio apartment or in their family home, music has filled the airwaves.
Catherine and Mike have played together at holiday parties, memorial services, weddings, family events, and many open mics at one of their favorite spots at High Falls Café. Maria debuted her performing at age 3 when she toddled on stage at open mic and has been joining her parents ever since. She enjoys singing and drumming. Charles joined the family band at age 3 months kicking his feet on stage in his carrier.
Catherine, originally from Connecticut, began studying violin at age 4 with the Suzuki method. She has performed in many orchestras and chamber ensembles having traveled to various parts of the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Catherine currently works as a primary care doctor in her own practice with offices in Newburgh and Kingston.
Mike began noodling on his guitar during his teenage years in his bedroom on Long Island and the obsession has never ended. He is self-taught in both guitar and keyboards. He has played in several rock and blues bands in New York and is an avid conversationalist about all things music. Mike is a master of home and child care, works for the family medical practice, and also has pursuits in personal training and fitness.
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.
