SUMMARY:Poughkeepsie Chapter: Tim Robinson
DESCRIPTION:The Poughkeepsie Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild\nwill host our monthly coffeehouse on\nSaturday\, March 15\, 2025\nat the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Poughkeepsie\, N.Y.\nThis month we are proud to be featuring Tim Robinson.\n  \nTim Robinson is a songwriter from Croton on Hudson\, NY. He got his start among the songwriters of the “Fast Folk” era in NYC when he met Jack Hardy in the early 1990’s. Through Jack\, he fell in with Suzanne Vega\, Frank Tedesso\, Richard Julian\, Bob Hillman\, and others. It was a cauldron of incredible\, vital songwriting. Tim has four full albums to his credit since those days. His first Recording\, “Money in the Woods” was produced with the help of Suzanne Vega\, who sings backing vocals on several songs and refers to Tim as one of her favorite working songwriters. That recording was nominated for the New Pantheon award and celebrated with 4 stars by Amanda Petrusich\, now famous for her role as staff music writer at The New Yorker magazine.\nCurrently\, Tim is still writing and recording music and looks to release an album of new songs\, “The Midnight Bird”\, as soon as possible. Last year (after taking a pass on songwriting competitions for the past twenty years) Tim was accepted as a New Folk finalist at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. That said\, the dates of the festival conflicted with his eldest son’s college graduation\, so… he had to say\, thank you\, but\, no. A man needs priorities. It’s funny to be “New” at age 61.\nTim is now looking to get back out there and have his hundreds unique of songs heard again by new ears. He thanks you all for coming out to listen and getting that process started.\n  \n\nOPEN MIC\n \nOpen mic performances will be available for all.\nSignup begins at 6:30 and open mic begins at 7:00.\nThe featured performance is expected to begin at approximately 8:00. \nCost of admission for this event is $7 ($6 for Folk Guild members and seniors). \nQuestions? Contact the President of the Poughkeepsie Chapter\, John Hamilton\, at birdman566@aol.com.

SUMMARY:Poughkeepsie Chapter: Scott Lichtenstein
DESCRIPTION:The Poughkeepsie Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild\nwill host our monthly coffeehouse on\nSaturday\, December 21\, 2024\nat the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Poughkeepsie\, N.Y.\nThis month we are proud to be featuring Scott Lichtenstein.\n  \nScott Lichtenstein has always been extremely passionate about music. He gained musical knowledge from both of his parents who were both musically talented. His father played piano and guitar and his mother also played piano and was professionally trained as a vocalist.  Music was a huge part of the family. Throughout elementary school\, Scott would sing in chorus and learn to play trombone. His first solo experience was when he was in 5th grade where he was given the opportunity to perform in a talent show where he sang Hound Dog by Elvis Presley. \nHe continued his musical experiences singing in chorus in high school.  He performed in a show called Ossining Live and sang Somebody to Love by Queen. After doing chorus in his freshman year of high school\, he had many more opportunities to sing in a music class called Gimme the Mic. His music teacher\, Ms. Kafer recognized his talent and gave him the opportunity to have his own concert. He sang with his chorus group at the town tree lighting\, high school graduation and performed as a soloist at  the Village Fair. \nAfter high school he moved to Florida where he continued his musical experiences in college and joined Voices of Valencia.  A few years later\, he moved back to the Hudson Valley area and has had many opportunities to sing at  Open Mic engagements at various locations including Paula’s Café\, The Adriance Memorial Library\, and the Unitarian Fellowship Church. He had been looking around the area for more singing opportunities for adults that was inclusive and found the Mid-Hudson IBM Chorus which he is a current member. This group has increased his musical knowledge and repertoire and has given him the spark in his life and he feels that he has accomplished this goal. Last spring\, he was selected to do a solo of Giants in the Sky from the Broadway musical Into the Woods.  The accompanist chose this song for him because she felt he could express himself and show his singing skills. Singing makes him calm and he loves performing on stage. \n  \n\nOPEN MIC\n \nOpen mic performances will be available for all.\nSignup begins at 6:30 and open mic begins at 7:00.\nThe featured performance is expected to begin at approximately 8:00. \nCost of admission for this event is $7 ($6 for Folk Guild members and seniors). \nQuestions?
