SUMMARY:“Beyond A Simple Folk Song” Concert 2023
DESCRIPTION:“Beyond A Simple Folk Song” is a concert which challenges folk artists to go beyond what they normally do and stretch their art beyond their comfort zone.  For this concert\, please join our headline act\, Betty and the Baby Boomers\, for a “trip” down memory lane as they wander through “their generation” making periodic stops with signature tunes from a great musical era. \nThe Stissing Center\, July 30\, 2023 at 2pm\, 2950 Church St\, Pine Plains\, NY 12567\nTickets are available on line at the website – www.thestissingcenter.org\n$15 in advance\, $20 at the door \n\nBetty and the Baby Boomers\n”Sounds like either a yuppie- oriented pop group or an outfit starring Betty with some sort of backup band. As it happens\, neither is anything remotely like the reality. Despite having given her name to the proceedings\, Betty Boomer is just one of the equal partners in a likable and eminently folk-oriented [quintet] … I enjoyed the group very much.” \n                                    Bob Sherman\, host of “Woody’s Children” –\nWQXR and WFUV\, New York\, NY \nWhen Betty Boomer\, Jean Valla McAvoy\, Paul Rubeo\, and Steve Stanne began singing together more than 35 years ago\, the name made sense—a play on Betty’s name and the fact that they all are children of the baby boom era. If they’ve had second thoughts\, it’s too late to change now. “Betty and the Baby Boomers” appears on the covers of the band’s five CDs\, and the name is known to folk music fans from the mountains of Connemara in Ireland to the Catskills overlooking New York’s Hudson Valley\, their home base. \nThe American folk genre covers many styles.  In addition to original songs from Jean\, the Boomers draw on sources including traditional tunes\, Americana roots music\, contemporary artists like Greg Brown\, Bruce Springsteen\, and Dougie MacClean\, and classic “folksingers” like Woody Guthrie\, Pete Seeger\, and Phil Ochs.  Whatever the source\, each song is “Boomerized” – set in distinctive arrangements with three and four-part harmonies. The singers’ voices differ in range and color; they combine in a unique and resonant blend that is the Boomers’ signature. Their vocals are coupled to impressive instrumental work on guitars\, Dobro\, bass\, bodhran\, and kazoo\, or sometimes a capella selections. \nThe group’s talents have led to frequent performances in venues such as the Eighth Step in New York’s Capital region\, the Towne Crier in Beacon\, and at Phil Ochs Song Night concerts in rooms ranging from New York City’s Village Gate to the Nameless Coffeehouse in Cambridge\, Mass. The group is regularly booked along with the likes of the Chieftains\, Paul Brady\, and Christy Moore to perform during the Clifden Community Arts Festival in County Galway\, Ireland; 2022 marked the Boomers’ 17th engagement at this festival\, which has been running for forty-five years. \n\nHVFG Opening Act:\nThe Coffeehouse – A Creative Community \nJoin Kevin Becker\, Phil Miller\, Neil Okeson and Jim Pospisil as they take you on a collaborative journey in song\, exploring past and present-day coffeehouse communities.

SUMMARY:Twilight Music in the Parks 2023 – Vito Petroccitto
DESCRIPTION:Vito Petroccitto is magic. And we’re not just talking about the way he deftly casts alternating spells on his audiences\, moving them either to awe\, tears\, full-out belly laughs\, or all three at once. Armed with his gritty\, dirty\, swampy telecaster guitar\, or his beautiful Taylor acoustic\, his crazy-good vocals\, and more than a touch of genius\, Vito has somehow figured out how to do the work of ten men. If he’s not performing all over the Hudson Valley with “Four Guys in Disguise” (the band he co-founded in 1989\, voted “Best of the Hudson Valley” for years running)\, he’s out gigging with his newest brainchild\, “Little Rock” a swampy blues and funk\, Americana band.  \nThink Little Feat meets John Fogerty meets the Grateful Dead. \n\nAbout Twilight Music in the Parks\nCome enjoy free live music from the Hudson Valley Folk Guild at the Walkway Over the Hudson this summer!\n\nOnce again\, The Hudson Valley Folk Guild will be providing the New York State Office of Parks with outdoor music on Thursday evenings for “Twilight Music in the Parks”.

SUMMARY:Twilight Music in the Parks 2023 – Piedmont Blūz
DESCRIPTION:The Piedmont Blūz Acoustic Duo\, comprised of Valerie and Benedict Turner\, are ambassadors of Country Blues music and the Piedmont style of fingerpicking. Their mission is to help bring awareness to this unique aspect of African-American culture\, and to the contributions of early blues artists\, through performing and teaching. \nThey have been entertaining audiences both domestically and abroad and are much loved wherever they go. As 2018 inductees into the New York Blues Hall of Fame\, this husband-and-wife duo feel that “there are stories to tell\, people to remember\, and things that must be said” so\, in addition to tickling your ears with delightful music\, they weave a bit of history into the presentation of each song. \nA Piedmont Blūz concert isn’t just music – it’s an experience as they transport you back to the 1920s and 1930s\, the hey-day of acoustic Country Blues music. In addition to performing songs from that time-frame\, they introduce each piece with an interesting anecdote about either the composer\, the time period\, or the song itself. \n\nAbout Twilight Music in the Parks\nCome enjoy free live music from the Hudson Valley Folk Guild at the Walkway Over the Hudson this summer!\n\nOnce again\, The Hudson Valley Folk Guild will be providing the New York State Office of Parks with outdoor music on Thursday evenings for “Twilight Music in the Parks”.
