SUMMARY:Twilight Music in the Parks 2024: Phil Miller
DESCRIPTION:Phil is substituting for our original performer\, Bob Stanhope. \nPhil Miller\, singer/songwriter likes the phrase “Song Smith\,” forging catchy\, toe-tapping melodies paired with vivid imagery.   His style is a healthy blend of contemporary acoustic\, folk\, country\, a hint of jazz\, a dash of the blues and a simmered slowly with the influence from pop and rock of the 70’s and 80’s.  Like a travel agent for the ears and soul\, his songs try to bring you into familiar places or safely travel to destinations of the heart. \nPhil often plays in a duo with Betty Altman\, but today’s show is a special solo appearance. \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”. Performances are mostly on Thursday evenings from 6pm – 7pm at the Walkway Ulster Visitor Center (Highland). \nConcerts are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:“Beyond A Simple Folk Song” Concert 2024
DESCRIPTION:“Beyond a Simple Folk Song” was conceived in 2009 to be an annual concert of music that challenges acoustic singer/songwriters and musicians to venture out of their comfort zones and stretch their craft beyond the constructs and scope of a song. \nFor this year’s concert\, join us for our headline act with the Piedmont Blūz Acoustic Duo\, comprised of the Country Blues duo Valerie and Benedict Turner. Our opening act features Kurt Henry & Cheryl Lambert\, followed by a chamber piece composed by Kevin Becker and performed by Melissa Holland and Linda Bresnahan. Our MC for the afternoon is Steve Allen. \nThe Stissing Center\,\nJuly 28\, 2024\, 2pm-4pm\n2950 Church St\, Pine Plains\, NY 12567\nGeneral admission tickets are available on line at the website – www.thestissingcenter.org\n$20 in advance\, $25 at the door. \n\nPiedmont Blūz Acoustic Duo\nThe 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 \n\nHVFG Opening Acts:\nKurt Henry and Cheryl Lambert\nKurt Henry and Cheryl Lambert\, a dynamic guitar/harmonica duo\, always surprise and delight people with the diversity of their repertoire\, both covers and originals. Kurt’s popularity as a guitarist is due in part to the range of styles he displays\, while the duet taken as a whole–guitar\, harmonica\, percussion and harmony vocals–seems like more than two busy musicians\, making for a compelling performance.\nPlanned set list: \n“Driving Wheel” by David Wiffen: In 1967 I bought my first high end flattop guitar and met Stephen J. Altman\, called “Pete\,” who managed Israel G. Young’s The Folklore Center\, which was New York City’s Mecca for folk music and expert repair by Ed Diehl. Pete taught me fingerpicking and different tunings. \n“Shadowbride”: Pete also introduced me to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. He wrote the melody to Tolkien’s poem of the same name. He taught me travis picking and gave me fingerpicks that I mostly lost or stepped on. This has been a real aid to me in getting a softer finger pick style. All that follow “Shadowbride” are original. \n“The Hammer and the Cross”: In 1971 I discovered William Morris\, considered by many to be a 19th C. renaissance man. I became a life member of the William Morris Society and began amassing a library devoted to that great man. Morris\, among other things\, created the fantasy novel. “The Hammer and the Cross” is a song about medieval genocide.  It uses the symbols of oak and pine to represent the suffering of old (oak) and young (pine). \n“The Grain in the Whiskey”: Here is a simple folksong about love and loss—just because. (Maybe I’ll dedicate it to Ian and Sylvia\, who exemplified urban folk music.) \n“On a Summertide” is an homage for the Byrds for whom I opened for the first time in 1969 or 1970. This was the roster that featured country-rock guitarist\, Clarence White\, who swept me away! Clarence exemplified using guitar amps to bring modern\, grittier guitar tones to country music. Wow! It’s also an homage to the sixties\, a time I am glad to have experienced with its unique music. \nThe Julia songs: The Julia songs (“Julia in Running Shoes”  “Julia the Compleat Angler” (sic.)) are beyond a simple song in their playfulness around the subject of—dare I say it—S-E-X!\, all well enough disguised. \n“Over the Mountain” is a short suite that shows many of the techniques both Cheryl and I have worked on separately and together. Cheryl has grown immensely as a harmonica player. We both play harmonicas and enjoy working out harmonica parts (and vocal harmonies) together. During the covid epidemic we—together—used Facebook to bring live music to people’s living rooms in safety. We donated CD sales to our local food pantry. We still perform our Nine Mile Swamp shows to people all over the country and around the globe. \n———————————————— \n“Folk Themes and Variations”\nComposed by Kevin F. Becker\nKevin Becker has composed a chamber piece entitled\, “Folk Themes and Variations”\, which is a unique blending of folk and classical music. Playing the piece will be two very fine musicians: Melissa Holland on flute\, accompanied by Linda Bresnahan on piano. \nA three movement piece for flute and piano that is based on the folk songs “Yankee Doodle” and “Shenandoah.”  There is also a modern technique\, an atonal tone row\, that gets integrated in each of the movements periodically throughout the piece. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n     \n\n\n\n1st movement – classic theme & variations with snippets of “Yankee Doodle” and instances of the 12-tone row integrated within a tonal base.\n2nd Movement – a theme and variations based on the folk song\, “Shenandoah”\n\nVariation 1 – Counterpoint melody to “Shenandoah”\nVariation 2 – Melodic & harmonic changes\nVariation 3 – Minor\, representing the difficulties inherent in a mixed marriage of the day (w a brief appearance of the tone row to prepare for the final variation)\nVariation 4 – “Grande”\n\n\n3rd movement – Rondo\n\n    A – Main theme is the first 8 notes of the 12-tone row but completed as a tonal tune\n    B – “Yankee Doodle” in Minor mode\n    A – Main theme\n    C – “Shenandoah” tune in the flute with a ragtime piano accompaniment\n    A – Main theme\, that ends with material from the 1st movement.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Stissing Center\nThis year marks the second year the venue for our concert is The Stissing Center. In rural and historic Pine Plains\, it is easily reachable via main routes (Taconic State Parkway\, 44\, 82\, 199)\, making it an ideal destination for a scenic Sunday afternoon drive. Located in a brick building dating back to 1915\, The Stissing Center features a main concert hall that is a beautiful\, rustic-chic performance space with a glass entryway. The Center is air conditioned and ADA-accessible. \nPlease note that the parking lot is closed this year\, but on the street parking is free\, plentiful\, and convenient.  In addition\, there will be a “drop off” area directly in front of the entrance to the theater for those who need it.  There will also be two volunteers to assist with parking and pointing people to the municipal parking area directly behind the Millbrook Bank at the corner of Rte 199 and Rte 82.. \nhttps://www.thestissingcenter.org/
