SUMMARY:Twilight Music in the Parks 2026: Betty and the Baby Boomers
DESCRIPTION:Based in the Hudson Valley\, Betty and the Baby Boomers (Betty Boomer\, Jean McAvoy\, Paul Rubeo\, Steve Stanne\, and Robert Bard) came  together back in 1987 through their work for Clearwater. The group has been praised regionally – they “sing and play old-school folk like it was brand spanking new” (Kingston’s Daily Freeman); nationally – “a refreshing reminder of the halcyon days of American folk music” (Sing Out!); and internationally\, with many bookings over decades at Clifden Arts Week\, a long-running festival in Ireland. The group wraps distinctive four-part harmonies and sparkling guitar and Dobro licks around songs from Pete Seeger\, Phil Ochs\, and others who inspired their generation\, plus original and contemporary material in that tradition. According to Wanda Fischer\, host of WAMC’s Hudson River Sampler\, “Everything Betty and the Baby Boomers present\, whether in person or on a recording\, is guaranteed to be exquisite\, fresh\, and astounding. They were destined to sing together. How fortunate are we\, as listeners\, that they do.” \nbbabyboomers@aol.com\nwww.bettyandthebabyboomers.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/BettyandtheBabyBoomers/ \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\nThe Hudson Valley Folk Guild will be providing the New York State Office of Parks with outdoor music on select Wednesday evenings for “Twilight Music in the Parks”.
