$20 suggested donations purchase advanced tickets for $18 "Featuring vocal harmonies, rollicking banjo/fiddle breakdowns, hillbilly blues, jugband stompers, ballads, and flatfoot dancing, Moonshine Holler (Paula Bradley and Bill Dillof) captures the essence of American roots music! Known for their prowess on fiddle, banjo, guitar, Hawaiian guitar, harmonica and ukulele, the duet has performed at festivals, concerts and music camps across the country. Bradley has toured with "Uncle Earl"; she’s also toured and recorded with banjo innovator Tony Trischka and traditional music powerhouse Bruce Molsky. Dillof is a member of the NYC-based band "Major Contay & The Canebrake Rattlers," mining string band music for over thirty years. |

Saturday, May 12 - 7:30
$15 suggested donation A Simple Heart returns following their sold-out performance last summer. The duo, singer-songwriter and pianist Janice Hardgrove and guitarist Timothy E. Pitt, blend soulful originals and elegant interpretations of songs by everyone from Joni Mitchell to Robin Batteau, Suzanne Vega, and George and Ira Gershwin. Janice and Timothy have opened shows for artists ranging from jazz great Don Byron to folk icon John Gorka, and released their debut CD last year. They’ll become a quintet again for this special evening, joined once more by keyboardist Pete Levin, drummer Tim Griffin, and bassist Mark Dann. |

$15 suggested donation Betty Boomer, Jean Valla McAvoy, Paul Rubeo, and Steve Stanne began singing together 30 years ago, and bassist Robert Bard fit right in when he joined later on. “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. |
Maaike Hoekstra Gallery
We have made improvements to the church building and are on the verge of making more. In 2016, we upgraded the bathroom for accessibility and we have just completed the new improved stage for concerts and theatre readings.
Our next project is to restore the reception room, which will be known as the Maaike Hoekstra Gallery, in loving memory and in honor of our co-founder and first president who passed on early this year. We are scraping, re-plastering and repainting the walls and preparing the gallery to exhibit works featuring local and visiting artists in painting and photography. |
