BANDING

L to R: Fife and Drom, Friday at 6 p.m., Alley Park; Emily Mure, Saturday, 3 p.m., Alley Park; Natalia Zukerman, Saturday, 4 p.m., Helsinki Hudson courtyard.

by Brian PJ Cronin

The timer on the Hudson Music Festival’s website is in constant motion, counting down the seconds until the first act takes the stage on Friday, August 8th and the festival officially begins. But when we spoke to festival co-producer Chad Weckler in the middle of June, exactly who that first act would be and what stage they’d be taking was still up for grabs. Weckler wasn’t worried. “It all comes together very quickly,” he said. “There’s still so much good stuff that’s tentative at this point.” Ok, but at this point, what’s definite? There’s a pause and then Weckler laughs and says ,“The festival is definitely happening.” Now in its fourth year, the Hudson Music Festival has become New York State’s largest free three-day music festival. Last year 15,000 people showed up to watch 100 different acts spread across 20 different venues all over Hudson. Weckler hopes to have the same number of acts this year as well. By the end of June this year he was up to 60. Finding bands is not the problem. “The word has gotten out about us,” he said. More than 300 acts from 25 different states and five different countries applied to play the festival this year. Weckler and his co-producer Rob Johanson just need a place to put them. “The funding dictates how big the festival is,” Weckler explained. “When we get more funding we add more stages, which opens up more slots. And the funding is always a challenge. But that’s true of most non-profit organizations our size.” Under the fiscal sponsorship of Artspire, the festival operates as a non-profit organization; funding itself through grants, sponsorships and donations. Without those funds, the festival wouldn’t be free. And without other Hudson institutions like Helsinki Hudson and the Hudson Black Arts & Cultural Festival, it probably wouldn’t be happening at all. It was in December 2010, when Weckler was leading a workshop on the creative economy at the Hudson Opera House, that the idea of a citywide music festival first came up. Everyone

thought it was a great idea. Nobody knew how or when to make it happen. At a follow up meeting with representatives from all of Hudson’s music venues, Johanson and Weckler oﬀered to lead the charge and mount the ﬁrst festival that summer. They found an important early ally in Elena Mosely, the co-producer of the Hudson Black Arts and Cultural Festival. “She said to us ‘I do my festival the second weekend in August, so why don’t we partner together and have it on the same weekend? This way we can work together,’ “ recalled Weckler. Another important partner has been Helsinki Hudson, one of the festival’s many venues. On Saturday, August 9th, the club is completely turning itself over to the festival. “We’ll have the club stage and a stage in the courtyard,” says Weckler. “They’ve been so great to allow us to take over and curate their space every year. And believe me, everyone is dying to play Helsinki, they keep saying ‘Give me a slot there.’” The Columbia County Council on the Arts is also getting involved. On Saturday, next to the festival stage at 7th Street Park, CCCA will host an Artist’s Marketplace featuring about 40 vendors. If all of this seems like a lot for the average music lover wandering the streets of Hudson to keep track of, Weckler’s got

you covered. For the second year in a row, the Festival has created a free smartphone app for both iPhones and Android devices. The app not only lists the full schedule and roster of artists performing, but information about each artist and links to their websites. Users can then highlight the acts that sound interesting to them and create a custom schedule for the weekend that shows when and where each of their selected acts are performing. For those who prefer to fly by the seat of their pants, the app will ensure that you’ll always know which band is playing next, what they sound like, who’s playing at that same time someplace else, and how to get there. This makes it easier for music lovers to get out and explore the whole festival, taking in the sights and sounds of Hudson along the way - which is integral to the festival’s success. “That’s the reason why we do it city-wide,” said Weckler. “We want to embrace all of Hudson so that when people come into town, they have to walk the sidewalk, they have a chance to see the city, see the businesses.” If it’s anything like last year, when more than twice as many people as actually live in Hudson showed up for the festival, there’ll be plenty of people out on the sidewalks familiarizing themselves with the city. It’s a remarkable turnout for a festival that features no household names on the bill. Just lots and lots of acts from every imaginable genre who’ve heard about the Hudson renaissance and want to come be a part of it - even if it’s just for a weekend. It’s hard to imagine an event such as this becoming so big, so successful, so quickly, anywhere else in the Hudson Valley. “This is the magic thing that’s very hard for people to put their fingers on,” said Weckler. “Why Hudson? Why are so many people and entrepreneurs coming here?” It’s a subject of endless debate from the shops of Warren Street to the pages of The New York Times, but Weckler thinks it all comes down to the first three rules of real estate: Location, location, location.

It’s a remarkable turnout for a festival that features no household names on the bill. Just lots and lots of acts from every imaginable genre who’ve heard about the Hudson renaissance and want to come be a part of it – even if it’s just for a weekend.

“I think it’s our proximity to New York City, having the Amtrak here, and the Taconic and the Thruway close by. We’re not too far from Albany, the Berkshires, even Boston. We just seem to be situated perfectly.” Easy to get to and, thanks to the festival’s app, easy to navigate. But even those without a smartphone - or a schedule, or even any advance notice as to what’s going on - will have no trouble enjoying the weekend’s festivities. Simply get to Warren Street, walk towards the river, and enjoy the bands blasting forth from every single block. Chances are you’ll bump into Weckler himself, running around, taking pictures, and ﬁguring out how to make the biggest little music festival in New York even more unique, more diverse, more Hudson in time for next year.

Hudson Summer 2014

Germany/Italy/UK,” a series of c-prints by Wyatt Niehaus where he modifies renderings of luxury car interiors, dimmed and glowing red. 727: July 12-27: “Removable Feast,” an expansion upon Nick Darmstaedter’s magnetic paintings with modified freezers containing a variety of packaged ice creams to be consumed by the viewer. Presented along with dogs in life vests and backyard barbecues, the work speaks to the celebratory welcoming of summer. In this recent body of work, Darmstaedter methodically arranges found magnets into fields of color and form. These clustered novelties recall painters’ brushstrokes while evoking discrete emotional and cultural referents. The recognizable vernacular objects offer an entry point through collective nostalgia, that when arranged in a larger field also engage formal ideas of composition and color.

Thomas Cole Historic Site 218 Spring St., Catskill, NY 12414 Through November 2: “Master, Mentor, Master: Thomas Cole & Frederick Church,” the ﬁrst exhibition to explore one of the most inﬂuential teacher-student relationships in the history of American art – that between the founder of the Hudson River School of painting, Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and his most celebrated student and successor, Frederic Church (1826-1900). Church was

first introduced to the Hudson Valley as an 18–year-old when he came to live and study with Cole at the property known as Cedar Grove in Catskill, New York, from 1844 to 1846. Curated by John Wilmerding, Sarofim Professor of American Art, Emeritus, at Princeton University and former Senior Curator and Deputy Director of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the exhibition presents Church’s early works from this formative two-year period, as well as later works that speak to a deep and lifelong connection between two painters who defined American art.

Valley Variety Warren St., Hudson, NY 12534 Through July 6: In celebration of Gay Pride month, Valley Variety presents “I Feel Lucky,” a collection of self-portrait photographs by Frank Yamrus. Inspired by the onset of a mid-life crisis, Yamrus turned the lens on himself and produced a powerful collection of self-portraits that reflect pivotal moments in his life. July 12-September 7: “Odds & Ends, Take One,” a group exhibition featuring works of four Upstate NY artists - Peter Acheson, Susan Meyer, Jill Shoffiett and Jeff Starr. The exhibition is named for a song from The Basement Tapes, recorded at Big Pink when Dylan and The Band decamped from the City to the Arcadian retreat, Woodstock. The exhibit riffs on the idea of Upstate as a state of mind, a refuge, an escape—illusory or not. Each artist responds to visual, psychological and actual terrain; the combination creates a patchwork of disparate truths. Hours: Sat. & Sun., noon-6 p.m. Information: 518.205.8387; http://www.retrospectivegallery.com

blockbusters TK Home and Garden has Taken Warren’s 400 Block by Storm

story and photos by Ashley Drewes

The hip home furnishings and accessories store at 441 Warren Street, TK Home and Garden, was founded in 2010 by Tessy Kessler and Jay Neuschatz. This relatively new kid on the 400 block of Warren Street has been anything but shy since its arrival, forging powerful new partnerships and creating quite a stir amongst its neighbors. I recently sat down with what I’ll call the “Team TK” at the shop one Friday evening, just before Hudson’s dinner crowd came around. Behind the counter is Tessy Kessler, who has an aura not unlike Jacqueline Kennedy – all at once energetic and poised. Beside her is her partner in love and business, Manhattan-based dentist Jay Neuschatz. Neuschatz works the shop with Kessler on the weekends, and joins Kessler on their many shopping trips abroad. The couple is joined by their silent partner, Simba – the ﬂuﬀy, wide-eyed shop dog that makes every furniture staging feel that much more like home. On the other side of the counter sits Andrew Nelson, the Hudson-based marketing whiz who came on board in 2013, and has since taken Kessler’s and Neuschatz’s ideas about business ownership to the next level.

This relatively new kid on the 400 block of Warren Street has been anything but shy since its arrival, forging powerful new partnerships and creating quite a stir... Nelson and Kessler first met at the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, where both were on the Hudson Business Coalition Executive Committee. At the time, Nelson was also handling the social media, e-commerce product descriptions and press releases for the nearby retailer Harvey’s Counter. “We were very impressed with what you did,” Neuschatz tells him. “We liked your work. We liked your writing,” Kessler adds. Nelson is humble, stating, “[Forming a business relationship] was a very organic type of thing.” The first project the team set to working on was a shopping event last August, which included five other retail stores on Warren Street. The team called it the “400 Block Soirée,” aptly named because the participating stores are all on the 400 block

Columbia-Greene Media

Nelson says that special events have been a way to welcome new store owners to the neighborhood, bring new people into the store through crosspromotion, and help raise funds for area organizations... of Warren Street. They decided to use the word soirée because Neuschatz and Kessler often do their buying in Paris. Nelson did all the PR for the event. To keep the momentum, the team organized a second soirée just before Christmas, but unfortunately the event conflicted with another event happening the same evening – a major snowstorm. Undeterred, team TK rallied and threw yet another soirée in April of this year, this time with the support of all of the stores on the block. Nelson says it was a huge success. “The word has spread to the 700-800 block. It’s getting a pretty good reputation,” adds Kessler. Neushatz says that the soirées aren’t all they have been doing. “Since Labor Day 2010, TK has hosted at least 15 events,” including musical performances, art exhibits and even a dinner party. “At least four to five a year of different things,” says Kessler. “It started out that way by accident. Before we even had merchandise in the store, we had some local artists in the store, ” says Neuschatz, adding that acclaimed painter Andrew Dupont was among the first artists to exhibit. “That was really what got us started.” In fact, the store hosts an art opening every time a new artist’s collection arrives in the store for retail. The current featured collection is Trucks by Nancy Foreman. TK has also hosted three Classics on Hudson (formerly Claverack Landing) musical performances. The next one is scheduled for September 6th. So why so many events? Nelson says that special events have been a way to welcome new store owners to the neighborhood, bring new people into the store through cross-promotion, and help raise funds for area organizations (like the Hudson Area Library). In the Spring of 2011, TK hosted an event for Equine Advocates, a Chatham-based equine advocate and rescue organization. Equine-related events have been a way for the three to share their passion for animal welfare, as musical events have been a way for them to share their passion for music. Nelson adds, “It’s something we three kind of share and understand – the importance of reaching out to the community.” Kessler notes that TK has also been able to support local art by offering burgeoning artists a kick start early in their careers. In addition to hosting more than a dozen successful events, the trio has also found several new retailers for their offerings, including a SOHO store called Kate’s Papery, and two Brooklynbased e-commerce sites, Strolby and Krrb.com. To keep things lively in the local market, Nelson keeps the store’s social media engaging. “We’ve launched our lunchbox special,” Nelson says.“Every weekday at 11:30 a.m. we announce on Facebook

Interior of TK Home and Garden.

Work by photographic artist Nancy Foreman is currently available in the store.

Owl-themed throw pillows are just some of the many unique home furnishings oﬀered for sale.

a promotion that only happens from 12:30-1 p.m. of that same day,” says Nelson. One promotion was a free chocolate bar with purchase, while other promotions have included special discounts. Nelson notes, “It’s a reason to be tuned into our overall story.” No doubt, there are countless reasons to be tuned into the TK story – and it has only just begun.

Jamal Jackson Dance Company: Bask in the Shade PS21, 2980 Route 66, Chatham, NY 12037 Fri. & Sat., Aug. 15 & 16, 8 p.m.: Bask in The Shade is a piece that explores the “benchmark” for certain levels of acceptance and inclusion into various social circles. This work, takes an in-depth look at the inﬂuence of the surroundings on the individual while also challenging external and internal physical boundaries. Bask in the Shade asks us to consider the role that race plays in our own self-perception, as well as the perceptions society places on us based on skin color,” said Jackson. “I want the audience to sit inside these concepts and see how their own identity has been deﬁned or manipulated. I want them to bask in it.” The use of traditional Malian movement combined with an evolved contemporary African technique helps show the tug of war between more traditional and modern values.
