All welcome to All Together Now! in Cold Spring
Musicians Linda Richards, Michele and Rick Gedney, Raquel Vidal, Todd Giudice and Dar Williams will host All Together Now!, a singalong Beatles night. The event will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, at St. Mary’s Parish Hall, 1 Chestnut St., Cold Spring. All ages and abilities welcome.
Williams notes: “Singing the Beatles is incredibly fun, but it’s also a great introduction to music, especially for kids. Some guitar and theory instructors teach exclusively from different parts of the Beatles catalog. I learned how to sing harmony from Revolver and Sgt. Pepper.”
Lyrics will be projected (thanks to Cold Spring Film Society). Coffee and sweets will be served. Donations welcome.
What a great idea! Now here’s one back at all you talented musicians who live in or near Cold Spring: is there any way you guys and gals could help us organize some outdoor musical events?
Maybe you know some musicians or bands who’d like to set up along Main Street during the summer and just play for the enjoyment of the passersby. Cold Spring seems to have everything except live music and there are very few outdoor events such as a Jazz & Blues Festival like they’re having in, of all places, Putnam Valley, next weekend.
The merchants have been talking about trying to have a special day in Cold Spring and it wouldn’t be complete without live music. I hope it’s not too late to do something this summer and/or fall!
The Cold Spring Chamber of Commerce has put on an outdoor music series that runs every other Sunday in the summer. It’s been going on for three years now. Cathryn Fadde was the driver behind it in years past. Others on the Board, and other sponsoring businesses, have stepped forward to make it happen again this year while she sits on the Village board. We’d love to have you as a sponsor and if that’s not possible as a member of the Chamber. A lot of your ideas cover areas we’re working on.
David Amram is a Hudson Valley treasure! And yes, he has lived in Putnam Valley for a long time, along with other luminaries (who don’t want to be named, they’re that famous!). The last time he and I spoke, he was contemplating a move to The City (of Beacon). :) Patty, nothing would make me happier than to connect Main Street to music events. I’d originally hoped to connect this sing-a-long with First Fridays, so let’s keep an ear open for that, as they say. Thanks for being so supportive.
What a great event! Let’s “Come Together” more often :)
