Inspired by Pete Seeger’s desire to clean up the Hudson River over forty years ago, the Great Hudson River Revival (Clearwater Festival) initially helped raise the funds to build the sloop Clearwater, which has since become a world-renowned floating classroom and a symbol of effective grassroots action. Today, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater is a non-profit organization that sails at the forefront of the nation’s environmental challenges. All proceeds go
directly to support Clearwater’s environmental research, education and advocacy efforts to help preserve and protect the Hudson River and its tributaries and communities in the river valley - as well as keeping the Clearwater afloat.

Nicole Atkins
Friday, February 24@ 7pm

"A man of diversity with music to match... Had he been born earlier, Mr. Jeffreys could have had a career as a jazz singer... Had he been born later, he might have been a peer to Citizen Cope and Ben Harper, who mix up their playlists and benefit from followings not bound by the dictates of radio."

howard fishman

Howard Fishman
Friday, March 23 @ 7pm
tickets

Howard Fishman began his career on the streets of New Orleans and in the subways of NYC, experiences that still resonate in his "disarmingly un-showbizy" concerts (Backstage). A pioneer of the Brooklyn music scene, Fishman "brings a feeling to a room that is reunion-like. Everyone there is part of a community...it can’t be helped," (11211 Magazine).

A testament to his wide-ranging appeal, Fishman has appeared on bills with such diverse artists as Odetta, Yo-Yo Ma, Maceo Parker, Robyn Hitchcock, Taj Mahal and Allen Holdsworth. He is a frequent NPR guest, making feature-length appearances on "Fresh Air," "World Cafe," "Leonard Lopate", "Word of Mouth," and has recently been featured as a headlining performer in the American Songbook at Lincoln Center; The New York Guitar Festival at Merkin Hall; at The Steppenwolf Theatre; and at Duke Performances in North Carolina.

Fishman’s travels and omnivorous curiosity inform his constantly-expanding repertoire of special projects, from his original oratorio we are destroyed, about The Donner Party, to his multi-media travelogue No Further Instructions, to his New Orleans-inspired Biting Fish Brass Band. His tenth CD, "Moon Country," was released in October.
Howard Fishman is a storyteller, a seeker, a cultural anthropologist, and "an important force in creative music"(allmusic.com).
