Take a look below to see the full schedule!
The Club Helsinki Pro Jam is a bimonthly event welcoming all working musicians in the region to sit in for a freewheeling blues jam. This time out, the core band will feature Tas Cru (guitar/vocals), Petey Hop (guitar/vocals), Jay Collins (saxophone/vocals), Kyle Esposito (bass/vocals), Pete Levin (keyboards) and Sonny Rock (drums).
"Professor Maestro," aka Rev. Ronald Grant, pastor of Hudson's Shiloh Baptist Church, performs music of the holiday season.
Part dance party, part funk concert, part comedy show, the holiday-funk spectacular Holidelic features original holiday songs as well as loose, funk-infused adaptations of Tchaikovsky, "Frosty the Snowman," "Little Drummer Boy" and the like. With Holidelic, Everett "Papadelic" Bradley puts a fresh spin on holiday cheer, through lively holiday party tunes, outrageous costumes, and a theatrical stage show worthy of George Clinton's P-Funk.

Matt Lorenz, the Northampton, Mass.-based indie-blues singer-songwriter who performs under the name The Suitcase Junket, is a one-man salvage specialist singing into the hollow of a dumpster guitar, railing on a box of twisted forks and bones, and belting out mountain ballads till the house sings back. Carsie Blanton is a witty, provocative indie singer-songwriter.
The Hudson Valley's own Felice Brothers - the 21st century's answer to The Band - will help ring out the old and ring in the new with their unique blend of Americana and party music, aided and abetted by Hudson's own, inimitable Tommy Stinson, a co-founder of legendary indie-rock band The Replacements and a former member of Guns 'n Roses and Soul Asylum.
The Capital District-based rock 'n' roll revivalists Mark Gamsjager & the Lustre Kings celebrate what would have been the King's 85th birthday. For several decades, the Lustre Kings have been keeping the sound of early rockabilly alive, both in the region and across the U.S. and around the world. They bring an immediacy to the joyful music with a dark underbelly that has compelled performers like Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly, as well as Bill Kirchen, Eddie Angel, and Robert Gordon, to draft them into the service of rock 'n' roll revivalism.
