Ross Goldstein released his brand new album, Blunders on November 15 on OddCat Records. The nine track, polished LP takes a deep dive into the world of psychedelia and features producer Eric Goulden (Wreckless Eric). This is Goldstein’s fifth full-length record, following his 2021 release Chutes and Ladders.

Recorded in Catskill, NY at Goulden’s home studio, Blunders was co-produced and engineered by Wreckless Eric. Both Goldstein and Goulden are credited with playing almost every instrument on the record. Despite a morose subject matter, there’s a noticeable warmth that encapsulates Blunders.
Goldstein refers to the LP as “bummer psychedelia” and states that he was “aiming to achieve a cinematic mood and a feeling of being alone and lost on the road in America. Living on the road and feeling lonely and isolated are central themes of the record – attempting to pick up the pieces after relationships fall apart – both accepting and embracing failures.”
Goldstein cites 60’s and 70’s pop, artists like Neil Young, The Beatles, and Grateful Dead as his primary influences as a songwriter. He also references Holland, the 1973 release by The Beach Boys as a major source of inspiration.
Goldstein’s arrangements, eclectic songwriting and heavy use of imagery in his lyrics allow for each song to stand alone – yet they are pieced together in a way that not only establishes his goal of cinematic musicality, but creates a captivating piece of art from Blunders’ first note, to its last. From the country americana, tinged by psychedelia vibes of “My Slippers”, to the dreamy, albeit uneasy soundscapes on tracks like “The Village”, this record has a welcoming yet dark in nature attitude.
His eccentric tones, emotional guitar solos, goosebump inducing textures and production techniques are reminiscent of bands like Pink Floyd and Ween. His use of spoken word on “Carrizozo” and “Ticker Tape”, the funk grooves of “Odd Man Out” and the seemingly not so lyrically serious “I Forgot To Comb My Hair” are just a few examples of how this genre-blending, borderline defying release synthesize under an umbrella of psychedelic folky goodness.
Blunders is currently available on all streaming services – learn more and support Ross Goldstein here.
The Hudson Valley’s busiest goth triple-threat, musician/DJ/burlesque queen Tryst La Noir, has returned with a new single that’s as “raw, dirty and wild” as love itself, a sonic blast entitled “Goddamn!”
Tryst’s latest is another preview of tunes earmarked for her as of yet untitled third album slated for release in Spring 2025. Earlier this year, Tryst and her collaborator, Brooklyn-based producer/guitarist Steve Woodzell, unleashed a duo of singles from the album “Bathwater Blues” and “Oh Lover”.
Tryst says, “In comparison to my previous albums, this will be my most vulnerable yet. I have been experimenting with instruments and sounds that I never had before. And when it comes to the writing process, especially the lyrics, I am not sugarcoating anything.”
The fierce “Goddamn” bears some of the hallmarks of Tryst’s greatest musical influences, including Nine Inch Nails, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey, Morphine, and even the bluesy love laments of jazz songbird, Billie Holiday. “I really love old blues music from the 40s, along with 60s psychedelia, 80s goth, 90s grunge and post-punk. My music is a mash-up of all these styles, with an accent on full-on passion and energy.”
Tryst’s newest single slams a slow industrial groove, accented with a dense mix of fuzzy guitars, impossibly big beats, howling synths, and her caterwauling vocals. Lyrically, the song profiles a fiery love affair that sparks a combustible attraction between lovers that comes with an overdose of both passion and toxicity.
But music is just one facet of Tryst’s busy career. She also works as a DJ at leading area clubs, including Pearl Moon, Colony Woodstock, and The Avalon Lounge. Tryst also serves as a performer and host of a series of burlesque nights produced by Strangehouse, an event and video production concern she runs with her partner, musician/videographer Byron Frayne.
Look for Tryst La Noir spinning at Kingston’s Unicorn Bar for its Bowie Birthday Ball on January 24 and her ongoing Friday Night Fever at Colony Woodstock on January 3. She will also bring her burlesque spectacular to the Colony on Valentine’s Day.

After a hugely successful European tour, 2024 will be culminating with five highly anticipated shows for The Felice Brothers.
The band’s end of the year run of shows kicks off Friday, December 27 in Williamsburg at Brooklyn Bowl, followed by a show at Brooklyn Bowl in Philadelphia. December 29 finds the group in Rockville Centre at Centre Station, and round the year out with two hometown shows for this incredible Americana band at brand new venue Assembly Kingston.
The Felice Brothers call the Catskill Mountains home, yet much of their success to their early days busking and playing in around New York City. Playing unplugged wherever they could the band found their distinct sound and style, penning such songs as “Frankie’s Gun” from their self titled album and covering “This Land Is your Land” like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, whom Ian Felice’s songwriting has been compared with.
With three new brilliant records the past three years and an entire catalogue from the past 20 years, The Felice Brothers have been leaving audiences in awe with their foot stomping sing alongs, to tender ballads and everything in between.
Through 18 official releases and gosh knows how many secret recordings (check out their black limo recording), The Felice Brothers have stuck to their roots, while experimenting (“Celebration, Florida”), finding new form and maturing as musicians all while capturing the heart of American life, strife, beauty, grit, struggle and the knowledge that each soul has their own unique story. From the rowdiness of their live record Tonight at the Arizona (which was also re-issued ten years later as part of a special record store day recording) to the more produced Yonder is the Clock during their first decade as a band is amazing to go back through as a listener.
This writer was lucky enough to attend the 2019 and 2023 NYE concerts at Colony Woodstock and the band brought in many special guests, playing on songs old and new, amazing covers and so ,many special moments that left all smiling from ear to ear right into the New Year. The Felice Brothers are sure to bring out many more such more moments in celebration of their 20 year Anniversary as America’s top Americana band and the critically acclaimed songwriting that stands the test of time as well as the appreciation of their peers.
The band shared their thoughts on the upcoming shows: “Friends and loved ones, we are doing it again! Holiday shows! Some old favorites and a NEW never before rocked venue in Kingston. Now you know what you’re doing to close out 2024.”
The Felice Brothers have had a few lineup shakeups as their brother Simone moved along very nicely with a solo career, and the band found a new stride in 2014 with the release of Favorite Waitress. The new lineup also but out an incredible record Undress in 2019 and in the past few years has put out From Dreams To Dust (2021), Asylum On The Hill (2023), and Valley of Abandoned Songs (2024) which they have just finished a European tour supporting. Each record is a set of new treasures, and both Ian and James Felice have truly found their voices and are complemented so well by the backline and backing vocals of Jesske Humme (bass), Will Lawrence (drums).
Located in Kingston’s vibrant Uptown/Stockade District, Assembly Kingston is poised to become avcornerstone of the region’s burgeoning arts and culture scene. These New Year’s Eve performances will be a special homecoming for the band, who will take the stage to ring in 2025 with their signature blend of folk, rock, and heartfelt storytelling.
The Felice Brothers’ return home this December will surely lead to an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration. The beloved Americana band will perform two back-to-back shows on December 30 and 31, marking the highly anticipated inaugural event at the brand-new venue, Assembly Kingston.
Tickets are available now for the entire tour, and are selling quickly. There is a low ticket alert for both Assembly Kingston shows. You can find them here.
Hudson Valley singer-songwriter Ginger Winn has released her newest single in honor of musical icon John Lennon, “Dear John.”
Based in the Hudson Valley, Ginger Winn is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who was launched into the spotlight after a captivating performance at Woodstock Way Hotel.
Since this fateful performance, Winn’s folk-tinged guitar and melancholy-tinted vocals have captivated folks across the Hudson Valley and beyond- eventually resulting in a gig touring the west coast alongside Gipsy Kings.
Released earlier this year, Winn debuted with Stop-Motion, a ten track album that quickly set the tone for Ginger’s career as a promising one.
Returning with her latest work, Winn has released “Dear John,” a heartfelt single dedicated to John Lennon that was published on the anniversary of his untimely passing; a crestfallen letter to a hero she’ll never have the opportunity to meet.
“John Lennon has inspired me from an early age. I remember being about 12 and buying a magazine that told his life story. It taught me a lot about being an artist, following the path you feel is right, and making sure that path leads you to a destination that is best for you, which I’ve used as a guiding light in my journey. He’s a true creative who did whatever he wanted to do, no matter the consequences.”
– Ginger Winn
Co-written with Matthew Baione, co-founder of Keep Good Company Records, “Dear John” has its roots in Paul Goresh’s images capturing Lennon’s interaction with Mark David Chapman, Chapman’s manifesto, the moment in the Imagine documentary where John invites the stalkers on his property in for tea, and the famous image of Pope John Paul II forgiving his would-be assassin.
“The song is as beautiful as it is tragic and John has always been an inspiration; we share a birthday and I’ve always admired his audacity, creativity, search for interconnectivity in society, and his attempts at leading with love, especially near his life’s end. He was a dreamer.”
– Matthew Baione
Following this release, Winn will be performing “Dear John” and other works of hers live at two upcoming shows in New York City. She’ll be gracing the stage of the Bowery Electric on December 29, and Arlene’s Grocery on January 29.
For more information on these shows, Winn’s previous works, and to keep up with all of her future endeavors, be sure to visit her official website here.
A tour-de-force combination of acclaimed jam band artists, the Skeleton Krewe Trio composed of Rob Barraco, Barry Sless, and Stephen Inglis have announced their debut tour along the east coast, including dates in Williamsburg and Woodstock.

In an exciting development, the Skeleton Krewe Trio has announced their debut tour across the east coast, including nights at the Brooklyn Bowl on February 22 and the Bearsville Theater on February 28.
In addition to their own talents, the unit will expand to a quintet for two nights with the addition of Barraco’s DSO bandmate Skip Vangelas on bass and his son Tom Barraco on drums- one of which includes the Brooklyn Bowl.
“This collaboration represents a unique moment in time where three distinct musical paths converge. We’re creating something entirely new while honoring the traditions we each bring to the table.”
– Rob Barraco
The Skeleton Krewe Trio’s debut tour promises a variety of sounds spanning original compositions, interpretations of works by the Grateful Dead, and dynamic improvisations that span genres from traditional Hawaiian to psychedelic Americana.

In addition to work in his own neck of the woods, Drury has given masterclasses in 20 universities across three continents and has led over 1,500 workshops in schools, prisons, museums, homeless shelters, and more.
J.D. Parran shares a similar love for music in all forms- composing, collaborating, and educating. Having mastered a wide variety of woodwind instruments, Parran has appeared on over 50 recordings over the past three decades including collaborations with John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Yoko Ono, and more.
In addition to his purely musical endeavors, Parran is also a veteran educator who gives lectures at City University of New York and teaches the clarinet and saxophone at Harlem School for the Arts.
He has also been commissioned as a composer by the likes of the National Endowment for the Arts, Meet the Composer, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the Helen W. Buckner Foundation.
Hosted in the Assisted Living art space situated just behind the brand new Untouchable Bar, Drury and Parran will be collaborating in an event dubbed an “UNinauguration.”

On Dec. 30 and 31, in Kingston, The Felice Brothers, joined by special guest Merce Lemon, will perform two back-to-back shows for a New Year’s Eve celebration. These shows will mark the first-ever performances to be held at the brand-new Assembly concert venue.
The Felice Brothers return to New York after a European tour through the fall in support of their newest album, Valley of Abandoned Songs. The beloved Americana band began with Ian (guitar and lead vocals) and James (multi-instrumentalist and vocals) playing their songs for travelers at home in the Catskills. They have since expanded to include bassist Jesske Hume (Conor Oberst, Jade Bird), the inaugural female member of the Felice Brothers, and drummer Will Lawrence (also a singer/songwriter) as their rhythm section.
Merce Lemon will support the Felice Brothers at their shows in the Northeast. Following the release of her stunning 2024 album, Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild, Lemon’s pairing with the Brothers is a wonderful combination that blends her alt-country sound with the Brothers’ mellower, folky style. If you like the Felice Brothers, you’ll love Merce Lemon.

Music is a force, a force that triggers emotions, not unlike religion. This force can elicit elation. It can contribute to sorrow. As a social experiment, a concert reveals emotions across that spectrum. It is the rare occasion, however, that a venue can do the same. Enter, Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock.
Affectionately known as “The Barn,” Levon Helm Studios is a nondescript building set off a country road on the outer edges of Woodstock. This building has an air of reverence about it as soon as you approach it. Once inside, its easy to get the feeling of being inside a church. High, vaulted ceilings with impeccable woodwork force one to take in the architecture. It’s not uncommon to see first-timers looking around with jaws agape at the craftsmanship that went into building this structure.
The story of The Barn has its origins as the home and recording studio of Levon Helm. Helm was best known as the drummer for The Band but also took turns acting in such films as “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “The Right Stuff” and “Feeling Minnesota” among others. The Arkansas-born musician grew up with minstrel shows and wanted to recreate that in his home studio. What became known as The Midnight Ramble was born out of necessity, but also out of a love for the informal feel of a simple jam session. Helm’s Midnight Rambles began in 2004. Word spread in the musical community and Helm and his Midnight Ramble Band (guitarist/mandolinist/fiddler Larry Campbell, guitarist Jimmy Vivino, Helm’s daughter Amy and Campbell’s wife Teresa Williams) began attracting the likes of Elvis Costello, Phil Lesh, Dr. John, Emmylou Harris, My Morning Jacket and Norah Jones to this tiny Catskills hamlet two hours north of New York City.
When Helm died in April of 2012, his final words to Amy and his manager Barbara O’Brien were, “Keep it going.” And keep it going they have. The Midnight Rambles occur regularly and provide an opportunity for musicians of Helm’s ilk to “keep it going.”
The magic that occurs at The Barn isn’t just with the music and the venue. What is truly magical about this venue, is experiencing the reactions of first-time attendees. NYS Music photographer Brian Cornish attended his first Ramble with his brother in 2006. The joy in his retelling of his first Ramble is consistent with so many others who have experienced this jewel of a venue:
It was November of 2006. My brother had heard about these house parties in Woodstock where you could buy a ticket and listen to Levon Helm sing and play, and the kicker was that it was in his own home/studio. We decided to go. Following the opening act, with no fanfare and no announcement, Helm and his band emerged and walked down a hallway to the studio. He preferred to set up on stage left, to be able to look directly at all of the other musicians and catch their eye, read their moves, maybe give them a cue or a nod, or maybe grin and point a drumstick at someone approvingly at the end of a song. Due to this atypical arrangement, we astonishingly found ourselves seated at his left elbow, six feet or so from an American treasure. With a brief flourish on the snare drum, he set the tempo, the horns kicked in, and the band followed. “Boards on the window, mail by the door…” The entire crowd was immediately dancing, tapping their feet, or singing along. It was magical. It still is.
Cornish’s proximity to Helm during his first Ramble is what makes this venue so unique and keeps people coming back. You’re not attending a concert at Levon Helm Studios. You’re celebrating music in a pure listening room with friends, friends you know and friends you just haven’t yet met. The capacity is around 200 and there isn’t a bad spot in the house. It lends itself to chatting with your neighbor between songs and the chance of chatting with any of the musicians at some point during the night.
Amy Helm taking in a performance at “The Barn”
Cornish continues with another Ramble experience:
One time, I and a few friends were seated behind the keyboards so we could look across the room at Levon. A man emerged to the right of my friends, stood at the end of the row, nodded hello, and exchanged small talk between songs in the semi-darkness. After ten or fifteen minutes, he said, “It’s been nice talking to you folks, but I have to go to work.” Only when he was under the stage lights and grabbed his guitar did we realize we’d been chatting with John Prine. Unannounced drop-in guest appearances and unexpected moments are hallmarks of many Midnight Rambles.
Cornish has made it his mission to introduce as many of his music-loving friends as possible to this experience by gifting a ticket to a first-timer as long as the next time that person goes, he or she brings another first-timer and does the same. This writer was the recipient of one such gifted ticket to a Ramble. We were joined by two other music loving friends, Dan Frieden and Rob Bishton for a performance of Amy Helm and Friends on Black Friday 2015. What made this performance so incredibly special was the appearance of Donald Fagen of Steely Dan sitting in for a performance of his band’s “Black Friday.” The fact that this musical legend was mere feet away from us during this performance was not lost on us that night and is the stuff that will be remembered for a lifetime. Two new converts to the Church of Levon were made that night.
A visit to Woodstock isn’t complete without stopping by Big Pink, the house rented by the members of The Band as they killed time waiting for Bob Dylan to recover from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident in 1966. Dylan lived in Woodstock at the time and the members of what would become The Band were members of Dylan’s backing band. Band members Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson lived in this rental in the town of West Saugerties and spent time in the basement recording covers and Dylan originals. The time spent at Big Pink, so named for the pink siding that adorned the house, solidified The Band’s sound and resulted in the oft-bootlegged and finally released album The Basement Tapes in 1975.
Each time this writer visits Levon Helm Studios, a visit to Big Pink is on the itinerary, as well as a stop at Catskill Mountain Pizza Company, a pilgrimage if you will. It will be left to the reader as to how to find this legendary abode. Anyone familiar with the music of Dylan or The Band can feel the ghosts surrounding this property. Frieden described it this way:
There is an energy at Big Pink. I had never been a big Dylan fan, but being on a property that sparked so much musical creativity made me wonder what it is that really flipped the artists’ “on” switch.
A recent visit to Woodstock for a performance by Joe Henry and Rose Cousins on December 9 indoctrinated April and Enzo Cacciatore to The Barn and Big Pink. Witnessing each of them as they took in the entire experience is what sharing a Ramble is all about.
The nearly two and a half hour trip from Rome took longer than anticipated due to a Nor’easter clipping the southeast section of the state. Despite that, a visit to Big Pink still occurred as did a dinner of pizza and craft beers at Catskill Mountain. Traveling through Downtown Woodstock during Christmas season, especially in the midst of a snow storm, is magical in itself. The storefronts are all decorated as is the town square. The snow cover offered an added air of peacefulness to the town that prides itself on the ideal of peace.
Adding to the family gathering atmosphere at the barn is the communal food table in the merchandise area. Each person is asked to bring a “dish to pass” just like at the potluck dinners of yore. This communal space in what would normally be a garage, is a place for all to gather, share food and talk music. Here, you’ll hear tales of past shows at The Barn or encounters with musicians. This is also the area where the artists’ merchandise is sold, often by themselves after their set, as was the case with Rose Cousins on this night. Cousins was friendly and quick with a joke with each person she dealt with.
Once inside, the Cacciatores took in every inch of the space. Enzo has been in the construction business as a licensed plumber and pipe fitter for almost 40 years. He’s a man who appreciates good construction and good music. He and his wife, April are 17-year veterans of the Poconos Blues Festival and regularly attend the Chenango Blues Festival. His pure appreciation for the architecture of the room was worth the price of admission. He commented that the room is perfectly built for acoustics.
April is a massage therapist and completely took in the arts-centered culture of Woodstock. Those who know April, know she wears her heart on her sleeve and this was clear in her appreciation of the music that she was just being exposed to on this night. She warned earlier in the day that tears may flow early and often throughout the show and while that can’t be proven, the emotion exhibited on stage between Cousins’ and Henry’s sets would lean this writer to believe that there were some tears shed.
Joe Henry is no stranger to this setting. His previous performance at Levon Helm Studios was with British folk/punk troubadour Billy Bragg in 2016 as they were touring their train songs album,Shine a Light. Henry commented during his performance that he and his band don’t view a stop at The Barn as just another tour stop. He likened it to being at a church, deserving of reverence.
The fact that a venue such as Levon Helm Studios exists in the age of big sheds and ticket brokers is a miracle in itself. The down-home flavor that accompanies the attendance at a Ramble and the pure magic of the room itself makes this venue a required trip for any music aficionado.
Upcoming shows at Levon Helm Studios include blues guitarist Carolyn Wonderland on January 19, The Weight Band on February 17, David Bromberg on March 3, the Zombies on March 9 and Jorma Kaukonen on March 10. To purchase tickets, you must visit the studio’s website. You will not receive a physical ticket, but rather a wristband with a number. The number on your wristband determines when you are allowed to enter the venue to claim your spot.
Join the congregation. You won’t regret the services, that’s for sure.
