Indivisible Hurley/Woodstock are organizing a benefit concert called Democracy Rocks 2. Last year’s concert was a huge success, and this year’s goal is to raise funds for local Indivisible groups’ democracy saving efforts and Ulster Rapid Response’s ICE Watch. Save the date: August 16 from 2-9pm in Woodstock.

Democracy Rocks Concert in Woodstock Sunday, Aug 16

Another amazing element to this event is the silent auction. Concertgoers will have a chance to bid in a silent auction for two, one-week stays at Villa Tiquicia, a newly remodeled, luxurious three-bedroom Airbnb, in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica – a popular resort district near beaches and coastal jungle adjoining a national park. Value: $6,000 per week.

If you’re feeling the deep desire to let loose for a great cause in this bite-size, local, and fun way, make a plan to attend and buy your $45 ticket at the door on August 16th starting at 2pm. Online ticket sales are sold out, but there are plenty of tickets left for purchase at the door. Please reach out to Indivisible Hurley/Woodstock at Indivisiblehurleywoodsock@gmail.com with any questions.

New Book -- The Living Thread Orchestra
March 1, 2026

In The Living Thread Orchestra, Marshall Wolfe presents a unified vision of the body—not as disconnected parts, but as a living system with coherence, rhythm, and return. He describes the human being as a field of energy, a harmony, a “galaxy,” connected by a single thread—an organizing force that links organs, mind, and spirit into one functioning whole. His work explores the idea that healing is not only chemical or mechanical, but also a restoration of balance, alignment, and internal order.

Ani DiFranco Biopic coming to Saugerties
December 20, 2024

1-800-ON-HER-OWN is a cinematic musical road trip through the life of feminist singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, founder of the first “woman-run non corporate queer-happy” record label Righteous Babe Records. Throughout the ride from her punk-folk past to her life today as activist, rock star and mother, she’s brutally honest, famously foul-mouthed and totally hilarious. Her daily challenges resonate as we reveal both an enduring, inspiring musical icon and a very relatable contemporary “everywoman” with her own epic fails and hard-won victories.

Coming to the Orpheum theater in Saugerties on Dec 30. The only NY showing this month.

More info and buy tickets.
