I hope you'll enjoy all the acts - there is usually a great mix of music. There is no admission charge, and the Rosendale Cafe is a very reasonably priced place to eat great food. I hope you'lll come out and join us for a relaxing and inspiring evening.

iN TRANSiT
Classic Rock & Original Tunes


iN TRANSiT is a blues/rock band from Washingtonville, New York. Though they have performed mostly covers, the band has written a handful of original songs and continues to work on original material. The band formed in 2002 when two guitar players and a drummer got together during their sophomore year at Washingtonville High School to play rock music outside of school. After practicing a few times and playing a few songs at a school function, the band - still nameless - added a bass player and a keyboard player. In October of 2003 the band added a third guitar player and successfully played their first official gig at a local party. Soon after the band began attending the weekly open mic at Bodles Opera House in Chester, NY. At their first open mic appearance on February 12, 2004, the band performed for the first time under the name "iN TRANSiT," which was taken from a humorous story from their history class. iN TRANSiT continued to practice and play gigs at parties and other functions throughout the course of 2004 until they headlined their first show at Bodles Opera House. Drawing a crowd of near 100, the band played a set packed with classic rock and blues hits. Shortly after this show, one of the original guitarists departed the band, leaving it with its current lineup.
Opening the show: Kelsey Ball
