Sometime back in the late 1990’s Happy and Artie Traum started putting together holiday concerts to benefit the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild. They were called “Solstice” concerts to make them inclusive and non–sectarian…a celebration for the entire community. “Each year we gathered a collection of musically compatible friends, and the artist line–up became a “Who’s Who” of area talent.” recalls Happy. “The shows continued annually with great success until Artie’s untimely passing in 2008. The following year, feeling that this would have been his wish, I reinstated the tradition in Artie’s memory.”

Acoustic | Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffe Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY See Map |
All great art has a sense of duality, and Martin Rivas’ music is a perfect portrayal of that. Within a sad song, there is a glimmer of optimism and trancendence; hidden beneath joyful, carefree notes, lies a sense of struggle and triumph. On the surface, the songs are uplifting and sweet to one’s ears, but if one digs deeper, they will find many more layers to each story. Martin Rivas’ music takes the listener on a journey that feels new and familiar, a most enjoyable ride.
Charisma and undeniable warmth are just two of the many qualities Martin Rivas brings to the stage with his infectiously melodic songs and beaming smile. This West Village and Lower East Side mainstay has made a name for himself in New York City as one of the hardest working
musicians around, playing gigs nearly every night that feature both original work and longtime favorites.

This is the season where we are compelled to be focused on the outside when our true nature really wants to stay inside and explore our own dark interiors, to reflect on the light of our own spirit, and set a course for the new growth that comes out of the fertile void. Aleah’s music facilitates this passage in a joyful and communal way. Aleah Long’s music and lyrics, a unique blend of World Beat and spoken word with musical influences from R&B and Jazz Fusion to Native American drumming and chanting, flow from her transformational journeys, and takes the listener to inner spaces that ignite compassion, magic, and healing. Her talent in composition and musical arrangement allows you to sit and meditate or shake your booty. En Full Circle is a multi-cultural ensemble of talented musicians from the Hudson Valley, including Neil Alexander, Ubaka Hill, Kitt Potter, Charlie Kniceley, Ray Levier, Yaniyah Pearson, Matt “Moose” Scott Alexander, and Evelina Otero.

 One of the nicest things about the Holidays is listening to beautiful music. This will be one of those nights. A duo and two solo acoustic artists will take their turns on our stage and treat us to their unique styles and talents.
The Callen Sisters write and sing from the heart; their lyrics speak of love, life, loss and the temporal nature of relationships. The harp lends a soothing, ethereal beauty to their original sound. Abby Payne is a singer/songwriter who is enchanted by words and their relationship to music. Her songs are insightful and poetic, yet they possess a hard edge that rocks. Cassandra Frake has "a voice like Jewel with a touch of Jazz". Cassandra's songwriting is creative, touching and refreshingly original.
