10:00 pm | Detroit Americana Duo on Tour
with Lac La Belle
Americana, Folk/Traditional, and Roots Music | The Spotty Dog
440 Warren St.
Hudson, NY See Map |
 Americana duo Lac La Belle, of Detroit, Michigan, juxtaposes the early decades of recorded rural American music with decaying Rustbelt aesthetic. A tradition is re-imagined- or maybe just resumed- in the ‘future-rustic’ swirl of accordion, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and resonator guitar. The instrumentation echos another era, but is employed for a music of now.
Jennie Knaggs mined folk music first hand from local musicians of the Appalachian region. Her snapping rhythm guitar, mandolin and accordion playing are all in fine display with Lac La Belle. She is the 2000 Hollerin' Champion of Wise Co., Virginia and Letcher Co., Kentucky, and she gracefully applies her vocal techniques in the duo's original works with her soaring and yodeling vocals.
Nick Schillace has toured and performed with other fingerpicking greats including Bert Jansch, Peter Lang, and Jack Rose, and is considered an authority on early 20th century American fingerpicking guitar styles.

| My primary instrument is my voice, and my guitar embellishes, accompanies, and decorates it. My sound and style are my own. Exposure to music and vocal styles of all types, ranging from standards to jazz to folk/traditional to blues, and to the music of Great Britain, the Appalachian Mountains of Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina, have influenced my sound and led me to describe my music as "eclectic acoustic." I have opened for Christine Lavin and Dave Cousins and performed in Showcases and the Open Mic Finals at the Towne Crier Cafe in Pawling, NY, and appeared in venues in the Hudson Valley and Southwestern CT. I perform a good mix of songs, including my own compositions, covers, and traditional music. I like to tell the stories of the traditional songs I sing and might focus on the song's provenance, themes, imagery, history, depiction of characters, etc. Listeners tell me that they enjoy learning about this traditional music. |

 The dynamic female trio that began as a happy accident around a campsite (at the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival) is now drawing invitations from renowned historic national events like Merlefest, and is winning over audiences around the country. Spurred onward by an ever-growing and devoted fanbase, and the desire to commit themselves to touring farther from home, Red Molly is at the start of a new and exciting musical chapter. In 2010, founding members Laurie MacAllister (bass, banjo) and Abbie Gardner (Dobro, guitar) welcomed Austin-based singer/songwriter Molly Venter, to fill out their lush, distinctive three-part harmonies. “We are busily reinventing fan favorites from our current recordings, while adding new material and collaborating on songwriting for the first time,” says Gardner. “This is an exciting time for the band; we’re so thrilled that Molly has joined us,” adds MacAllister. Opening the night is Carsie Blanton, whom MacAllister calls “TOTALLY AMAZING!"

 Ever wonder how music is created? We're going to show you, with a new live music event called "Sessions". Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, we invite you to join saxman and vocalist JP Patrick and his band, Patrick Murphy McDowell, as they rehearse, work, and play for each other, and for you. "Sessions" presents an opportunity for audience members to be co-collaborators on a new song, or to simply get an up-close and personal view of what it takes to put together a live performance. Learn how a guest musician's style can shape the sound of a familiar song. Then, feel free to share your input... as artists and audience create music together.
Budding musicians of all ages will be inspired as they watch the creative process unfold. Even if you don't perform, you'll enjoy this intimate look at how musicians do what they love to do best: "play". Join us for a night of low-volume, high quality music the whole family will enjoy.
