Interstate jammers LaMP — featuring Vermont-based Russ Lawton (drums) and Ray Paczkowski (keys), alongside Brooklynite Scott Metzger (guitar) — distill singular, road-honed improv instincts into taut, instrumental epics.

While each of the players has extensive experience with other gigs — Lawton and Paczkowski with the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) and Soule Monde, and Metzger through projects such as Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (JRAD) and Medeski, Martin, Metzger & Cline

(MMMC) — LaMP has hewed its own path.

The trio is currently touring behind their second studio collection, One Of Us, that packs 10 tracks into 35-minutes of kaleidoscopic interplay and club-shifting grooves. It’s the cleanest distillation of the LaMP sound yet, a mission statement of improvisational group-think and compositional chops.

Throughout its runtime, One Of Us acts as a showcase for the myriad of sonic flavors

LaMP brings to the table, delivering a listen which works both as deep headphone immersion or a packable-party custom-tailored to deliver the jams to upcoming 2025 tour hangs.

As word has spread and crowds have grown with each subsequent tour, it’s become clear that LaMP ft. Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski will be a musical force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.

Chill out and soak in some seriously soothing vibes during this live sound bath experience.

Often described as a psychedelic experience without psychedelics, River Song Sound presents an immersive, ceremonial sound bath designed to move beyond relaxation and invite a deeper inner journey.

Through 432 Hz instruments such as gongs, crystal singing bowls, chimes, percussion, flutes and live vocals, Jodie creates a powerful landscape of sound that helps quiet the mind, shift stagnant energy, and reconnect you with yourself. Each journey is unique, intuitive, and deeply transformative.

Yourneyers bring their yoga mat, blanket, and pillow to lay down to be bathed in sound.

Shakedown Citi is a fresh new force on the jam band scene, born in the heart of a Grateful Dead parking lot at Citi Field in 2023.

Shakedown Citi is a fresh new force on the jam band scene, born in the heart of a Grateful Dead parking lot at Citi Field in 2023. When the band's members crossed paths on Shakedown Street, something clicked - and the music hasn't stopped since.

Rather than imitating the Dead, Shakedown Citi channels their spirit - creating spontaneous, soulful performances that feel alive, adventurous and totally in the moment. Each set is a journey, full of unexpected twists, deep grooves and musical conversation that pulls even the most skeptical listener into the vibe. Every Shakedown Citi show begins long before the first note. Each setlist is thoughtfully and meticulously crafted from the Dead repertoire, affiliated catalogs and beyond, balancing deep cuts and beloved anthems, rarities and reprises. No two nights are ever the same - each performance stands as a work of art on its own, alive in its moment, while also fitting into the larger patchwork of the repertoire.

From soul-stirring ballads to rippin’ jams, Shakedown Citi doesn’t just play at being The Dead…they channel the energy through deep musicianship, tight harmonies, and fearless improvisation.

Whether you’re a Head from way back or just beginning your long strange trip, this is a show you won’t want to miss.

It's not just a tribute -it's the Dead reborn in real time..

Limited capacity! Don’t sleep on history.

The Ellis brings together leaders to begin an important conversation about what it takes to create sustainable cities.

What does a truly sustainable city look like?

How do we create places that are healthier, greener, more walkable, more connected, and ultimately more human?

As the Hudson Valley experiences unprecedented growth, these questions are becoming increasingly urgent. More people are choosing communities outside of New York City, seeking a different way of living—one that values nature, local businesses, meaningful public spaces, and stronger neighborhoods over congestion and constant acceleration.

The Human-Centered Cities: An Introduction is an evening designed to bring together the people shaping that future.

Architects. Urban planners. Developers. Builders. Environmental organizations. Conservationists. Engineers. Designers. Municipal leaders. Brokers. Investors. Educators. Entrepreneurs. Community advocates. Curious citizens.

Together we'll hear from a keynote speaker exploring the future of sustainable urban design, resilient communities, regenerative architecture, and the next generation of human-centered cities.

More importantly, we'll create space for conversation.

The best ideas rarely emerge from presentations alone—they emerge from the unexpected conversations afterward. This summit is an opportunity to meet the people already working toward a more sustainable Hudson Valley, exchange ideas, discover collaborators, and imagine what's possible when different disciplines come together around a shared vision.

We've invited organizations and leaders from across the region—including environmental nonprofits, sustainable architecture firms, developers, planners, municipalities, universities, and civic organizations—to begin building a stronger network dedicated to the future of our communities.

Whether your work focuses on housing, transportation, ecology, construction, public policy, renewable energy, placemaking, or simply imagining better ways to live, this evening is for you.

Because the future isn't somewhere else.

It's being built here.

Join us.

OUT OF THE BOX 2: Far From Nirvana comes to the Ellis in August

NEWBURGH, NY — The Empty Head Theater Company proudly presents Out of the Box 2: Far From Nirvana a new play by Jack Rushton. The two-week presentation reinforces EHT’s commitment to original theater celebrating new voices, bold ideas, and innovative storytelling.

Performances will take place August 20, 21, and August 27, 28, 29 at The Ellis, 60 Dubois Street, Newburgh, NY.

This year, Out of the Box 2 features the full-length play Far From Nirvana by Jack Rushton, developed through The Empty Head Theater Company's collaborative workshop process:

Together, this work explores contemporary social, cultural, and personal issues through comedy, satire, fantasy, and drama. The play offers a unique perspective while reflecting the company's commitment to producing theater that is entertaining, thought-provoking, and rooted in today's world.

Unlike a traditional theater festival, Out of the Box emphasizes script development. Throughout the summer, playwrights, directors, actors, and designers collaborate to refine each script before it’s fully staged premiere. The result is an exciting evening of fresh theatrical voices and stories that continue to evolve through the creative process.

The production opens on Thursday, August 20 and concludes with a Closing Reception following the performance on Saturday, August 29, where audience members are invited to meet the playwrights, director, cast, and creative team for an informal evening of conversation and celebration.

The Empty Head Theater Company is Newburgh's resident ensemble dedicated to producing new plays, contemporary comedy, and socially relevant theater with a slightly offbeat twist. Based at The Ellis, the company develops original work through collaboration among playwrights, actors, directors, and designers, creating theater that is inventive, engaging, and distinctly Hudson Valley.

Get hands-on with AI agents and learn how to automate your daily workflows like a pro!

Everyone's talking about AI agents. Most people still can't say what one actually is, or how it's different from a chatbot.
This session clears that up. We'll cover what an AI agent really is, how it makes decisions and uses tools, and where automation pays off versus where it just adds noise. Then a live build: one agent doing a real task, start to finish, so you can see the moving parts instead of just hearing about them.
This is the first in a monthly series. Future sessions go hands-on: setting up your own environment and building agents around a process in your own business or life.
You'll leave knowing:
• What an AI agent is, in plain terms
• How agents use tools, memory, and decisions to get work done
• Where to start automating, and what to skip
• What to bring if you want to build alongside us next month
Who it's for: Business owners, builders, and anyone curious about AI. No technical background required.
Format: ~60 minutes, talk plus live demo plus Q&A. Optional setup session after for anyone who wants a head start.
Free to attend. Seats are limited.
Hosted by Michael Frostbutter
