Denise Parent is a longtime member of The Deadbeats: a renowned, beloved Hudson Valley Grateful Dead cover band, known for their regular performances at Grand Cru in Rhinebeck, Keegan Ales in Kingston, as well as the Saratoga Springs and Albany areas.

Parent, who has deep roots in the Woodstock community, released her first solo album The Songs in My Heart in 2021. She approaches her solo songs from a rhythm and drummer perspective; moving it along so the musical bed is always dynamic and charging forward. Parent’s distinct soft vocals and thoughtful lyrics offer listeners a pleasing contrast. Though Parent has an overall folksy vibe, listeners will also enjoy her rock and blues sounds.

Due to mansion restoration work, this season of concerts will be held adjacent to the main parking lot, near the Arryl House ruins. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket, as seating will not be provided. Picnic dinners are welcome, but please leave your alcoholic beverages at home. Registration is recommended, but not required.
