Thank you to the over 400 visitors who attended our Harmonies on the Hudson concert series this summer. We were fortunate to host four concerts featuring a number of diverse musicians. We hope you enjoyed!
The Friends of Clermont staff and board would like to send a sincere thank you to this year's sponsors, Bank of Greene County and Hudson Valley Credit Union.
The Wallpapers
We opened the series in May with The Wallpapers, a dynamic acoustic duo featuring powerhouse vocalist, Amy Serrago and multi-instrumentalist and producer, Yves Gerard. Together, the duo entertained our audience with a mix of original tunes and new takes on classic songs.
The Hammerhead Horns
We welcomed two musical groups in July, the first of which was The Hammerhead Horns. With music inspired by the New Orleans jazz scene, the group delighted our audience with energetic percussion, plunger-driven brass and blues-soaked vocal renditions of music by Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Bessie Smith, and Muddy Waters.
Yankee Brass Band
Later in July, we welcomed the Yankee Brass Band, a group of dedicated brass instrumentalists who hail from across the nation. For one week each summer, the Yankee Brass Band assembles for a series of live performances. Using painstakingly restored antique brass and percussion instruments from the mid-to-late nineteenth century, our guests got a taste of what audiences almost two centuries ago experienced during the "Golden Age of Bands."
Sova
We closed this year's series with Sova (Sophia Subbayya Vastek), a NYSCA-NYFA recognized composer and pianist with a uniquely soulful sound. She treated our audience to a truly one-of-a-kind experience through immersive and cinematic soundscapes.
We'd also like to thank everyone who purchased items from our pop-up shop. The proceeds from these sales support our mission of supporting Clermont State Historic Site. All of the merchandise featured in our pop-up shop is also available on our online gift shop.
