Make a plan to spend a Sunday afternoon with friends, family or solo enjoying live music, great beer and cider, NYS wine and cocktails, good food, firepits, with a friendly atmosphere in Elizaville!

Summer is here, and it is time to prepare for our 5th annual Attica Community Remembrance Day in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Saturday, September 14th! This year’s theme is The Global Plague of the Power of the Naked Fist!

This theme is carefully chosen to echo the enduring struggle against systemic oppression. As we assemble, we will pay homage to the indomitable spirit of the Attica uprising, a watershed moment in the fight for justice, while simultaneously confronting the enduring injustices that afflict communities worldwide. Our gathering is not merely an act of passive remembrance but a defiant stance against the relentless grip of oppressive forces that continue to asphyxiate the marginalized and disenfranchised. The Attica uprising serves as a poignant reminder of the power of collective resistance—a resolute rejection of dehumanization and state-sanctioned violence.

Join us in community as we celebrate and remember the prisoners of the Attica Uprising!

The event will consist of:

• Free Food (Vegan and Gluten-Free options are available and limited)

• Free Performances presented by Lady Mae Entertainment and Callie Mackenzie

• Ways to get involved with local organizations across the Hudson Valley

• Speeches from Movement leaders

• Free Healing Clinic

• Free educational resources inspired and created by currently incarcerated community members

Celebrate the opening of Red Fox Ravine, a public ecological preserve and community space in the Wilbur neighborhood of Kingston. There will be musical performances by local bands, a plant walk through the preserve, a mushroom harvest, kids activities, a ribbon cutting ceremony and food/cold drinks!

FREEQUENCY--Hip hop and soul collective made up of Kingston locals who have captivated the Hudson Valley (including at last year’s Kingston Land Trust Fall Fest) with their words, beats, style, and heart. 
 

Pulso de Barro--Local band exploring folkloric music that will make you dance with members with familial connections to the land and people of Mexico (Veracruz), Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Lebanon, and the Rondout Valley! If you know the KLT, the conguero will be a familiar face. 
 

Callie Mackenzie--a Kingston-based musician, multidisciplinary artist, and organizer who, armed with a guitar, brings the audience on a smooth, soulful and sometimes funky journey of deep feelings about oppression, freedom, love, heartbreak, and mental health.  
 

Matthew O’Neill--A local band whose music combines elements of folk, rock, and world music to create a unique sound with lyrics that touch on themes of environmentalism, social justice, personal transformation, and celebrating the dynamic relationship between Mother Earth and all Creation, rooted in Indigenous ways. Their music invites listeners to reflect on their connection to the natural world and consider how they can play a role in protecting it. Matthew is also a member of the KLT Land Stewardship Team. 
 

Plant walk: KLT Land Steward Shanique Aladden will introduce us to plants as we walk through the preserve. The calcareous terrain is home to some unique plants such as the purple cliffbrake fern, wild oregano, maidenhair spleenwort, and wild ginger.

Community shiitake harvest and cookout: We will harvest shiitake mushrooms from the community log yard that was established by Luke and Kaya, with help from community volunteers, as part of their Eat More Mushrooms Project and cook them on the campfire!

TICKETING

PLEASE PURCHASE A SLIDING SCALE TICKET FOR THE GRAND OPENING. 
PARKING IS LIMITED AT THE PRESERVE SO TICKETS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND and we ask attendees to carpool with friends as they are able!  

All proceeds support our fundraising campaign to build more trails and improve trail accessibility at the preserve. 

THE STORY OF RED FOX RAVINE 

This land, centered around a historic limestone quarry, experienced a second period of intense disturbance five years ago. The KLT protected the first parcel of the preserve just after this, in early 2020, and we have since been working hard, inspired by the resilience of the land itself and with the support of the community, to protect additional land to expand the preserve (in collaboration with the Northeastern Cave Conservancy), and to clean up, revegetate, and make public access improvements at what has already become a treasured local park. [Performances will be taking place on a stage built by our land stewardship team in 2023, the quarry is being stewarded by us and the community, new art, revegetaing etc.etc]

FIRST ACOUSTICS PRESENTS DEIDRE McCALLA with special guest callie mackenzie

Deidre McCalla (she/her) - a Black woman, mother, lesbian, feminist - has long been in the forefront of Black musicians expanding the understanding of how Black folk can do folk. Deidre is riding high on her current release ENDLESS GRACE which dominated the June 2022 Folk Radio Charts as the #1 Album with the #1 Song - Shoulder To The Wheel and the #3 Song - I Do Not Walk This Path Alone, and finished for the year as the #13 Top Album on FAI Folk Radio. PopMatters, Rhythms Magazine, and the Folk Alley Listener Favorite’s Poll ranked ENDLESS GRACE among the 10 Best Folk Albums for 2022. In 2023 Deidre’s song Shoulder To The Wheel won the 19th Annual International Acoustic Music Award for Best Folk/Americana/Roots song.
Deidre learned at an early age that life begins with an acoustic guitar and her songwriting reveals an unyieldingly honest perspective expressed with a lyric touch that relentlessly celebrates the power and diversity of the human spirit.

callie mackenzie (she/they), a Hudson based musician, artist, and organizer, is passionate about poetry and music. Armed with a guitar, callie writes music with an acoustic soul feel that reflects their lived experiences as a Queer Black woman experiencing the quest for liberation and the every day feels of love, hope, joy, and loss.

Doors open at 2:30. Light refreshments will be served before performance

An amazing evening of music and film will be taking place to help support the 2024 Rosendale Street Festival.

The lineup includes:

Callie Mackenzie

Callie Mackenzie is a Hudson Valley-based musician, artist, and organizer who is passionate about poetry and music. Armed with a guitar, Callie writes music with an acoustic soul feel that reflects their lived experiences as a Queer Black woman experiencing the quest for liberation and the everyday feels of love, hope, joy, and loss.

The Gold Hope Duo

When Ameripolitan award-winning artist Lara Hope teams up with internationally touring, upright bass-slapping pro, Matt “The Knife” Goldpaugh, they become…LARA HOPE’S GOLD HOPE DUO! This husband and wife team is hitting it hard, spreading “Merry-Cana”, a term they coined to describe their genre. They will be bringing their unique brand of stripped-down, upbeat Americana, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Folk, Rockabilly, and a pinch of humor to a town near you! Living by the motto “If you can’t do it, kazoo it!”, this pair is sure to make you laugh, drink, dance, and grab your partners behind!

Joey Eppard

Joey Eppard is a true musical triple threat: an accomplished vocalist, a brilliant songwriter, and an innovative master of his own finger-style approach to guitar playing. He is the driving force behind the Hudson Valley-based rock band “3,” as well as a renowned solo performer, often leaving his audiences shocked that so much sound can emanate from a single human being. During his career, he has performed throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan, garnering a reputation for intense and passionate live performances that often leave his guitar with nary a string.

Circus of Wolves

Circus Of Wolves pitches a big open tent: inclusive enough to allow a group of distinct and diverse players to each express their own unique voice. The music brings together elements of folk, jazz, funk, Latin, soul, and a tinge of rock. The wolves are the players and the influences they bring to the circus. From the very beginning, the concept was to celebrate diverse musical influences. To borrow from the rock band format but not religiously follow its template. To mix styles together. To find a unique voice that people will recognize while incorporating different stylings, phrasings, and tones. To be electric and acoustic, natural and authentic.

The evening will also feature a short film about the 2023 Rosendale Street Festival created by HUDSY.

The weather at last year’s festival was a big challenge. There was a tornado warning and lots of showers on Sunday morning which deterred people from coming out. Unfortunately, the funds raised were lower than usual. To make the 2024 festival a reality some money needs to be raised to help cover expenses. 

Uncle Tony’s Tavern will feature great wine and local craft beer. There will also be a raffle featuring a membership to the Rosendale Theatre, gift certificates to Guts n Glory Tattoos, Victoria Gardens, and Ollie’s Pizza, tickets to the Woodstock Film Festival, and stays at Hasbrouck House and Mohonk Mountain House.

The 2024 festival will be taking place on July 20 and 21.

Checks and cash will be accepted as well at the event. Checks should be made out to Music Festival of Rosendale, Inc.. 

If you cannot attend, donations can also be sent to: Music Festival of Rosendale, Inc., P.O. Box 457, Rosendale, NY 12472.
