Fresh: liveLIVE! at Backstage Studio Productions

Backstage Studio Productions has been one of Uptown Kingston's coolest spots for years: an indoor space the size of a city block devoted to arts and entertainment. Lately, the Lounge at BSP, a performance space equipped with bar and wifi, has a fresh look and feel. The director of Loose Change came by to screen and discuss his latest film, there are Occupy Kingston meetings, and a Vaudeville Circus and Masquerade Ball is on tap for this weekend. Then there are the cutting-edge bands several nights a week. It's all the work of liveLIVE!, a foursome from Oneonta who've taken over the Lounge at BSP.

We spoke with liveLIVE!'s Daniel Sternstein about their vision for the space, and Kingston's burgeoning local music and culture scene.  Read more

Shandaken Pan Arts festival comes to a venue near you

Native Tongue Dance (Bill Barrett, lead singer, shown above with Maria Todaro at Mama's Boy in Phoenicia) headlines Saturday's Shandaken Pan Arts Festival kick-off. 

The Shandaken Pan Arts festival kicks off 10 days of music, art and writing in venues spread around the town of Shandaken with Native Tongue Dance getting things started this Saturday night at Phoenicia's The Arts Upstairs at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $5.

Highlights include studio visits, available by appointment all festival long (a complete list is available at the festival's website), a "bonfire rave" featuring a conch shell orchestra, and a performance by the Phoenicia choir to close the 10-day party, with events scattered in between that celebrate the area's history and prodigious creative output.

Correction: An earlier version of this story identified "Native Tongue" instead of "Native Tongue Dance" as the performers for Saturday night's festivities. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

Phoenicia rings in the holidays

A pair of medieval fiddles built by John Bromka, half of the Bells and Motley duo who will be playing at the Empire State Railway Museum this Saturday.

Something magical happens when a community actually celebrates together; when it’s
 not just going through the motions because that’s what you’re supposed to do, or simply
 what you have to do in order to make a few additional sales. That is not to say that 
shoppers aren’t being seriously courted here right about now. Merchants in Phoenicia, 
just like everywhere else, do need extra sales around Christmastime to keep their
 businesses solvent for the year.  Read more
