Photos of New York's punk era, and the soul of Robert Cray are among our round-up of Hudson Valley events for the week of March 25-31.
Robert Cray
March 29 at Infinity Hall
Robert Cray’s music has always been marked by its sinewy, soulful side, but on the bluesman’s most recent album, 2020’s That’s What I Heard, that vibe comes to the fore. “I thought if it we could get this thing that Sam Cooke used to have, the kind of sound that early Sam Cooke records had, that we could pull this off,” says producer and current Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan. The guitarist and singer, perhaps best known for his 1986 breakthrough hit “Smoking Gun,” comes through for this sweltering evening. (Shemeika Copeland sings March 14; the Adam Ezra Group is back March 23.) 7pm. $85. Norfolk, Connecticut.
“Low Fidelity”
March 9-31
Photographer Bobby Grossman captured the birth of punk in Downtown New York City in the 1970s. The New Gallery has curated a show of his work, "Low Fidelity," which will be exhibited at Time and Space Limited March 9-31. There will be an opening reception on March 9, from 5 to 9pm. The event will feature a vinyl and digital deep cut set by DJ Climax and a performance by New York City-based musician Ben Seretan. There will be live music in the gallery by Lulu Lewis on March 16 at 7pm, with a closing party on March 30.
“Satellite”
Through April 7 at Geary Contemporary in Millerton
Will Hutnik's highly lyrical solo show "Satellite" traces a line of of artistic questioning is a melodically inspired visual thrill. The exhibit, up through April 7 at Geary Contemporary in Millerton, propels us out of orbit and back again with his purposefully discordant painterly harmonies that gracefully blur the line between abstraction and representation.
