Hudson Valley Songwriters Showcase

Hudson Valley Songwriters Showcase is a monthly concert series focusing on the amazing array of songwriting talent in New York's Hudson Valley, from NYC to Albany, occasionally bringing in outstanding talent from outside the area as well.

Our goal is have fun, make music, encourage songwriters and serve the community by showcasing the best talent in various styles, including blues, jazz, r&b, soul, country, bluegrass, folk, punk, cabaret, rock and that great musical melting pot that's come to be known as Americana.

Our concerts are planned by our board, which consists of 5 community-minded songwriters:

Carl Bethge carlbethge@yahoo.com
Elly Wininger ellywin@hvc.rr.com
Jen Clapp jenclapp@optonline.net
Kurt Henry cherylkurt@aol.com
