"What makes Big Joe So Big?"

     "What makes Big Joe so big?  For sure he's a big talent.  Why does every venue in The Valley want Joe Fitz on their stage?  Because he's more than an entertainer, not just a pretty face with a harp in his mouth, not just a first class purveyor of the blues and roots tradition.  It's his soul, large, wide, real, and molasses sweet.  That's what attracts people.  He's one of those rare folks who you feel you are "in the presence of" and better off for it.  He isn't just singing for us.  He sings to the spirit that moves within him, this gentle man."      - Cafe Guide

Our Four Star review from Downbeat magazine. Thank you Frank-John Hadley.

A spirted good time in support of our beloved County Legislator from Rosendale, Manna Joe Greene. Music from Big Joe Fitz & friends, Betty & The Baby Boomers, Jim &Deb and more... There will be tasty treats from The Big Cheese and…hopefully… YOU. It will be a joyful evening of music, friendship and community. As I'm sure you know...politics takes money and there is a suggested donation of $25 if you can afford it, but absolutely no one will be turned away for lack of funds. We would love to see you there.

We're keeping it mellow, Acoustic Trio Style. The Towne Crier is one of the preeminent music rooms anywhere and we are delighted to return to their intimate Salon Stage in the happening City of Beacon. We're hoping to see some of our Westchester and southern Dutchess friends, Orange County, Putnam, even our NYC peeps as there's a Metro North stop conveniently nearby :)

Come one, come all and celebrate the days getting longer and warmer. Celebrate the joys of music, and friendship, and food…and gratitude for all the gifts we are blessed with. Amen. Reservations: 845-855-1300
