GARRIN BENFIELD

We’re very excited to present Stephen Bluhm, a staple of the Hudson Valley music scene. Bluhm will perform music from his upcoming album, “Out of the Nowhere. Into the Here,” releasing on Friday, April 19.

“Although it’s not an easily classifiable genre of music, Stephen includes Nick Cave, Stephen Sondheim, and Burt Bacharach among his influences.” – Trixie Starr

“Sufjan Stevens meets Kurt Weill meets Stephen Foster.” – Tom Judson

“Stephen Bluhm’s album is a handcrafted labor of love, and it’s extremely good. The songwriting is powerful, the arrangements intricate and sublime, and while referencing a myriad of musical styles, it retains its own individual and engaging voice.”  – Chris Ewen

LEAH GUADAGNOLI / FANCY FEAST SUPPER CLUB

Fancy Feast Supper Club is a creative dinner series organized by artist, chef, and homesteader Leah Guadagnoli. She brings people together through homegrown, globally inspired vegetarian meals prepared from her garden with passion, love, and a genuine curiosity for the overlapping flavors and techniques our expansive universe has to offer. Through extensive research and an ethically conscious appreciation of other cultures through food, her goal is to celebrate our commonalities and unique differences to form connections and better understand the world we share.
