SUMMARY:Carsie Blanton in Concert: Creative Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Carsie Blanton in Concert: Creative Revolution         \nSaturday\, July 13 • 5 to 9 PM\nAn Intimate Summer House Concert Featuring\nAcclaimed Singer/Songwriter & Activist Carsie Blanton\nCelebrating the Birth of The Kirkside Virtual Food Hub\n\nTickets: $55 for Local Summer Picnic and Concert\nCash Bar Featuring Local Beers & Spirits\nHappily accepting donations for the Kirkside Virtual Food Hub\n\nOnly A Handful of Tickets Left! Tix on sale until 3 PM!  \nBUY TIX NOW!\n  \n\nA Reveling Rebellion\nThe word Spillian means to revel in Old English. It comes from the same root word as rebel and frivol…delightful reveling rebellion is in our blood. This summer\, in the mountains that have birthed protest music that has changed the world\, we’re offering a unique chance to rebel with piped piper extraordinaire\, Carsie Blanton. \nAnd in that spirit\, we’d like to celebrate a small but important bit of rebellion fighting against the corporatization and globalization of the food industry: an emerging project to bring our Catskills farmers\, restaurateurs\, and hoteliers so we can all thrive. The Kirkside Virtual Food Hub will break the craziness of food going from Delaware County to NYC just to come back for sale\, and build truly fresh\, truly local food\, its story and connections to our residents and visitors so we all can thrive. The Kirkside Virtual Food Hub is a brainchild of The MARK Project and its flagship effort to invent new ways to bring community and visitor resources together in learning and play at the Inn at Kirkside. \n5 PM: Join us for a summery picnic featuring flavors from our local farms by our Chef Christian Van Etten\, featured local beers and cocktails\, and exciting news about the Virtual Food Hub. \n7 PM: Carsie and her fab cat bass player will join us for a 7 PM show that will have you roaring to change the world. \nThe Menu! \n\nGreek Lemon Potato Salad with Mint (V | VG | GF)\nSmoked Pulled Pork Sliders on House-Made Parker House Rolls\, Red Onion Jam\, Kimchee & Arugula\nZucchini Fritters with Smoked Trout\, Corn Crema\, Pickled Scallions (GF)\nZucchini Fritters with Smoked Carrot\, Corn Crema\, Pickled Scallions (V | VG | GF)\nSweet Sesame & Lime Cabbage Salad (V | VG | GF)\nElote Charred Corn Salad (V | GF)\nChef Christian’s Bruschetta Salad with House-Made Baguettes (V | VG | GF without baguettes!)\nBlackberry Corn Cobbler (V )\n\nFeatured Cocktail: The Trout Tale \nLocal vodka\, mint from our garden\, seltzer\, and a splash of local maple syrup. \n  \n\nThe Music: Carsie Blanton\n \nCarsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks\, chutzpah\, and revolutionary optimism. “It is possible to face the world as it is – rapidly heating\, ruled by grifters\, ravaged by profitable wars – and still have hope\,” she says of her newest release\, After the Revolution\, produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester. “Not the narrow\, grasping hope you might hang on an election or a billionaire\, but a patient\, zoomed-out hope.” Inspired by artist-activists including Nina Simone and Woody Guthrie\, her catalog careens through American popular song from folk and swing to pop-punk protest anthems. \nWith her unique mix of humor\, craft\, and social critique\, Blanton has amassed a small menagerie of viral hits (Rich People\, Shit List\, Fishin’ With You) and a dedicated fan base. In addition to fifteen years on the road with her band\, Blanton volunteers as a political organizer\, and was recently published in The Nation.  \n“Beautiful\, militant anthems.” – Ken Tucker\, NPR’s Fresh Air \n“Carsie Blanton is fighting fascism with big hooks and an even bigger heart.” – American Songwriter \n\nThe Kirkside Virtual Food Hub\nA next-gen vision for how our local farmers and our local restaurants can strengthen one another and the region. For over 150 years\, the Catskills’ economy has been largely driven by independent small farmers and hoteliers. In this era of corporate food\, it has become very (even at times absurdly) difficult for restaurants to get food from local farms onto their tables\, despite best intentions and efforts. The Kirkside Virtual Food Hub will be a solution to this: bringing these communities together with a powerful set of digital and transportation tools that will build connections and resources\, including: \n\nDevelop forecasting tools for farmers to anticipate restaurant needs and plant to order rather than on spec\, removing a layer of farming risk and building their resilience.\nStrengthen restaurateurs’ abilities to elegantly reflect the seasons and terroir of the Catskills in their menus and better understand and reflect the stories of this place and why local food matters.\nCut the ‘grow in the Catskills\, ship to NYC and ship back to the Catskills’ current distribution channels and provide direct transport of local foods to local tables in the moment at peak freshness.\n\nThis is an initiative of the Inn at Kirkside\, a flagship effort by the regional community foundation\, the MARK Project\, transforming the historic Kirkside Estate into a hotel/restaurant with an integrated educational program that provides experiential learning to aspiring professionals in the hospitality and tourism industries\, encourages and cultivates entrepreneurship\, serves as a model of green technologies\, and supports the local food producing system. You can check out the Virtual Food Hub visioning plan here! \nSpillian is proud to be partnering with the Virtual Food Hub; we believe that it’s a seriously cool vision to strengthen the area\, both economically and culturally\, and build environmental and social equity for our local community. \nBUY TIX NOW!

Thank you! \n\nSpillian’s Meadow\nThree years ago our first SpillianFest introduced the public to “The Meadow\, ” our gorgeous outdoor stage built into the old stone foundation of one of the original Spillian buildings. It was a revelry attended by more than 500 guests. Since then our magical meadow has hosted weddings\, workshops\, and gatherings. We’ve added a pretty spiff rustic pavilion for the bar\, made from trees on the property\, the bonfire pit\, and lighting to shape the woods around us. \n\nThe Music\nLara Hope & The Arktones\n \nFresh off from touring with the Brian Setzer Orchestra! Winner of the 2017 Ameripolitan Music Award for Best Female Rockabilly Artist\, and named the “Best Up-And-Coming Band” by Hudson Valley Magazine\, Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones are New York’s premier “Roots Rock n’ Roll & Rockabilly Twang” outfit. They released their 2nd full length album\, “Love You to Life”\, in August 2017\, and have been hitting the road hard\, spreading the gospel of American music wherever they go. Describing their sound\, Hope explained to Rockabilly Online “I would say we are a new take on an old sound. It’s been described as ‘pan-americana’ which means we use many areas of early rock and roots music as a creative launchpad. Where it goes from there is anyone’s guess\, because while we appreciate old music\, we don’t want to write songs that have already been written.” \nThey’ve built a great network of venues in the US by touring heavily\, and like many American bands\, they have gained supportive fans and excellent press overseas as well. They recently completed their first European tour\, successfully spending the month of April 2018 in Belgium and Holland. Hope was featured on the cover of UK Rock n’ Roll magazine in March 2015\, and New York’s Ulster Magazine in March 2016. The band has had the privilidge of playing with many of their musical heroes including Joan Jett\, Tiger Army\, Gary US Bonds\, Dale Watson\, Big Sandy\, Wayne Hancock\, and America\, among others\, and has performed at at a variety of national festivals including Viva Las Vegas\, Ink n Iron\, and The Nashville Boogie. They spent the summer of 2018 on tour in support of The Reverend Horton Heat and The Blasters\, and Nov/Dec on the road Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas Rocks Tour. \nMore on Lara Hope & The Arktones… \n  \nThe Dylan Doyle Band\n \n\nBack for his fourth year headlining SpillianFest! Southern born\, Northern raised \, Dylan Doyle has been steeped in everything from Bob Dylan\, Wes Montgomery\, and Bill Withers to John Prine\, Jimi Hendrix\, and The Band.  From this comes a unique musical interpretation that lies somewhere within the delta of Roots\, Rock\, and Jazz\, giving him a style that defies classification. \nTouring nationally since age 15\, Dylan became a seasoned professional at a very young age.  He has played with such notable musicians Rob Stoner (Bob Dylan\, Don Mclean)\, John Platania (Van Morrison\, Natalie Merchant)\, Ben Cauley (Otis Redding) and Bill Payne (Little Feat).  Stoner called Dylan one of the most prodigious players he has known with abundant natural talent.  John Platania has referred to Dylan as “The Future.”  Ben Cauley\, after playing with Dylan in Memphis said\, “Dylan Doyle sounds like a young Jimi Hendrix.”  In the words of Bill Payne upon sharing the stage\, “Music is a conversation.  Dylan spoke beautifully and was listening to the musicians around him.  His play was imaginative and original.” Attesting to Dylan’s versatility\, Dylan has played the King Biscuit Blues Festival three consecutive years as well headlining the Grateful Garcia Gathering\, the largest Grateful Dead festival in the Midwest. Dylan consistently packs houses around Europe and the United States. \n\nMore on the Dylan Doyle Band…\n

John has performed solo for countless funerals and weddings\, but is also always ready to get the party started with jigs\, reels and rock & roll. In John’s hands\, the bagpipes will get your feet dancing as well as your tears flowing. An ancient Scottish proverb speaks to the raw power of the ancient instrument – “12 Highlanders and a bagpipe make a rebellion”. No other musical implement inspires such courage in battle\, joy in celebration or anguish in mourning. Johnny’s mighty drones shall rock your bones! \n  \nBrasskill\nBrasskill is the Hudson Valley’s party brass band. Based in Hudson\, NY and founded in the Spring of 2018\, Brasskill brings funky decibels to parties\, festivals\, parades and other merry gatherings in the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas. Brasskill’s music ranges from New Orleans second line tunes to punk and pop covers as well as Latin grooves — and is guaranteed to get your party out on the dance floor.\nMore on Brasskill… \n\nThe Dylan Doyle Band\n \n\nBack for his fifth year headlining SpillianFest! Southern born\, Northern raised \, Dylan Doyle has been steeped in everything from Bob Dylan\, Wes Montgomery\, and Bill Withers to John Prine\, Jimi Hendrix\, and The Band.  From this comes a unique musical interpretation that lies somewhere within the delta of Roots\, Rock\, and Jazz\, giving him a style that defies classification. \nTouring nationally since age 15\, Dylan became a seasoned professional at a very young age.  He has played with such notable musicians Rob Stoner (Bob Dylan\, Don Mclean)\, John Platania (Van Morrison\, Natalie Merchant)\, Ben Cauley (Otis Redding) and Bill Payne (Little Feat).  Stoner called Dylan one of the most prodigious players he has known with abundant natural talent.  John Platania has referred to Dylan as “The Future.”  Ben Cauley\, after playing with Dylan in Memphis said\, “Dylan Doyle sounds like a young Jimi Hendrix.”  In the words of Bill Payne upon sharing the stage\, “Music is a conversation.  Dylan spoke beautifully and was listening to the musicians around him.  His play was imaginative and original.” Attesting to Dylan’s versatility\, Dylan has played the King Biscuit Blues Festival three consecutive years as well headlining the Grateful Garcia Gathering\, the largest Grateful Dead festival in the Midwest. Dylan consistently packs houses around Europe and the United States. \n\nMore on the Dylan Doyle Band…\n

Growing up 30 minutes to NYC fueled her interest in art\, music and anything a little off center\, and her college years were consumed with escaping into museums and attending free performances by creators of dance\, art and film in the lofts in Greenwich village. She studied Theatre and Education  but spent most of her time in the dance studio. Moving through many careers in creative fields\, she was seeking a new adventure\, and a friend suggested Karen enter her field and become a hair stylist. She apprenticed in NJ with a European influence in techniques. Upon her arrival in the Catskills\, she discovered both salon clients and destination weddings (she’s one of the hottest stylists in the region!). Karen continues her ongoing education in NYC and travels New York state styling hair and makeup. She says\, “People are my fuel and opportunity to style individuals from all over the world makes life in the country rich.” Learn more here… \n  \nAbout Singer Andy Cahill\n Andy Cahill began her career performing in the cabarets and clubs of Chicago\, and when she moved to New York\, she attracted a loyal following. Andy sang in many of the top nightspots in Manhattan including The Duplex\, Reno Sweeney\, and The Ballroom. Though she was on track to become a significant name in cabaret\, Andy realized it was more important at that point\, to concentrate on her family and took a “day gig.” For the next 15 years\, she was a Talent Coordinator\, first\, for a top corporate production company\, and then – her own company\, Cahill Artists.  Andy focused on corporate entertainment and booked great artists including Ray Charles\, Lena Horne\, Reba McIntyre and Barbara Cook. This experience taught Andy how to listen to great singers – and was instrumental in her development as an artist. Andy is singing again with a much more in-depth understanding of both the music and the lyrics. Her repertoire has expanded\, and\, because of the years in the music business along with amazing musicians who whom Andy is privileged to be working\, the range of music is endless. Music is back to being the expression of joy it was at the beginning. \n  \nAbout Pianist Adam Ippolito\n \nAdam Ippolito’s career as a pianist spans over 40 years. He recorded and played with John Lennon\, Kool & The Gang\, Chuck Berry\, Cissy & Whitney Houston\, James Moody and many others. In addition\, Adam played for The Joffrey Ballet and Broadway shows including “Dancin’” and “Grease.” He was a member of the rock bands Elephants Memory and Pig Iron\, both of which had recording contracts with Apple and Columbia Records. Adam was a member of John Lennon’s band for two years over which time he recorded many song and albums along with appearing several times in both videos and on television; and was the keyboardist for the famed One to One John Lennon\, Yoko Ono concert at Madison Square Garden. The Elephants Memory album for Apple Records was produced by John Lennon. From the 70s to the 90s\, Adam was a studio musician recording with John Lennon\, Chuck Berry\, Kool & The Gang and many other artists of different genres. Love/Zager Productions who handled The Spinners\, Cissy Houston\, and Ronnie Dyson along with several other great R&B artists engaged Adam as both a songwriter and a producer. In recent years\, Adam has participated in the Fest for Beatles Fans and performed at The Iridium\, The Cutting Room and Joe’s Pub in NYC.. Currently\, he is performing in the Catskills as a sole and in collaboration with the jazz song stylist\, Andy Cahill. His CD is available on iTunes\, YouTube\, and other digital venues. \nAbout Prohibition Distillery\nLocated in the historic town of Roscoe\, New York\, Prohibition Distillery was inspired by the history of the United States\, the peoples will\, and the art of libations itself. Their flagship product\, Bootlegger 21 NY Vodka\, has won six international medals\, including the only Gold medal at the NYISC; The Fifty Best American Vodka Competition; and Prohibition was recently named to a list of the Top 5 global craft vodkas by Travel and Leisure Magazine.

And it can set your feet to dancing as if they’ve got their own will. This year\, you can find your way to Spillian’s hidden meadow and find that music for yourself.\n\n\n \n\n\nSongs of toil\, of love\, of hard-won joys\, thrumming with the life of this land and of the people who have made it home. Three bands\, forged from these mountain’s rocks and dirt\, from sunshine\, snows\, and blooming hawthorns.\n\n• The high lonesome tenor of Bill Duke and the Hyzer Hillbillies.\n• The twanging wit of the mountain men of Yard Sale.\n• The wipe-your-soul-clean driving blues of guitar-phenom Dylan Doyle and his band. \n\nCome for the music of the Catskills.

It was a revelry attended by more than 500 guests. Since then our magical meadow has hosted weddings\, workshops\, and gatherings. This summer\, we’re thrilled to introduce a new rustic pavilion\, handcrafted from trees from the property. \n  \n\nThe Music\nAbout Bill Duke and the Hyzer Hillbillies\n\nA local favorite folk and bluegrass group\, led by Bill Duke and his high lonesome tenor. \nThe Hyzer Hillbillies caught their name rolling down Hyzer Hill in Delaware County\, and finesse a combination of covers and original songs including the hit single “Hickster Man” on guitar\, banjo\, harmonica\, various things to drum on\, and the occasional shovel. Hey\, it’s Delaware County! There are two rocks for every dirt…everybody needs a shovel… \n  \n  \n\nAbout Yard Sale\n \nRoots experimentalists in the tradition of the Band\, Neil Young\, Dr. Dog\, and The Avett Brothers\, Yard Sale’s fluent playing and roughhewn\, uncorrected vocal virtuosity often transcends folk\, approaching the sop \nhistication of casual chamber music\, but always in the service of sturdy\, eccentric and emotionally stirring songs. Like the best of today’s smart indie Americana artists (including some of their Team Love Records label mates)\, Yard Sales plays freely with American myth\, haunted spirits\, and weird old styles but does so in a way that is less studied\, less groomed\, and more stylistically inclusive than many of their steadfastly retro peers. Learn more!  \n  \nAbout Dylan Doyle\n \nSouthern born\, Northern raised \, Dylan Doyle has been steeped in everything from Bob Dylan\, Wes Montgomery\, and Bill Withers to John Prine\, Jimi Hendrix\, and The Band.  From this comes a unique musical interpretation that lies somewhere within the delta of Roots\, Rock\, and Jazz\, giving him a style that defies classification. Touring nationally since age 15\, Dylan became a seasoned professional at a very young age.  He has played with such notable musicians Rob Stoner (Bob Dylan\, Don Mclean)\, John Platania (Van Morrison\, Natalie Merchant)\, Ben Cauley (Otis Redding) and Bill Payne (Little Feat).  Stoner called Dylan one of the most prodigious players he has known with abundant natural talent.  John Platania has referred to Dylan as “The Future.”  Ben Cauley\, after playing with Dylan in Memphis said\, “Dylan Doyle sounds like a young Jimi Hendrix.”  In the words of Bill Payne upon sharing the stage\, “Music is a conversation.  Dylan spoke beautifully and was listening to the musicians around him.  His play was imaginative and original. Attesting to Dylan’s versatility\, Dylan has played the King Biscuit Blues Festival three consecutive years as well headlining the Grateful Garcia Gathering\, the largest Grateful Dead festival in the Midwest\, and consistently packs houses around Europe and the United States. \n  \n\n

Steeped in the authentic sounds of blues and Americana — with influences as broad as the Mississippi river\, from Robert Johnson to John Lee Hooker\, from Buddy Guy to Bob Dylan\, The Band\, Bill Withers and Jimi Hendrix\, Dylan’s unique musical interpretation lies somewhere in the intersection of delta Blues\, Rock with just a taste of Funk that is uniquely his own. \nTouring since age 15\, Dylan has performed at the Grateful Garcia Gathering\, at the King Biscuit Blues Festival for the last 4 years\, and\, this year\, is planning his first European tour for early 2017.

Dylan joined the group Minstrel (Connor Kennedy\, Lee Falco\, Will Bryant\, and Brandon Moss) and me last September at The Falcon in Marlboro\, NY. He sat in on Little Feat’s “Dixie Chicken” that evening. His playing was flawless and inventive. Live performance is not about only playing a song but being aware of the conversation and flow of those you’re playing with. He spoke beautifully and was listening to what was going on around him.” — Bill Payne\, Little Feat  \n  \nAbout The Zydeco Revelators \n \nZydeco Revelators deliver hot Louisiana-style dance music.

A Julliard-trained classical clarinetist and jazz sax man\, he has worked with the likes of Charles Mingus and Eddie Shaughnessy. That’s all lovely. But then there’s the accordion…Connie can play pretty much any tune you can dream up and shares it with virtuosity and a twinkle in his eye. He’ll be starting SpillianFest off right this year\, taking requests as he wanders the grounds! \n[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
