RESERVATIONS

Please understand that
when a show is SOLD OUT,
it truly is! We must adhere to fire codes and it truly is not possible to fit "just one more"... especially when we have had several people ask to do
the same!
If a show at BRT has
an advance price &
a day-of-show price it means:
If you pre-pay OR call in your reservation any time before the show date, you get the advance price. If you show up at the door with no reservations OR call in your reservations on the same day as the show, you will pay the day-of show-price.
NOTE for prepaid tickets
or if reservations have been made but not pre-paid:
If you reduce the number of tickets requested or paid for at the box office on the night of the performance, that ticket must still be paid for! BRT requires 24 hour notice for cancellations or you will be charged for all seats reserved.

Dear Steve,
A great crowd came out and saw last week's band, The Fretless. And they rocked ... an amazing show. This week we bring in another act new to BRT, Spuyten Duyvil. They play "traditional songs arranged by the band for today's listener." One of the more exciting new bands I have heard in awhile. See for yourself ... I dare you.
As I said last week ... Remember that feeling when you go to see a show you are not sure of and then you are totally blown away? This Saturday will also be like that. Feel that feeling again.
And sign up for our Celtic stone carving class Oct. 3-4 or our roots music appreciation class with Duke Robillard on Oct. 4!
Please LIKE us on Facebook to get late-breaking news and really expensive gifts. Well, not that last one but definitely the first part... Please share what we do with your friends! https://www.facebook.com/BlackstoneRiverTheatre
Hope to see you soon...
Russell Gusetti, Executive Director

SPUYTEN DUYVIL (pronounced SPITEen DIEvul)
 Seeing a Spuyten Duyvil (pronounced SPITEen DIEvul) show for the first time has been described as "like throwing a cherry bomb into a lake ... It wakes you up." Dating back to the 17th century, the name Spuyten Duyvil originates from the Dutch settlers who gave the name to a creek that flowed around what is today the Marble Hill neighborhood in the Bronx. The New York band's brand of original and traditional American roots music blends old time, blues, bluegrass, and folk rock with a pinch of punk energy to create a uniquely modern mix. Led by songwriting couple Mark Miller and Beth Kaufman, this six-piece powerhouse has been bringing barn-burning energy to venues throughout the Northeast and Midwest. It's an exciting time for the Hudson Valley-based band. They have just released their 3rd CD, "The Social Music Hour Vol 1," a self-described love letter to Harry Smith's iconic "Anthology of American Music" featuring essential traditional songs popularized by Mississippi John Hurt, Elizabeth Cotten, Big Bill Broonzy, Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly and more, 'arranged by the band for today's listener.' Familiar, forgotten words find new meaning in this historically informed but thoroughly contemporary treatment. 2014 saw the band tour the Northeast, Midwest and Northern California with featured shows at Citi Field (formerly Shea Stadium), Winter's Eve at Lincoln Center, and The Philadelphia Folk Festival's main stage. The group features Beth Jamie Kaufman on vocals, Jim Meigs on harmonica, Lou Geser/Jagoda on drums, John Neidhart on bass, Rik Mercaldi on guitar, and Mark Miller on tenor guitar and vocals. Their new CD reached the #2 spot on the International Folk Radio Airplay chart and the Roots Music Report Traditional Folk Album Chart and Airplay Direct's Top 50 Americana/AAA Albums. In May, "The Social Music Hour Vol. 1" dominated the The Roots Music Report's Top 50 Contemporary Folk Song Chart taking the #1 and #2 spots.
Saturday, September 26, 8 P.M., $15.00
