Woodstock Performance

Hello all,

Jay Crystall and I played a show with his friend Jim on Saturday, May 17th.

We arrived at the village of Woodstock in time to see the streets teeming with activity. Lots of colorful people and stores. The main plaza in the middle of town was was (as usual) overrun with an assortment of young people playing hacky-sack and devil sticks. Dreadlocks flying through the air.
(I'm a reggae rocker, do you love me?)

Woodstock tends to bring the hippie out in everyone. I remember spending many months up here with my dog. I even went so far as to attempt to put him on a vegetarian diet. I learned a very valuable lesson in that experience: making vegetarian dog food is much more trouble than it's worth.

We arrived and set up @ Joshua's, and were greeted quite warmly by Diana (pronounced Dee-Anna) who was busy drizzling oil on prepared breads. Jay, Jim an dI certinaly look forward to performing there again.

What is Artifications???

Artification’s mandate is to bring culture to Hoboken residents in the form of music, quality art, theatre, dance and performance art. In this wonderful city, there is a stunning shortage of art. Artification works with the Monroe center to bring visibility to Hoboken artists while also inviting quality artists to display their art in Hoboken.

American cities undergoing gentrification unknowingly marginalize artists. Through steep rents and a stifling lack of gallery space, artists are forced to look elsewhere for reasonable work and display spaces. In Hoboken, a city that embodies gentrification, Artification is working to reverse that trend, and bring art back to the Mile Square City.

We need your help to do this.
