Peter Asher & Jeremy Clyde (of Chad and Jeremy)
Saturday, June 17 at 7:30pm
Tickets: $40 ($45 at the door)
VIP Tickets: $110
Peter Asher (of Peter & Gordon) joins forces with Jeremy Clyde (of Chad &
Jeremy) to star together in an unforgettable evening of music and memories
featuring songs and stories from their sixties heyday as recording artists
to Jeremy’s success on stage, television (Downton Abbey) and film (The Iron
Lady) and Peter’s Grammy-Winning career as Producer and manager of the
likes of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and more.
Their respective British Invasion duos were collectively responsible for 30
Billboard chart hits. From the Chad & Jeremy catalog, they bring you
“Distant Shores”, “Yesterday’s Gone” “Willow Weep For Me”, “Before and
After”, “A Summer Song” and more. From the Peter & Gordon songbook comes
“Woman”, “I Go To Pieces”, “I Don’t Want To See You Again”, “Lady Godiva”,
“A World Without Love” and more.
Steve Smith of the Los Angeles Daily News sums up the evening: “The duo
oozed a refreshing abundance of natural English good humor and charm as
they told tale after tale from their fabled careers…their voices blended
seamlessly…(they) sound virtually identical even 50 years later.”
Peter will tell stories from his new book, “The Beatles: From A to Zed,”
based on his SiriusXM radio show “From Me To You,” on the Beatles Channel;
Jeremy regales with tales from Chad & Jeremy’s appearances on Batman and
the Dick Van Dyke show, and gives us a taste of his new series of CDs “The
Bottom Drawer Sessions.”
Don’t miss this special opportunity to hear the stories behind the lives
and music of these two legendary duos from the era that wiped clean and
drew again the face of popular culture.

Roost Restaurant and Union Arts Center are pleased to present two new exhibitions featuring the work of Andrea Baruffi and Suzanne Auer.
In Gallery 1, Andrea Baruffi showcases a collection of prints made from his original acrylic paintings. Baruffi’s artistic style is characterized by whimsy and humor. Many of the original acrylic paintings, from which the “Playful” series of art prints are made, range in size from 60″ x 80″ to 80″ x 80″. They are available for purchase directly from the artist’s studio, located two hours north of Florence. His work is widely exhibited throughout Italy.
Baruffi, a former illustrator and longtime resident of Piermont, returned to Italy after his retirement, having worked in New York for major advertising agencies and children’s book publishers. He received classical training in art at the prestigious Liceo Artistico in Bologna and holds a degree in architecture from the University of Florence. He cites Edward Hopper and Caravaggio among his favorite artists. To learn more about Baruffi and his work, visit Instagram page @andrea_baruffi_paintings.

Roost Restaurant and Bar is an American brasserie where co-owner Chef Kevin Reilly serves elevated fare, utilizing the freshest seasonal ingredients for a variety of exquisite meat, seafood, and vegetable dishes. In 2020, Roost moved around the corner from its initial Sparkill location to its present home inside the iconic Union Arts Center. The century-old firehouse was meticulously renovated in 2010 by Simon Basner and repurposed as a venue for multi- disciplinary artistic expression. When Roost leased and subsequently purchased the building, co-owner Maria Santini created a space which patrons often describe as having a cool, unique vibe and much more than just a place to dine – it’s an experience that is not soon forgotten.

June Latin Lounge with Flamenco with Romero
2023-06-21 17:00 - 22:00 | Nyack, NY, USA
Presented by Mz. Valentine, June’s Latin Lounge will showcase the return of flamenco with Romero!
This Latin Lounge will showcase singer and flamenco fusion guitarist Romero accompanied by Manuel Carro on vocals and percussion and noted Spanish flamenco dancer Elisabet Torras. Their last shows with us got raves and sold out fast — do not miss this one!
Romero is a virtuoso guitarist/composer. Born of a musical family, his mother is Grammy award winning artist Estela Raval. Romero started working early with some of world’s finest guitarists. His fiery guitar and sensual compositions are flavored with Latin and flamenco strains.
Romero’s compositions for Live at Trinity Church present intense and evocative music complimented by a lyrical style which is sure to influence aspiring guitarists for generations to come. The impassioned strains of Romero’s virtuosity, both as a guitarist and composer, offer listeners a vibrant and exhilarating sound.
Romero’s Un Segundo Una Vida brought his flamenco and Latin-based jazz to new realms with the addition of more complex orchestration and additional instrumentation; including the melodic strings of a chamber orchestra, and a wide array of penetrating vocals. Romero’s CD, Duende, hit number 6 on the Billboard charts (World Music).

WHAT HAPPENED TO JACKSON AVENUE: A Story of Urban Renewal

WHAT HAPPENED TO JACKSON AVENUE
A Story of Urban Renewal
A Documentary Film by Hakima Alem and Rudi Gohl
In the summer of 2019 Clara Francesca, Elise Stone, and Craig Smith from
Phoenix Theatre Ensemble were meeting with Bill Batson, Nyack community
leader, historian, and activist, outside in the Nyack parking lot next to
Main Street planning the Nyack performing arts festival. At one point Bill
standing in some empty parking spaces said, “This was Jackson Avenue, our
family house stood here” – thus began a 2-year journey leading to this
powerful documentary film about the urban renewal program in 1960’s Nyack.
“What Happened to Jackson Avenue, a story of urban renewal” covers an urban
renewal program that removed 125 families (79% Black). These families lost
their homes, families, community and generational wealth. The film includes
personal and emotional stories from individuals who were present and saw
the destruction of their community, some of whom are now in their 80s and
90s and want to be heard.
This screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
