A third generation Woodstocker\, his family established roots in the village in 1942\, drawn then as now to Woodstock’s beauty\, culture\, and diverse artistic community\, which owes so much to the legacy of Byrdcliffe. About 15 years ago Ben had the pleasure of joining the Byrdcliffe board\, on which he served for nine years. His time on the board was formative and enriching; further instilling a life-long love of Byrdcliffe and the Woodstock Community. In his professional life\, Ben has been fortunate to serve in several leadership roles at prestigious institutions. With a degree in Urban Studies from Vassar College\, followed by graduate work in Urban Planning at Columbia University\, Prosky has devoted his career to a range of projects dedicated to the promotion and interpretation of architecture and urbanism. \nIn 2023 Ben was named President of the Richard Hampton Jenrette Foundation whose mission is to advance education\, stewardship and innovation in historic preservation through the support of scholars\, educators\, curators and crafts people.

She holds a BFA from Cooper Union\, an MFA from Rutgers University\, and studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her work has been the subject of over twenty solo exhibitions at the Museum of Sex\, New York\, NY; P·P·O·W\, New York\, NY; White Columns\, New York\, NY; MASS MoCA\, North Adams\, MA; Pamela Salisbury Gallery\, Hudson\, NY; and Art Omi\, Ghent\, NY\, among others.

SUMMARY:The Fugs: Celebrating the 60th Anniversary Year of Their First Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Fugs was one of the leaders of the underground scene of the 1960s and became an important part of the American counterculture of that decade. The group is known for its comedic\, even lewd\, nature but also earned fame through its persistent anti-Vietnam War sentiment during the 1960s. \nEd Sanders came up with the idea that became the Fugs in late 1964.He has led the Fugs in the years since\, through 58 years of albums and performances. The Fugs have had their current line-up since 1985. \n\nByrdcliffe is excited to welcome back The Fugs for two performances in celebration of the 60th anniversary of their first concert. \npurchase tickets for Friday’s performance \npurchase tickets for Saturday’s performance \n\n  \n \n\n\n\nAbout the band: \nSteven Taylor collaborated on poetry and music works with Allen Ginsberg for 20 years. Other long-time collaborators include Kenward Elmslie\, Anne Waldman\, Ed Sanders\, and Tuli Kupferberg\, as well as choreographer Douglas Dunn (Bessie Award nomination for best sound design 2015). He joined the Fugs in 1984. His poems\, essays\, reviews\, and songs have been published via magazines\, anthologies\, and albums. He holds a PhD in music from Brown University. His book False Prophet: Field Notes from the Punk Underground was published by Welseyan UP in 2003. His most recent publications are Don’t Hide the Madness: William S. Burroughs in Conversation with Allen Ginsberg (Three Rooms Press)\, and William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience (Ace Records). \nEd Sanders — founder and singer-songwriter — invents musical instruments such as the Talking Tie and the microtonal Microlyre. One of Sanders recent books\, illustrated by Rick Veitch\, is Broken Glory\, the Final Years of Robert F. Kennedy. Sanders is primarily a poet whose collected poems\, Thirsting for Peace in a Raging Century won an American Book Award in 1988.  He has written biographies in verse of Charles Olson\, Allen Ginsberg\, and Anton Chekhov.  He is the author of a 9-volume America\, a History in Verse\, and a investigative history of the Manson group\, The Family\, which is in print in a number of countries. \nSteve Taylor— vocals and guitars — his beautiful voice gives the Fugs outstanding vocal qualities on tunes set to the poems of William Blake and classics such as “Crystal Liaison\,” “Slum Goddess\,” and “Morning Morning.” Taylor is a professor of writing at Naropa University in Boulder Colorado\, and a noted composer who performed with Allen Ginsberg for many years. His string quartet setting to Allen Ginsberg’s poem “White Shroud” is an important 20th century poetry composition. \nCoby Batty— drums\, percussion and vocals.

He has developed an outstanding career as a recording artist\, producing a sequence of acclaimed records. \n\n\n\n\nThe Story of The Fugs First Concert \n\n \n\nRight around the time that Tuli and I decided to form a singing group of poets\, an idea had formed in my noggin— open a bookstore! I could place my mimeograph machine there\, and great poet Allen Ginsberg and I had been discussing forming a Committee to Legalize Marijuana\, which I thought could be run from the bookstore. I started looking for a storefront to rent in the Lower East Side. I intended to call it the Peace Eye Bookstore. \nI was a new father\, had family obligations\, and needed to have a source of income beyond weekends at the Times Square cigar store where I worked the late-night shift. I could put my mimeograph machine there\, and create a cultural facility and the world’s first mimeo print center as well.  \nI signed a two-year lease for Peace Eye on November 10\, 1964. The first year was $50 a month; which went to $60 for the second year.  \nThere was much group singing among my friends from the peace and Civil Rights movements\, and many an acquaintance had a guitar at the ready in their apartments. \nI had been inspired by a benefit for the General Strike for Peace at which an unknown singer with a harmonica wired to his face named Bob Dylan had wowed the crowd at the Living Theater on 6th Avenue.  \nWe began rehearsing at the Peace Eye Bookstore.  Our afternoon rehearsals at Peace Eye became packed with our friends who wanted to savor our songs. Tuli and I added the musical duo of Steve Weber and Peter Stampfel  (also performed The Holy Modal Rounders)\, so we now had a five-man ensemble. \nOur first concert was at the March ’65 opening of Israel Young’s famous Folklore Center at its new location on 6th Avenue and West Third Street in NYC.  The night before our first concert\, Ken Weaver’s buffalo hide drum was stolen during a break-in at Peace Eye\, so for our World Premiere Ken performed with a drum made out of a cardboard Krasdale peach box!!! \n– Ed Sanders \n\n\n\n\nThe Fugs – Celebrating the 60th Anniversary Year of their First Concert\nByrdcliffe Barn | 485 Upper Byrdcliffe Road\, Woodstock\, NY. \nFriday\, August 22nd\nSaturday\, August 23rd\nDoors open at 7:30 pm\, concert at 8 pm. \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS:\n$30/person WBG members\n$35/person not-yet-members\n$35/person at doorpurchase tickets for Friday’s performance \npurchase tickets for Saturday’s performance \nQuestions: 845.679.2079

SUMMARY:Growing Up in the Woodstock Generation… In Song with Marc Black
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Marc Black\, NY Blues Hall of Fame Inductee\nFeaturing Multi-Media Design by Susan Black\nSpecial Guest Michael Esposito (Swami Salami) \nCome together for an evening of timeless music\, heartfelt memories\, and the undeniable spirit of the Woodstock Generation. \nPurchase tickets: https://bit.ly/4mYzPZd \nTake a heartfelt\, humorous\, and musical journey back in time with acclaimed singer-songwriter Marc Black in this unforgettable two-person show that celebrates the spirit\, culture\, and music of the Woodstock Generation. \nPart concert\, part storytelling\, and part visual time capsule\, Growing Up in the Woodstock Generation is a multi-dimensional experience designed to entertain\, enlighten\, and evoke nostalgia. Much like Marc’s acclaimed “History of the 1950s and ’60s Through Popular Song\,” this program dives deep into the transformative decades of the ’60s and ’70s—where music wasn’t just the soundtrack to our lives\, but a driving force behind social change\, spiritual exploration\, and a new way of seeing the world. \nMarc serves as both your musical guide and cultural historian\, performing iconic songs of the era—alongside his own originals—with warmth\, wit\, and wisdom. Each song is artfully framed with vivid storytelling\, transporting audiences to a time of flower power\, protest\, poetry\, and personal awakening. Expect laughter\, reflection\, and spontaneous singalongs. \nThe show is enhanced by a sparkling multi-media presentation by Susan Black\, weaving together archival images to create a rich\, immersive experience that captures the spirit of the times. \nAnd it all comes to life on Claudette\, Marc’s beloved guitar of 50 years\, a constant companion on his musical journey. \nMarc also shares captivating personal anecdotes\, including tales from his high school band’s rise to the Top 40 and tours with legends like The Doors\, Van Morrison\, and Neil Diamond. These moments add a rare and intimate behind-the-scenes glimpse into the rock ‘n’ roll era. \nWhether you lived through it or wish you had\, this event is a tribute to the joy\, struggle\, and soul of a generation that redefined music—and the world. \nDoors: 7 PM | Show: 7:30 PM\n$20 WBG members | $25 Not-yet-members \nPurchase tickets: https://bit.ly/4mYzPZd
