SUMMARY:The Fugs live at Byrdcliffe
DESCRIPTION:“I founded the Fugs with Tuli Kupferberg 59 years ago to combine music\, poetry\, topical themes\, and universal dancing!!! The Fugs are very much here and now\, and ready for a New World to blossom forth!!!”\n— Ed Sanders \nDo you know of The Fugs? If not\, then you should. \nThe Fugs began on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1964. Their music combined rock and roll\, humor\, and protest that documented the 1960s underground scene and the American counterculture of that decade. They  gained notoriety through touring\, their friendships with other countercultural figures\, and their participation in antiwar politics\, which included an attempt to levitate the Pentagon in 1967 as a protest of the Vietnam War. \nThe Fugs retired in 1969\, but re-formed in the mid-’80s and have performed and recorded regularly ever since. The current line-up includes founder Ed Sanders\, Steve Taylor on guitar\, Coby Batty on drums\, and Scott Petito on bass and keyboards. \nByrdcliffe is thrilled to welcome The Fugs to the historic Byrdcliffe Barn in Woodstock. In addition to two live performances\, we will also screen the 2025 “Fugs Film!” at the Byrdcliffe Theater. The documentary features archival footage and interviews with Ed Sanders\, Aline & R. Crumb\, Lenny Kaye\, Penny Arcade\, Jeffrey Lewis and more to tell the story of NYC’s original punks. A conversation with director Chuck Smith and Ed Sanders will follow the screening. \nPurchase tickets for Saturday\, 15 August concert \nPurchase tickets for 15 August FUGS FILM! screening/conversation \nPurchase Saturday package: FUGS FILM! screening and concert on Saturday evening

SUMMARY:An Evening with Tim Moore
DESCRIPTION:PURCHASE TICKETS \nByrdcliffe is pleased to welcome back musician Tim Moore for one night only. Moore’s sold-out 2025 concert was a highlight of Woodstock’s summer music season\, and this year the Woodstock resident returns with a new mix of songs and the same band. Respected as a top-tier writer by songsmiths ranging from Jimmy Webb to Keith Richards\, Moore is known for the stylistic reach of his songs\, from guitar rock and blues to heart-rending piano ballads. That nimble genre-crossing may help explain both his unusual career and his singular niche in music history. \nIn much of the world\, Moore is best known for his piano ballad “Second Avenue.” In Brazil\, he became a star with his number-one pop song “Yes.” His guitar riffs on his rock anthem “Rock and Roll Love Letter” sparked a friendship with Keith Richards\, leading to memorable all-night jam sessions with the Rolling Stones. Moore recalls\, “Locking in with Charlie Watts night after night was one of the great thrills of my life.” \nMoore’s many musical strands came together in last year’s Byrdcliffe concert. “There’s no theater anywhere like Byrdcliffe\,” Moore says. “It’s over a century old. You can do anything—be intimate or rocking and it fits. It feels like the ghosts of the place are listening.” Asked what might be different this time\, Moore says\, “My band was so sharp last year. Besides playing new songs\, and a surprise cover or two\, we might loosen up and jam more this time. Things could get grittier.” \nMoore’s band features longtime sideman Rob Stein on pedal steel and guitars\, Manuel Quintana on drums\, and Kyle Esposito on bass. Sarah Power and Bruce Milner will join for vocal harmonies. \nByrdcliffe members: $30\nNot-yet-members: $35\nPURCHASE TICKETS
