On July 1, Bruce Dedrick will bring his Little Big Band back to the Depot for an evening of easy listening to the Swing Era music. The Little Big Band will take you back to a time when the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Benny Goodman came to you from your radio and the Lindy Hop and the Jitterbug ruled the dance floors. Bruce’s band has performed throughout the Northeast and their repertoire is extensive and versatile and their sound is second to none.
The Horseshoe Lounge Playboys with Randy Miritello return to the Depot on July 8 for a concert of acoustic backwoods and Americana rocking roots music. Randy is a hometown star and this concert is always a favorite with the audience.
The Horseshoe Lounge Playboys have played with Arlo Guthrie, Ricky Scaggs and Willie Nelson, and are a high energy, enthusiastic band that will have you clapping your hands and tapping your toes.
The Depot in Newark Valley is located on Depot Street and the doors open on Friday evenings at 6 p.m. with programs beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is free and refreshments are available. Weather permitting the musical programs will be outside, so bring a lawn chair.
