A new free series at The Local curated by Mike Amari/Chosen Family in partnership with Wave Farm’s WGXC featuring Hudson Valley artists performing original music.
**Ongoing is a Coxsackie, NY based band that blends the folk tradition of storytelling with experimental psychedelic soundscapes, leaning into influences of early Fairport Convention and Neil Young. You can expect the raw sound of 70s cosmic country with electronic flourishes—each song its own world while maintaining the cohesive sound of friends playing music together. They are a scrappy and spirited bunch, with the aim of exploring the limits of each song live for all to hear! The band features lead vocals by Katie Jones, Adam Netsky of Maybird on drums, multi-instrumentalist Braden Bodensteiner and Jonathan Hudack on bass.**

**About Local Waves:**
“*We need to think small. We need to think local. When all the music ever created is a swipe away on your phone, it’s easy to miss the incredible original artists who are making and releasing music right here in the Hudson Valley. This series will serve as an expansion of the Local Waves radio show I co-created with WGXC (which plays all new, local music every Friday 8pm) to further highlight these acts with a free, monthly concert in a fantastic venue at The Local. I hope that folks will use this series as a way of discovering new artists, and getting to know their neighbors in the process.*” – Mike Amari
