Laura Stevenson has been a solo artist for over a decade, but only now, with her fifth album, does she truly sound like one. The New York musician’s career began in the DIY ska-punk band Bomb the Music Industry! before she peeled off to write her own material, often with friends rallying behind her in her backing band, the Cans. But after releasing the indie-pop record Cocksure, in 2015, she got married, bought a house, and adopted a dog. It’s within these domestic comforts that Stevenson found the courage to confront her demons after years of lyrically hinting at them. The result is 2019’s The Big Freeze and 2021’s self-titled, records where Stevenson makes her voice and guitar the focus, basks in minimal orchestration, and dissects her past in hopes that she can, finally, detach herself from its grasp. -Pitchfork

Opus 40 Mushroom Foraging Walk
2023-06-11 10:00 - 14:00 | Opus 40, 50 Fite Road, Saugerties, 12477, United States
Sun June 11 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Landscapes are infinitely unique, especially in this part of the northeast. Join us at Opus 40 for a walk through the forest, and learn about the interwoven lives of organisms that make up the diverse Ecology of our region. “Everything is connected”, and in many cases this connection is facilitated by a group of organisms that are largely unseen. Let’s pull back the curtain to take a closer look at Fungi, and all the organisms and interactions that form the intricate, beautiful ecosystems we live in. We’ll also discuss how disturbance and heavy land use has affected local ecology.
Luke Sarrantonio grew up in Rosendale New York and spent much of his childhood exploring the surrounding landscape. It wasn’t until college at SUNY ESF (studying Forest Biology) that he truly discovered Fungi. After graduating in 2011, he was discouraged by the lack of learning resources around Fungi and Ecology and has been developing programming, mushroom farming, consulting and making medicinal products ever since.

The Mammals are Ruth Ungar, Mike Merenda, and a cohort of compelling collaborators who form a touring quintet on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, organ, bass, and drums. Over the past 20 years they have quietly composed a canon of original songs that both reflect our culture and offer a vision of how the world might yet be. “These days we sing about what we’re for over what we’re against,” says singer/songwriter, Mike Merenda, and what they’re for is “nothing short of sublime” according to (Americana UK).
