“The greatest white female singer in the world."—Ella Fitzgerald
Let There Be Love: Treat your special one to a Valentine’s Day to remember with the legendary Marilyn Maye. At 96-years young, Maye is one of the living legends of the golden age of show business. “Marilyn Maye has everything. She can belt, and she can sing ballads with the kind of warmth that makes your heart smile. She has a theatrical flair that captivates and enthralls, and jazz-spiced chops that can reach notes most singers a third her age can't even hit in their dreams. She’s the real deal, the surviving artist of the American popular singer.” (New York Observer) Discovered by Steve Allen and beloved by Johnny Carson who featured her on The Tonight Show no less than 76 times, the magnetic cabaret singer returns to Hudson Hall for one night only.
“One of the most amazing evenings of music I’ve experienced…a sheets-of-sound extravaganza. Ribot brings a fire hose of invention, Taylor, a whirlwind of force…” —DownBeat on Grimes/Ribot/Taylor Trio
Marc Ribot is a musician’s musician. In his over 40-year career, the gifted guitarist has created iconic music with the likes of Tom Waits, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp, Marianne Faithful, and many more. For his Hudson Hall debut, Ribot reunites with drummer Chad Taylor to continue the Albert Ayler-tinged trajectory they begun in the early aughts with their band Spiritual Unity and then the Grimes Taylor Ribot Trio, this time with the added talents of former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg and the fearless guitarist/improvisator Ava Mendoza (Soul Coughing, Unnatural Ways, The Violent Femmes, tUnE-yArDs).
“When I first heard Sebastian Steinberg’s bass playing (withJoe Morris in the 1980’s), I thought: “THAT’s who I’m looking for: a gifted improviser, deep groove player, and totally original. We worked together in my band Shrek and other formats from the early 1990’s till Sebastian moved to LA, after forming Soul Coughing, and I’m thrilled to resume our collaboration. Ava Mendoza is the perfect person to round out this quartet —great soloist, sensitive ensemble player: a fearless guitarist/ improvisor who knows how to rock the house. We’re ready to take it to the next level.” – MARC RIBOT
Hudson Hall was built in 1855 as the City Hall for Hudson, New York. From its founding until the building was abandoned in 1962, the magnificent performance hall provided a space for some of the most exciting cultural, social and political events of the day. The great Hudson River School showed their paintings here, Bret Harte read his poems, musical prodigy Blind Tom Higgins captivated audiences, Ralph Waldo Emerson gave a talk titled “Social Aims,” and Susan B. Anthony visited thrice, lecturing to abolish slavery and rallying the cry for women’s suffrage. In 1914, Teddy Roosevelt even regaled a crowd.
Hudson Hall at the historic Hudson Opera House is driven by a civic and social purpose founded in the belief that culture is central to our shared heritage, identity, and future. Its mission is to inspire and promote the arts, play a pivotal role in the cultural and economic advancement of the city and the region, and maintain its historic building, all of which serves to strengthen and unite our community.
