🎶 September is bringing some seriously good sounds to the Hudson Valley — genre-bending harp, legendary voices, indie favorites, outdoor festivals + plenty of reasons to make a night of it.

🪉 LOCAL ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Mikaela Davis

Mikaela Davis is taking the harp somewhere unexpected. The Catskill-based singer-songwriter blends folk, Americana, country, jam + psych-jazz into a sound that’s entirely her own. Her latest album, Graceland Way, leans into a dreamy, “canyon country” sound — while her live shows leave plenty of room for improvisation and surprise.

🏟️ VENUE SPOTLIGHT: Arrowood Farms

Arrowood Farms brings together a farm, brewery, distillery + live music venue on 48 acres in Accord. Its outdoor stage has hosted everyone from Waxahatchee and Kurt Vile to The Felice Brothers + Amy Helm.

🎬 There’s a movie thing happening in Catskill. And it’s pretty damn great...

Community Theater has brought the lights back on at this beautifully restored old movie palace—and folks are showing up.

🫶 Big screenings. Indie films. Cult favorites. Filmmakers + Q&As. Sold-out houses. People dressing up, talking movies, making friends and sticking around after the credits.

The recent premiere of Jane Schoenbrun’s "Teenage S*x and Death at Camp Miasma" starring Gillian Anderson pretty much said it all. A line stretched down Main Street hours before showtime. Inside: a packed house, horror clips, ambient music, film fans and a post-screening conversation with Schoenbrun and film star Hannah Einbinder .

Then everyone headed over to the Hi-Way Drive-In for more horror, little bonfires, s’mores + movies under the stars.

🍿 This is more than a movie theater—it’s a growing film community, and Catskill is quickly becoming one of Upstate New York’s most exciting destinations for movie lovers.
