Just saying a little musical moment we did here in Poughkeepsie with the help of some wonderfully talented artist who make the world a better place to live in everyday

Can you think of a better place to be this afternoon? Kaal Rock Park is one of the Hudson Valley’s best kept secrets. Come and enjoy the River, the sunshine, live music, food and friends.

The Desmond Teague Quartet is on at 4pm. If you’ve seen them, you know you don’t want to miss them. They’ll be followed by The Dylan Doyle Band,
currently touring with their new album.

Our sponsor King’s Court Brewery has you covered with beer and other libations and Hudson Valley Falafel is bringing their fresh Mediterranean menu. Cool down with an Italian ice from Big Drip or our own local gelato and sorbets from Artigiani del Gelato.

And a big thanks to Mayor Flowers, The City of Poughkeepsie, Public Arts Commission and DPW for funding and support!

Shout out to King's Court Brewing Company, who stepped in as a co-sponsor for Kaal Rock Park Concerts this year. They have even offered King's Court as a rain location for our concerts (though we've been very lucky on that score!)

Founder and Brewer Cortland Toczylowski creates fresh seasonal beers, winning awards and building a local following for his beers and the brew pub, which hosts open mics, game and trivia nights and the fabulous summertime Second Sundays on Cannon St.

Join us for our final Kaal Rock Park Concert this Saturday at 4PM. We'll have two terrific bands, The Desmond Teague Quartet and Dylan Doyle Band. Hudson Valley Falafel will be offering up fresh Mediterranean favorites, while Artigiani del Gelato and Big Drip Italian Ice will have treats for every taste.

Bring your lawn chair and a friend and and come enjoy the river, the sunset and some great live music.

Much appreciation to The City of Poughkeepsie and The Public Arts Commission for continued support over the last 6 years, council member Evan Menist and to the DPW who brought this park back to life and keep it looking great.

Don't miss the last Kaal Rock Park Concert on Saturday, Sept 27, starting at 4PM. We'll have two amazing groups; the Desmond Teague Quartet and Dylan Doyle Band.

Desmond and his band are always a big draw at Poughkeepsie PorchFest and Desmond was a featured player in the Saturday ensemble program for Jazz in the Valley this year.

Dylan is touring nationally with his new album, "A Different Shade of Blue" and comes to Kaal Rock after recently selling out The Falcon. His unique blend of roots. R&B, rock and funk is sure to be a great cap to our concert series.

You can have a picnic with food from Hudson Valley Falafel or a snack from Artigiani del Gelato or Big Drip Italian Ice. And of course, our sponsor King's Court Brewing will be on hand with fresh brewed local beer and other beverages. Our thanks, as always, goes to the City of Poughkeepsie, the Poughkeepsie Public Arts Commission and Evan Menist.

If you made it to Kaal Rock Park last Saturday, you know what a great time Base Camp gave the crowd. They played through sundown and we all packed up by the light of our headlights. It was a great afternoon.
