Artist’s ReceptionSaturday, March 14th4:00 – 6:00 PM

Artist’s Statement
I paint surrealistic landscapes, using photographs as only a touchstone from which to branch out, and creatively interpret what the imagination sees. As I dip my toes into fantasy realms, reality is never a safety net, but just the bottom of the creative swimming pool. I take the viewer and myself floating to the surface, as I seek not only to show the surface beauty of the natural world, but also its timeless and bold nature. To stop, breathe, and reflect on the mystery of nature is to reinvigorate our intent, and reflect personal restoration. As I extend the space of possibilities, the act of such is merely a reflection of the natural worldliving simply.
Bio
Seth Butler is a fine artist based in Upstate New York, specializing in capturing contemporary landscape and fantasy scenes in bold color and decisive markings and patterns. American, born in 1974, Mr. Butler attended the UAlbany MFA program, where his work spun off of fantasy subjects, embracing landscape as a conduit of information and the basis of future work, without forgetting that creative interpretation as the vehicle to steer.
Mr. Butler works primarily in oil, in a range of dimensions. He is currently working from a collection of nature photos taken on serene nature walks in Upstate NY. Color and shadow are accentuated to explore the abstraction of form combined with not-so-obvious color choices. The landscape sets the table at its base, allowing for new language toemerge.
The artist is inspired by Edvard Munch and Pierre Bonnard, to name a few, and by contemporaries such as Peter Doig and Shara Hughes. He is seeking a mutual conversation that welcomes all perspectives.

Hayden Clay Williams presents "Clear Boundaries"
2026-05-13 12:00 - 2026-06-13 16:00 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Digital artist Hayden Clay Williams will present a new group of works from his series “The Suburbs,” in which suburban life in the U.S. is examined through a surrealist lens. Using 3D rendering software, the artist creates elaborately detailed scenes of suburban sprawl centered on bizarre arrangements of cookie-cutter houses. Channeling both the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte and the filmmaker David Lynch, Williams’ scenes are bathed in a glaring, bright daylight that underscores the equally familiar and strange rules and rituals of modern homeownership. In the artist’s words, “I’m particularly interested in blurring the line between dreams and reality, creating sensations of strange tranquility.” The artist has noted elsewhere that there are “a lot of interesting stories to be told about the suburbs,” and his method of sharing them is by first removing all visual traces of people, pets, and cars, so that houses, yards, streets, and sidewalks become the protagonists of his narrative.
Bio
Hayden Clay is a visual artist currently living and working in Frederick, Maryland (USA). His practice centers around 3D digital art, through which he creates surreal visual worlds that blur the boundaries between dreams and reality. His imagery is marked by a clean, minimal aesthetic, where simple natural elements are transformed into poetic, otherworldly scenes.
Clay combines technical precision with emotionally resonant visual language. His use of pastel tones, soft lighting, and organic compositions evokes a meditative atmosphere. Many of his works move between utopia and dystopia, between digital simulation and the familiarity of memory. He draws inspiration from nature, childhood recollections, and everyday sensory experiences—such as the warmth of sunlight on skin or the smell of freshly cut grass.

Sara Milonovich & Daisycutter
2026-07-08 19:00 - 20:30 | Shepard Park, Canada Street, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Sara Milonovich & Daisycutter

“I’ve never gone into the studio with a road map,” says Sara, a seasoned side musician to such artists as Richard Shindell, Pete Seeger, Eliza Gilkyson, and Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys, and a featured player in the recent smash Broadway musical Come From Away. “Making an album has always been more like a circuitous voyage.”
Sara’s own voyage starts in the bucolic agrarian area of northeast upstate New York — the name of the song that gives Northeast its title is no accident — where she was raised on her family’s working farm and exposed to earthy music at a young age via her parents’ record collection and her grandparents’ efforts in organizing local bluegrass concerts. Having started on violin at age four, by age nine she was already leading her own band and enjoying a rising regional reputation as a top-flight fiddler. “It was a very welcoming scene,” says Sara, who released a live cassette when she was 12. “If you could play, you were accepted. I learned a lot, playing standards like ‘Tennessee Waltz’ and ‘Faded Love’ at grange halls and dances. I loved how those songs could tell stories and make people dance.”
At 16, Sara dropped out of school and joined legendary upstate Celtic bluegrass outfit the McKrells, recording two albums with the group and touring the U.S. and Ireland. “It was the best road education I could’ve asked for,” she recalls about her McKrells tenure. “They’re all world-class pickers, they have well-crafted songs, and they really know how to hold a room. They taught me a lot.” Between accompanying other mentors — including Seeger, on his Grammy-winning 2008 album At 89 — she made her solo debut with 2009’s Daisycutter, a disc whose moniker eventually became that of her band. After an eye-opening 2011 tour with the U.S. State Department-/Jazz at Lincoln Center-sponsored “Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad” revue that took her to Kosovo, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Turkey, she and Daisycutter recorded 2015’s Waiting for the Stars. The acclaimed disc earned her enthusiastic reviews and comparisons to paragons like Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow
Like Waiting for the Stars, Northeast was produced by Daisycutter guitarist Greg Anderson. But while its predecessor has more experimental touches, the new album is more direct, more stripped down, more driving — more Milonovich, really.
“It was [Bob Dylan/Levon Helm sideman] Larry Campbell who first brought Sara into my studio,” says Grammy-winning engineer and Hot Tuna drummer Justin Guip, who recorded, mixed, and plays on Northeast. “Being in the band and getting to know the songs from the inside, I felt like I was really able to get to the core of her music. This album has a lot of moods: some swampy, spooky stuff, some upbeat pop, some alt-country stuff. Whenever I listen to it, what really hits me is how much Sara stands out, as both a musician and a songwriter. That’s a pretty rare thing.”
“When people hear Northeast, I hope they feel connected to what they’re hearing,” says Sara, who was named 2022 Americana Artist of the Year by the Capital District Thomas Edison Music Awards (AKA the Eddies). “Like their stories are being written and sung through mine. We’ve all got stories to tell.”
So true. If only we all could tell them in the beautiful, moving, and melodic ways that Sara Milonovich does. Luckily, until that day comes, we have Northeast as our traveling companion.

Write what you know. Tell a story. Let the journey be your guide. There are some simple tools for making great, lasting songs.

Oobleck

Oobleck

Oobleck is a high-octane, five-piece funk band that’s been playing around the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and Vermont since 2008. They play grungy original horn funk inspired by the after-dark variety of New Orleans street music. It’s a melee of horns, super heavy drums and bass, and your favorite type of chunky guitar riffing that leaves your bum shaking and your face grinning.

Highly improvised, kinetic, effect-soaked horns create textural soundscapes with razor sharp horn lines. The vibe is high-energy and dance-focused – the rhythm section interlocked and syncopated, keeping us in the pocket and the dancers moving.

Invoking the spirit of ’70’s electric experimental jazz pioneers like Dizzy Gillespie, Cannonball Adderly, Donald Byrd, and Herbie Hancock and bringing in harder-modern avant-funk influences like Galactic, Budos Band, and sax virtuoso Skerik, Oobleck delivers a one of a kind sound and energy not matched by many in the local scene.

“Sometimes they pump out the stone-cold soul-funk of the JBs. Sometimes they veer into the Afro-funk of Fela Kuti. And sometimes…they head off into Frank Zappa’s Grand Wazoo territory.” – Nippertown

Ghost Town Blues Band
2026-07-29 19:00 - 20:30 | Shepard Park, Canada Street, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Ghost Town Blues Band

Recently headlining the blues stage at The Montreal Jazz Festival and appearing at The Lucerne Blues Festival in Switzerland, Beale Street’s latest success story, Tennessee Music Award Winner, 5-time Blues Blast Music Award Nominee and International Blues Challenge Runner-up is Ghost Town Blues Band. Not your grandpa’s blues band, their live show has been captivating audiences in the U.S., Canada and Europe with their “second-line horn entrance,” cigar box guitars and electric push brooms to Allman Brothers style jams.
The band’s stage show and energy is unparalleled and has been called the best new, live blues shows in the world.
Horns, harmonies and homegrown instruments combined with an energetic and roots rich festival set makes Ghost Town Blues Band one of the “must see live bands on the festival scene today.” Both Garrett Marshall behind the drums and Matt Karner on the bass guitar are a punishing rhythm section behind multi-instrumentalist/frontman Matt Isbell with raunchy cigar box guitar licks and raspy “Dr. John-like, whiskey and gravel-soaked vocals.” With the addition of Grayson Smith on B3, the grooves go from fresh to funky as the band gains more notoriety in the blues festival and Roots circuit. Ghost Town Blues Band has performed all across US, Europe and Canada at over 175+ festivals and will announce almost a half-dozen international tours in 2026.
GTBB’s new album Shine debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.

“GTBB shows what can happen when the past is distilled through young sensibilities, voices, and instruments. This is 21st century blues at its best.” – Living Blues Magazine

Kneebody
In their almost two-decade history, the Grammy-nominated band Kneebody has created a genre and style all its own. Their sound is an explosive blend of rock energy and high-level, nuanced chamber ensemble playing, set within the frames of highly wrought compositions that balance adventurous, no-holds-barred improvisation.
Now, in 2025, Kneebody embarks on an exciting new chapter with the release of their highly anticipated album, Reach, set to drop on April 18 via GroundUP Music. This marks the band’s latest project as a quartet, featuring keyboardist Adam Benjamin, trumpeter Shane Endsley, saxophonist Ben Wendel, and the uniquely dynamic Nate Wood, who simultaneously handles both bass and drums. Reach exemplifies Kneebody’s continued evolution, pushing the boundaries of genre while delivering their signature blend of intricate composition and raw energy.
The album’s lead single, “Repeat After Me,” is already available for streaming, giving audiences a first taste of Kneebody’s refined yet adventurous approach. Saxophonist Ben Wendel describes the track as a “cheeky song” that channels a Morse code-inspired melody through shifting harmonies and groove-driven intensity. With Reach, the band showcases their ability to weave together complex rhythmic structures, fiery improvisations, and a profound sense of collective synergy.
Kneebody’s journey began in their late teens at the Eastman School of Music and CalArts, where they formed deep musical connections that ultimately converged into the band’s distinctive voice amid the vibrant Los Angeles music scene in 2001. Since then, they have garnered critical acclaim and built a dedicated international following. Their music defies classification, drawing from influences that include 1960s free-bop, 1970s jazz rock, 1990s hip-hop, and post-millennial indie rock, all infused with a classical post-minimalist sensibility.
Throughout their career, Kneebody has continuously innovated, earning a Grammy nomination for their 2009 collaboration with Theo Bleckmann on 12 Songs of Charles Ives. They have released a series of boundary-pushing albums, from The Line (2013) on Concord Records to Kneedelus (2015), a groundbreaking collaboration with electronic artist Daedelus on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label. Their discography also includes Anti-Hero (2017, Motéma Music), By Fire (2019), and Chapters (2019), their first full-length release as a quartet, featuring collaborations with Becca Stevens, Gretchen Parlato, Michael Mayo, Gerald Clayton, and Josh Dion.
With Reach, Kneebody is not just releasing an album—they are signaling a new era for the band. As they prepare to take the new music on the road, fans can expect an electrifying tour filled with their signature unpredictable energy, tight interplay, and spontaneous musical risk-taking. With a legacy of innovation and a future that continues to defy expectations, Kneebody remains at the forefront of modern creative music.
