The Winter Solstice was perhaps the most important date on many ancient calendars. Prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge and Newgrange (in Ireland) indicate the day with remarkable precision. The December solstice, in the Northern Hemisphere, is a time when we welcome the return of longer daylight, look forward to the renewal of spring, and celebrate family and neighbors with sharing and coming together. Neil Alexander and his group NAIL plan an evening of original music and jazz masterpieces within his Newburgh neighborhood, exploring deep grooves, majestic soundscapes, and infusing it all with a spiritually themed positive message. NAIL features outstanding musicians Todd Isler (drums & percussion), Brian Mooney (bass) and Premik Russel Tubbs (saxophones), along with special guests (TBA). Come celebrate, help chase away the darkness, welcome back the sun, and enjoy an evening of great live music full of reflection & passion while helping the Hudson Valley community.
