Upcoming Events

Centenary Stage Company wraps up its 2020 January Thaw Music Festival with Sam Reider and the Human Hands. A jazz pianist turned folk musician, Sam Reider has spent the last eight years redefining American roots music on the accordion. An award-winning composer, multi-instrumentalist and singer, he was awarded "Best Americana Album" by the Independent Music Awards for his work with Silver City Bound and has toured as a musical ambassador for the U.S. Department of State in eight countries overseas. Meanwhile, the Human Hands are a collective of virtuoso acoustic musicians based in New York City who have developed a cultish following and a reputation for mind-bending sets of high-energy, improvised music.

Drummer Nick Scheuble began a distinguished career as both a sideman and a bandleader and brings a quartet featuring Tomoko Ohno, an accomplished pianist and composer, on piano; Max Morden, noted for his abilities to cross genres from baroque to jazz to Broadway, on trumpet; and Tim Givens, who currently plays with New York Electric Piano and the Cecilia Coleman Quintet, on bass.

The PVTC, a Friends Organization of the Kittatinny Valley State Park, will host a 4-5 mile hike along the Paulinskill Valley Trail.  The trail is cinder-based which provides easy, level walking. Meet at Footbridge Park in Blairstown; bring lunch and a drink. Due to the trail being near hunting areas, please wear an upper garment that is blaze orange or some other bright color.
