Venue Info

Founded in 1972 with roots in Greenwich Village, Towne Crier Cafe relocated to a historic stagecoach stop in Beekmanville, embracing the folk and singer-songwriter traditions of the ’60s. Legendary artists like Pete Seeger, Odetta, and Richie Havens have graced its stage, alongside a diverse lineup spanning music, theater, dance, and film.

Renowned as a premier “listening room,” the Cafe has been a vital part of New York’s Hudson Valley music scene for over 50 years and continues to nurture world-class and regional talent
