Kid Bess and The Magic Ring

Please join us for a warm Summer Saturday night filled with music, friends and family. Weather permitting, the performance will be outside on the Haywagon Stage. BYOE (everything) - chairs, blankets, snacks, beverages, etc. This is not a sharing-style potluck. No charge for kids 12 and under attending and sitting with their adults. The Corncrib Bar will be open for sipping. Parking in the field - instructions will be provided closer to the date of the event.

KidBess & The Magic Ring is a five-piece psychedelic rock band from upstate New York. Led by songwriter Bess Greenberg, the Binghamton-based band pushes boundaries of genre, channeling the spirit of groups such Pink Floyd, and Jefferson Airplane, while maintaining their own timeless and innovative sound. Featuring powerhouse vocals, cello, two guitars, electric bass and drums, the band’s intoxicating blend of intimate introspective lyricism, sonic layering, textured sound effects, and resilient emotive strength have enabled them to carve out their own unique space within the contemporary collection of heart and mind-expanding music.

Greenberg’s raspy timbre, rooted in the bluesy tradition of Grace Slick and Janis Joplin, adds a layer of grit and intensity to the sound of their ethereal soundscapes, exhibiting a level of emotional depth and authenticity rarely seen in contemporary times — and at moments can be referred to as “poetic punk”; unified dynamics is where the band truly shines as a unit. The vocal is cradled, harmonized and complemented by the haunting brilliant swells of “The Magic Ring”: cellist Jeff McAuley, guitarist Joe Alston, bassist Mike Amadeo and drummer Moses Valle. The band weaves a textured web of emotive sonic waves that amplify Greenberg’s intimate genuine words; melted together, the sound will hold you close, rock your core and send chills down your spine.

Bess and company were scheduled to perform here last summer, but life events (mine) got in the way. I am happy that we will be able to showcase this amazing band this year.

As always, 100% of your contributions go to the performers and the sound tech. But please bring extra $$ for tips and merch. We support live music and the people who make it, and encourage you to also.

Celebrate Life!
