#UpstateGrooves Woodstock’s legendary status in

#UpstateGrooves
Woodstock’s legendary status in rock history began with Bob Dylan’s move to Byrdcliffe Art Colony in 1965, guided by his manager, Albert Grossman. Grossman, a visionary in both music and real estate, soon developed the Bearsville Center, attracting stars like The Band and Richie Havens to this creative hub.

But another of Grossman’s clients, Todd Rundgren, arguably left an even bigger musical mark. Known for hits like “Hello, It’s Me” and producing iconic albums like *Bat Out of Hell* and *Skylarking*, Rundgren recorded much of his groundbreaking work right in Woodstock.

👩‍🎤"When I first arrived here, there were some great music venues,” he continues. “When Albert brought me up here to work with The Band, there was Sled Hill, Café Espresso, Deanie’s, and a few more. There were many places to play where local musicians and those visiting to record at Bearsville would socialize and jam. Then everybody discovered Woodstock and wanted to live here, but they didn’t want the noise. It seems like the only thing that’s survived from my time here, that stayed the same, is Byrdcliffe.”- Todd Rundgren

🏅On October 22 and 23, #ToddRundgren brings his ME/WE Tour to #BearsvilleTheater. On the 23rd, he’ll receive a key to the city of Woodstock from Town Supervisor Bill McKenna, honoring his contributions to Woodstock’s music legacy. A plaque will also be dedicated at Utopia Sound Studios to commemorate his work at Utopia Video. 🌟

👩‍🎤"This means a lot more to me because I lived and worked here for a long time. I have a lot of history with the musicians here and was a part of creating some significant work. And the Utopia Sound Studios wouldn’t have been here if I hadn’t helped build its forerunner, Utopia Video, with Albert.” - Todd Rundgren

🙌 Next week Is the start of the 2024 Woodstock Film Festival!

In celebration of this exciting Hudson Valley event, now in its 25th year, we’re excited to share a series of exclusive interviews showcasing a select group of filmmakers participating in this year’s festival.

🎥 Today #weareupstateny with filmmaker, Kyle Hausmann-Stokes to talk about his film: My Dead Friend Zoe

What better imaginary friend than a spirited, deceased "bestie" to act as your enduring conscience and guide? This beloved movie is about long-lasting friendship, grief, and hope. From US Army veteran Kyle Hausmann-Stokes comes a dark comedy/drama about Merit (Sonequa Martin-Green), a veteran grieving the loss of her Army friend Zoe (Natalie Morales), though she continues their connection beyond the physical form. The film leans heavily towards the value of healing rather than the horrors of war, bringing refreshing levity in a powerful recounting of tragedy and the long, complex search for catharsis.

INSIDE+OUT: How do you feel this film will impact people’s perspective of the veteran narrative?

KYLE HAUSMANN-STOKES: My hope is that people will come away from this film—having laughed and cried and smiled a lot—with an optimistic outlook on veterans. Most on-screen portrayals of veterans fall into tropes and stereotypes, and I think that’s because so few of us vets have had the chance to tell our own stories. We’re much more resilient, dynamic, funny, and heartfelt than people may think.
