If you like Alanis Morissette, Brandi
Carlisle, and crying in public, you're going to love Girl Blue. Writing
deeply emotional songs with strong singable hooks, singer-songwriter Arielle
O'Keefe is absolutely one to watch.
She's been featured on top Spotify playlists
(New Music Friday) and charts (#2 on US Viral Charts), in national commercials,
and on top blogs like the Huffington Post. She has received 7 Thomas Edison
Music Awards, twice receiving Songwriter of the Year and Solo Act of the Year.
It's been said "she...has the kind of spark that makes stars" and, most
especially as a live performer, she has an authenticity that regularly moves
audience members to tears.
She is based outside of Saratoga Springs, NY.
She records all her own music at home with her partner/producer Jimi W and is
funded entirely by her community of fans on Patreon and across social media.
Please note: Harmonies on the Hudson concert
series is presented free of charge by the Friends of Clermont.

Join Robert Titus, retired professor of Geology, and
Johanna Titus, retired professor of Biology, for a talk about the Hudson River
School of Art and the Ice Age!
During the 19th century there was something of a cultural
Renaissance right here in the Hudson Valley region. America's first worldclass
literature appeared. We also saw the birth of American landscape architecture.
Most importantly, led by Thomas Cole, we saw the appearance of the Hudson
Valley School of Art. In short, our region became the center of a truly
important cultural movement. None of this, we argue, would ever have happened
if the Hudson Valley, especially the North Lake area, had not been so heavily
glaciated. We
take our readers to see how the North Lake glaciers
created the landscapes that so inspired the great artists of those times.
Robert and Johanna Titus are best known as popular
science writers. Over the years they have written for several regional
magazines, including Kaatskill Life and Tri-County Historical Reviews, as well
as the Mountain Eagle and the Columbia Paper. They have authored five books on
the Catskills and Hudson Valley geology. The Titus's run The Catskill Geologist
Facebook page and a blog site, thecatskillgeologist.com
