An iconic music edifice catering to all music lovers, and in particular the older clients and music lovers desiring to enjoy wholesome inspiring music. This attractive, self-serving space is a go-to venue for promoters and patron alike. Situated in the cool residential locale of Woodstock, New York, this is one on several music festival locations in demand for avid music lovers. A visit to this location stirs memory of long-ago events, and the transition into this current modern-day space for entertainment. The locations also include accommodations, a radio station, picnic ground, craft market, restaurant & lounge. There is an abundance of parking due to improved renovation and expansion of public amenities. A safe space for great relaxation and quality entertainment. Also display a "museum" that showcase a hosts of memorabilia outlining the progression of the musical dynasty that have solidify and exemplified the essence of Woodstock as a location synonymous with cultural, love music. The most recent showcase with the Third World Group/Band is the epitome of the historical importance of this venue, and its contribution to music development, especially Reggae!! The show also provided insight to the everchanging guard of Reggae music via the talented Upstate Reggae Posse group providing a classic opening of the show. Kudos to the promotion company....
Read moreMy first experience with Bearsville was with the Psychedelic Furs' benefit concert for guitarist John Ashton (03.15.22) and WOW! An amazing experience all around. As a sound tech, the acoustics were incredible. I sat in the balcony and dare I say the acoustics were SO good, I almost forgot I was at a live concert (it was both awesome and somewhat unsettling as I do like to hear the "bounce" of live sound).
Can't say I've met a nicer, more relaxed staff than that of Bearsville. From the front door person to the bartenders, it was a relaxed atmosphere and very much appreciated. The venue is gorgeous and intimate and full of history. I can see why the space (and the Woodstock music scene) are so treasured.
The fellow attendees were just so nice and some, so young! They flooded the front of the stage with dancing and good vibes. Kudos, young ones. Thank you for helping make the concert and experience extra special all around. And kudos, Bearsville! Ya 'done' good....

Went to see Martin Sexton and during the opening act, the McCann Brothers, people were talking loudly, glasses clinking, and even though it quieted some during Martin's performance, it continued. Both the opening act and Sexton made comments and for me as a member of the audience there to here some great music, the level of noise felt disrespectful to the performers and took away from being able to fully hear the show.

This was the feeling of many of the folks sitting around me as well They may as well take the word "theater" out of the name and call it The Bearsville Bar. sadly very...
