Ryley Walker Tops Solid Bill in Woodstock
Sometimes word of a bill that’s too good not to mention comes along too late to make it into the pages of Chronogram. This bill is definitely one of them, and it comes to Colony in Woodstock on December 29 at 7pm: dreamlike Chicago folk rock singer-songwriter Ryley Walker, searching New York experimental guitarist Steve Gunn, and New Jersey psychedelic jam-o-nauts Garcia Peoples. A mind-blower, for sure. Tickets are $13 and $15. https://www.colonywoodstock.com/NEW YEAR’S EVE EVENTS

Phony Ppl in Kingston
Toots and the Maytals sang about “Funky Kingston.” Well, we’re not sure what’s going on for New Year's Eve in the Jamaican city that shares the name of the Ulster County seat. But how does “Funky Kingston, New York” on New Year’s Eve sound? Funky it shall be at BSP the night of December 31 when hitmaking Brooklyn-based R&B/hip-hop/old school funk-soul quintet comes to the venue’s cavernous Back Room Theater. Doors open at 9pm and the night also features sets by dj.sterling and DJ Styles and food by Duo Bistro. Tickets are $20 early bird, $20 in advance, and $30 at the door. http://bspkingston.com/NEW YEAR’S EVE EVENTS
