Weekends at Bearsville! Jazz Brunch every Sunday 11am-3pm at Bearsville Park and the iconic Bearsville Theater by the banks of the Sawkill Creek.
We do ask for a small cover charge. Too often, local musicians are paid poorly (or not at all and expected to work for tips). We are leading the fight to pay musicians a decent amount for their contributions. Respect our Musicians and Keep Music Alive!
Live music from: Donna Trunzo, Steve Raleigh, & Jim Curtin 12:00 noon.
You may have seen Donna with A Jazz Ensemble gigging at local restaurants, or perhaps you saw her somewhere playing solo – guitar and voice – or perhaps you caught her with her husband, Guy, on harmonica. You may have seen her someplace where she was invited to join a jazz ensemble to sing a song or two. Wherever you might have seen her, you would have seen that her song interpretations and soulful voice evoke strong emotions from her audiences. So, if you decide to come hear A Jazz Ensemble with Donna Trunzo, you can expect a sophisticated show. You will hear interpretations of songs from the Great American Songbook and discover her love for the jazz greats including Armstrong, Monk, Ellington, Parker, Coltrane, Holiday, Fitzgerald, Torme – just to name a few.

We at Bearsville Theater are concerned about safety and have been closely watching the spread of the Delta variant of Covid. We strongly urge everyone to become vaccinated if they have not already done so. And once again, we must ask guests to wear their masks at all times when inside the theater and not seated, eating or drinking. We relay live music outside into our Parkland area, where there is ample seating, should you prefer to listen to the music maskless.
We will continue with our current indoor testing policy, which now applies to EVERY event. We ask for proof of full vaccination and ID prior to entry.
Jim Curtin is one of the most sought after bass players in the Hudson Valley because of his outstanding musicianship and his ability to blend with whatever musical atmosphere he is engaged in. In California, he propelled the rhythm section of the Stamford Jazz Workshops and played gigs with the bandmates of Chick Corea, Cleo Lane, and Whitney Houston. Moving East, Jim joined the band “Orleans” and concertized with them for three years. He has played concerts and festivals with the Gabriel Butterfield Blues Band, at times led by such luminaries as Jimmy Vivino and Kal David. His deep love of jazz has led to collaborations with many fine Hudson Valley musicians, Joe Beck, Betty MacDonald and Hue Brody to name a few.
