LUSTRE KINGS to LEAD BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE to ‘THE KING’ at HELSINKI HUDSON

(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Club Helsinki Hudson’s annual Elvis Birthday Bash, featuring the Lustre Kings plus other special guests, will take place on Friday, January 15, at 9pm, just one week after what would have been Elvis Presley’s 81th birthday. The Lustre Kings dig deep into early rock and related styles, steering away from a greatest-hits oldies approach, preferring to connect the dots among such unlikely musical bedfellows as Conway Twitty, Peanuts Wilson, Link Wray and Duke Ellington (they even render a surf-guitar version of the Duke’s “Caravan”).

DARLINGSIDE BRINGS WILLIAMS-TRAINED HARMONIES and ROOTSY CHAMBER-FOLK to HELSINKI HUDSON

(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Massachusetts-based indie-folk quartet Darlingside  brings its singular four-part harmonies and classically influenced chamber-pop to Club Helsinki Hudson on Thursday, January 14, at 8pm. . The group’s most recent album, “Birds Say,” is the first to capture fully the soaring arrangements, sophisticated harmonies, and rousing rhythms, making the group a kind of missing link between Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Mumford & Sons. Vermont-based DuPont Brothers will open the show.
