Victor Wainwright & the Train are Pulling into Pawling!

All Aboard! The Next Whistle Stop is Pawling, NY!

The Hudson Valley Blues Society (HVBS) is looking forward to introducing 2019 Grammy Nominee and multi-award winning artist, Victor Wainwright to Hudson Valley music enthusiasts at Daryl’s House Club, Pawling, NY on August 28^th. The power-house blues, soul and roots rocking pianist/performer will command the stage supported by one of the tightest, smokin’ bands on the scene today … along with a new horn section and rechristened as, the Train.

On the heels of their critically-acclaimed, self-titled album, Victor and his newly designated band, the Train are a Blues and American Roots ‘tour de force.’ It is simply impossible not to get caught up in their live performance. The intimacy afforded at Daryl’s House Club is sure to inspire an extraordinary performance that blues and roots fans will not soon forget. “It will be my honor to be able to work with, and introduce these incredible musicians to our area. Trust me, this is going to be a treat for the ears. There will be no disappointments,” commented HVBS President, Paul Toscano.

Fans are encouraged to come early for dinner, as the Special Sauce Band will open the show at 7 pm. This blues band has just the right ingredients for great music, with a recipe handed down through years of experience. Consisting of five seasoned, Hudson Valley musicians; Kenny Williams (Bass), Doug Varady (guitars/vocals), Alan Copeland (drums/vocals), Gary Broderson (keyboards/vocals) and Paul Toscano (harmonica/vocals), they are all are proud members of the HVBS.

Board Trustee and blues devotee, Hillary Fontana exclaims, “My husband and I have been fans of Victor Wainwright for years. As regular cruisers on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise, we have seen many transformations of his bands using the same core players (Victor, Terrance, Pat and Billy). The Train, which now includes a horn section, is one of the greatest toe tapping, seat-bouncing bands out there. We are thrilled that Victor and the Train are coming to Daryl’s House Club for a Hudson Valley Blues Society event“!
