Storyteller Jonathan Kruk and the Barefoot Boys

Filed under Events, Nyack
Renowned, award-winning storyteller Jonathan Kruk is coming to the Nyack Center, 58 Depew Avenue (corner of S. Broadway & Depew) in downtown Nyack on Sunday, April 5th at 3 pm to help commemorate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s and Samuel de Champlain’s voyages along the river and lake that bear their names, and to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Robert Fulton’s successful steamboat voyage on the Hudson in a fundraiser for Blue Rock School.
Jonathan Kruk will perform the lively theatrical adventures in historic fiction of the “celebrated three” in period garb. Accompanying Jonathan will be the rollicking Barefoot Boys (with Boots on). Guitarist Rich Bala, with Rick Hill on bass, and Tom “the musician’s musician” White, on everything else from button accordion to hammer dulcimer, play “a cheerful blend of bluegrass and old time music with expertise, feeling, and a sense of humor. Together they’ll weave authentic, interactive tunes into the tales of the Hudson River’s rich heritage. The performance engages all, but children will especially enjoy the enchanting tales, silly skits and sing-alongs.
Jonathan is a BOCES-approved artist educator with a masters degree and was recently
selected “Best Storyteller in the Hudson Valley” by Hudson Valley Magazine. In 1996, he became Historic Hudson Valley’s “Legend of Sleepy Hollow Storyteller.” He has also appeared on P.B.S., The Travel and History Channels and at the Tribeca Film Festival. The New York Times, noting his far ranging work, described him as “Westchester’s intrepid storyteller.”
The event will also include a raffle of Jonathan’s award-winning CD’s and the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a vacation get-away to Lake Tahoe or Maine. Refreshments will be available. All proceeds from the event to benefit Blue Rock School.
Tickets: $8 children, $12 adults in advance and $10/$15 at the door. Reservations are highly recommended. For tickets or more information call Blue Rock School at
845-627-0234.
