Evening of bluegrass, folk and blues in Cuddebackville

Mike Baglione and Miro Ludvik play May 26 at D&H Canal Park Cuddebackville — Local musicians Mike Baglione and Miro Ludvik will perform a benefit concert for the Neversink Valley Area Museum at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 26, at the D&H Canal Park visitors center, 58 Hoag Road in Cuddebackville. Baglione is a founding member of the bluegrass bands Tin Roof, Oxford Depot, and the Jersey Mountain Boys. He is now the vocalist/guitarist for Tin Roof. He has performed at clubs and on festival stages throughout the Northeast, and on radio stations WFDU, WJFF, WTBQ and WNYC. He has made many appearances at Bodles Opera House in Chester and the Warwick Valley Winery. Ludvik was born in the former Czechoslovakia, where he was a part of a lively folk scene. Many of his friends are the defining figures of Czech music today. After coming to United States in 1981, he played with a local teachers’ band in Price, Utah, another one in Houston Texas. In 1996, after braking two fingers on his left hand, he decided to play more “while he has some fingers left.” Since then he has written more than 50 original songs in the genres of gospel, folk, and blues. Admission is $7 ($5 for museum members). This is the first in a series of every-other-month concerts that will continue throughout the season.
