Tin Roof celebrates anniversary at Bodles

Chester — Hot off its appearance on Northeast Public Radio, the local band Tin Roof will be celebrating its one-year anniversary at Bodles Opera House in Chester at 8:30 tonight, April 28. These five musicians from the Hudson Valley play bluegrass and Americana roots music. “We’re all very excited about returning to our ‘home’ for this show” said guitarist and vocalist Suzy Arnowitz. The band has a strong connection to Bodles. Several of the band’s members met there and formed the musical bonds that resulted in Tin Roof. Their debut concert took place at Bodles almost a year ago to the day. Mmembers Michael Baglione, Suzy Arnowitz, and Wayne Fugate are all long-time veterans of the Bluegrass scene who have performed with Oxford Depot, Out to Lunch, and other notable bands, along with Rachel Handman and Phil Helm of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, who give the band a distinctive, signature voice. Individually and collectively, the members of Tin Roof have appeared on television, radio, and major festival and concert stages, including The Towne Crier Café, Café Lena, Troy Music Hall, The Bardovan Opera House, the Doc Watson Music Festival, and Carnegie Hall. Tin Roof recently appeared on the show “Dancing on the Air,” hosted by Jay Ungar and Mollie Mason on Northeast Public Radio. Critics appreciate the band’s humor and warmth. Performances are always marked by lively interaction with their audience. Bodles is located at 38 Main St. Tickets to the performance are available at Bodles Opera House on the evening of the performance, by calling 469-4595, or online at www.bodles.com.
