Sixteen Hudson Valley bands will play a block apart in Kingston on Saturday, Nov. 21, when DIY Kingston and Red Eye Booking present DIY Kingston Fest at Keegan Ales and Night Swim. The organizers’ event page and a matching listing from Keegan Ales, at 20 Saint James Street, describe it as a grassroots bill of local acts spanning indie, psych, surf, punk, post-punk, pop, jazz fusion and world music. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door, and the organizers say proceeds go to the bands, organizers, photographers, and sound and door staff.
The lineup posted by DIY Kingston includes Jelly Kelly, King in Yellow, a Grampfather reunion show, TV Sleep, Stella & the Reptilians, A Whole Nother, Kissing Well, Your Favorite Person, Tiny Blue Ghost, Hush Woods, Killer Film, Atabeya, Ramona Lane, Pour La Terre, Couch Surfer and Syncope. Ticket buyers are also promised a free compilation of the festival bands, which is separately for sale on Bandcamp. Festival shirts are listed at $20, or $35 bundled with a ticket.
The organizers did not post a single start-to-finish schedule on the main event pages. Anyone looking for door times should check with the venues as the date gets closer. The two rooms are a block apart, the listings say, a setup meant to keep the night walkable in Kingston’s stockade-area brewery district.
