Our Songwriter’s Showcase shines a light on the region’s hidden musical gems.

Join us for the inaugural edition of the HVBH Songwriters’ Showcase, the place to discover—or rediscover—what we love about the Hudson Valley: Original music exquisitely performed by the artists themselves.

Our December showcase features three distinctive performers: the Brazilian-infused jazzy sounds of Marcus DaSilva, the Appalachian-inspired modern rock of Eli Musser, and the joyful grooves of musical duo Stay Sunday. Each will perform a 20-30 minute set. One ticket for all. Refreshments available for purchase.

We offer flex ticket pricing for this program: $10 to $25 here or at the door.

Songwriter performances will take place on our stage four times a year. Our 2025 dates are: Saturday, March 22; Saturday, June 21; Saturday, Sept. 20; and Friday, Dec. 5. Put the dates on your calendar and come support Hudson Valley music!

Eli Musser

Going on two decades as a performing NYC area singer/songwriter, Eli Musser brings a robust catalog of lyrical and melodic brilliance with him to the stage. Starting with his Appalachian roots, his guitar-driven solo material incorporates elements from multiple genres — folk, jazz, blues and classical — which adorn his more modern rock-influenced compositions. Expect Chris-Cornell-meets-John-Legend, plus some harmonica for fun.

Marcus DaSilva

Marcus began his life in music as a young classical guitarist in his hometown of Rio de Janeiro. Influenced by a vibrant mix of Brazilian folk music, pop and rock, he soon added bass and twelve-string guitar to his repertoire. Marcus has performed around the New York area, including Kenny’s Castaways, The Bitter End, The Marquee and CBGB’s, as well as Westchester street fairs and farmers’ markets.

From Rio to Ossining, classical to Brazilian pop, alt-rock and jazz, Marcus DaSilva remains dedicated to musical excellence, discipline, simplicity and discernment.
