When I first peaked into the Bearsville Theater I was struck by its warmth and intimacy but mostly I was in awe of black-and-white photographs lining the theater's walls by legendary rock n' roll photographer Elliott Landy. Located just a few minutes from downtown Woodstock, the Bearsville Theater is the labor of love of Albert Grossman, a folk music and rock manager whose clients included Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul & Mary, Janis Joplin, and The Band. After many years of planning the theater was opened in 1989 by Albert's widow, Sally Grossman.
My wife, Lisa, and I discovered the theater after dining next door at the Bearsville Cafe (best duck confit we've ever had). On the bill that night was The Chris Bergson Band.
