The Glove Education Series Presents: The Rise & Fall of the Borscht Belt
The Glove Education Series continues with a FREE screening of the documentary The Rise & Fall of the Borscht Belt.
The Borscht Belt is the name for a section of the Catskill Mountains in Sullivan and Ulster Counties. Starting in the 1920s, it became a summer retreat and sanctuary for millions of Jews escaping from accepted American anti-Semitism. From the 1950s through the 1980s, this sprawling region of bed and breakfast farmhouses, bungalow colonies, and resort hotels numbered in the several hundreds and drew people from all over the Eastern Seaboard. The Borscht Belt was famed for its social scene, epic food spreads, and its entertainment. The Borscht Belt was the launching pad for iconic stand-up comics such as Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Alan King, Billy Crystal, and Jerry Seinfeld.
Following the screening, we will have a Q&A moderated by Glove Theatre Board Member Aaron Enfield. He will discuss the history of the Borscht Belt with Jay Blotcher of the Borscht Belt Museum in Ellenville, New York.
Runtime: 1h 21m

The 518 Concert Series Presents: Neon Avenue
The Glove Theatre's 518 Concert Series is looking forward to presenting Neon Avenue!!!
Born from the depths of the 2020 Pandemic, this group of Capital Region musicians came together for what felt like necessity. With the stalling of the music industry, a creative outlet was needed for these 5 individuals. What was first a casual get together playing some dead tunes quickly escalated into a singular goal of putting together a live stream. Something special happened during these early sessions and a “one-and-done” livestream turned into something much more.
In less than 2 years as a band, Neon Avenue has made quite a stir in the ever popular (and saturated) Gratefully-inspired tribute scene, growing quickly to become one of the bigger draws in the Upstate NY capital region Dead scene. The band brings a fresh take on the Grateful music that you know and love while placing an emphasis on improvisation, unique setlist construction, deeper cuts into the grateful songbook and a primal energy that they draw from their loyal fans during live performances. With past performances at Lark Hall, Putnam Place, Unihog, Rustic Barn and many other headlining shows around the Capital region, the word has gotten out about this band. Composed of veteran musicians from numerous local groups like Formula 5, Slipknot! (80's/90's Dead tribute), Stone Revival Band, Knot Dead, Jocamo, and more, this combination of players has set out to push the boundaries of the standard Dead tribute.
The group of Joe Davis (Formula 5), Mike Urbon (Knot Dead), Mike Cassels (Stone Revival Band, Jocamo, Knot Dead), Mike McDonald (Formula 5, Knot Dead) and Doug Klein (Slipknot, Robanic, Knot Dead) were re-inspired playing the music of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia Band, Ratdog, and others. While existing in an endless sea of 1970's era Grateful Dead tributes, this group strives to separate itself with a dedication to unique arrangements of setlists and song segues, utilizing extended improvisation, playing deeper cuts from all eras of the Dead, JGB, and Ratdog songbook.
Playing music of The Dead -- but Different! Come ready to dance -- the dance floor will be open!

For this show, “The Boys” will be joined by Glove favorite, Sara Milonovich, on fiddle and backing vocals.
Jim spent three decades repositioning bluegrass for contemporary fans who enjoy a broad pallet of Americana influences in their music. Thrice winner of Bluegrass Band of the Year for 2022, 2023 and 2024 at the New York Capital District Eddies Awards. They’ve enjoyed standing ovations at festivals across the country including four International Bluegrass Music Association festivals of the year: Wintergrass in Seattle; Joe Val in Boston; Podunk in Hartford, Grey Fox in Oak Hill, New York; plus the IBMA’s Bluegrass Ramble in Raleigh, NC.
The late Lena Spencer of Caffe Lena, the renowned Saratoga coffee house that hosted Bob Dylan in 1960, encouraged Jim to write his own music after he performed his version of Lefty Frizzel’s “Long Black Veil” more than three decades ago at the coffeehouse. Six albums of original music later, Jim and his Railroad Boys still play at Caffe Lena.

Dead-Zep: A Tribute to The Grateful Dead and Led Zepplin
It’s somewhat boggling to think of Jerry Garcia and Jimmy Page swapping riffs – the beatific Buddha and the slashing, edgy Page. But as veteran player of Grateful Dead music Waynard Scheller noticed one night, the chords of the Dead anthem “St. Stephen” merged seamlessly into “Whole Lotta Love.” Then he sat down and found lots of pairs of songs that fit together. And thus was born “Dead-Zep,” a new band formed from his Rainbow Full of Love to mash up the two repertoires
They not only flow from Zep to Dead and back again, they play Zep songs like the GD and Dead songs the way Zep would…which makes for a fascinating, sometimes shocking evening. Hearing “Ramble On” suddenly dissolve into “St. Stephen” can be amazing to the point of a slight and interesting sense of disorientation. It’s a wide, wide world. Waynard has been touring up and down the East Coast for years, delighting Dead Heads and other listeners. He founded Dead-Zep with a rotating cast in 2018, and then ran into the pandemic. Now that things are a little healthier…it’s time for Dead-Zep to step out onstage. It’s time now for something (almost) completely different!
