Seeing a Spuyten Duyvil (pronounced “SPITE+en DIE+vil”) show for the first time is like “throwing a cherry bomb into a lake” according to Rich Warren, WFMT. It wakes you up. Their brand of original and traditional American Roots music blends Olde Time, Blues, 2nd Line, Bluegrass, and Folk Rock with a pinch of Punk Rock energy to create a uniquely modern mix. Lead by song-writing couple, Mark Miller and Beth Kaufman, this seven piece powerhouse brings barn burning energy to venues throughout the Northeast, and now Winter’s Eve!
It’s an exciting time for the Hudson Valley based band. Since its release in October of 2013, Spuyten Duyvil’s third CD “Temptation” has reached the #7 position on the International Folk DJ Chart with “I’ll Fly Away” clocking in at the #2 song. Their 2011 release “New Amsterdam” landed on a dozen DJ Top 10 lists and received a nomination for the Alternate Root TV’s “2011 Top American Roots Album”. Drop them on a large festival stage, like on Winter’s Eve, and they electrify the crowd. Place them in a listening room and their stripped down acoustic sets connect powerfully. Tireless organizers, they have created, booked and hosted the UrbanH2O concert series in Yonkers, NY and festival workshops (including ‘The Backstage Sessions’ and ‘The Social Music Hour’) encouraging collaboration between artists and the audience at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, The Folk Alliance Conference and Caramoor’s American Roots Music Festival. “They’re a mighty powerhouse….All the playing is hot.” – Stephen D. Winick, The Huffington Post “Raucous Roots…” – Phillip Lutz, The New York Times
