About Common Ground
August 25, 2009 at 10:16 pm | In Home | Leave a CommentCommon Ground Community Concerts is a producer of two music and performing arts series in Westchester County, New York. Its flagship series, Common Ground Coffeehouse, is held held at the First Unitarian Society of Westchester at 25 Old Jackson Avenue, outside of Hastings-on-Hudson NY. Its new second series, Common Ground Downtown is held at the James V. Harmon Community Center, at 44 Main Street, Hastings-on-Hudson. Common Ground also provides concert and event management services to local and regional community groups and non-profit organizations.
Common Ground was founded as an effort to build community and to support regional and national musicians and other artists. Since 2005, Common Ground has used its profits to operate the Common Ground Microcredit Fund. The fund raised has raised over $20,000 for local, regional and global community groups and organizations that provide either much needed social services or work toward progressive, nonviolent social change. For more information on Common Ground’s social justice mission, and to learn more about the Common Ground Microcredit Fund, please click here.
Now in our eighth year, Common Ground has hosted such beloved national and regional artists as Chris Smither, Susan Werner, The Holmes Brothers, Kimya Dawson, Jen Chapin, Guy Davis, Sloan Wainwright, The Kennedys, Nerissa and Katryna Nields, and many more. For many years, Common Ground was a regular stop on the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s Annual Most Wanted Preview Tour. In addition to traditional and modern folk artists and singer-songwriters, we frequently feature other musical genres, such as jazz, blues, cajun-zydeco, popular song, R&B, and even the occasional evening of avant garde gamelan music!
