Gateway Innovation Incubator Program

Kicking off on March 10th, 2026, the Gateway Innovation Incubator Program is a new initiative that pairs emerging business leaders with experienced entrepreneurial veterans in the region to help jump-start their growth. Spearheaded by the Hudson Valley Gateway Foundation, the program creates mentorship connections that pass down proven strategies and insights to the next generation of local business leaders. For a modest one-time fee of $200.00, new businesses gain access to a 6-week virtual course with structured lessons and materials, as well as valuable business contacts and mentorship opportunities. The final two sessions shift to an in-person format, with the very last session serving as a celebration of participants’ progress and accomplishments. Additionally, they receive a one-year Basic Connect Level Membership with the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce. Already a Chamber member? Sign up for the Incubator Program and get 50% off plus a FREE year of Chamber membership, starting when your current annual dues expire. Each Tuesday from 6 PM to 7:30 PM, participants will engage in virtual group workshops, and one-on-one sessions will equip new business owners to take their organizations to the next level.

The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band- Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour

On Friday, March 13, The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band brings his Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour to Paramount Hudson Valley. Thirty years ago, a Fender Strat–wielding teenager from Shreveport, Louisiana rocketed the blues back into the mainstream with the Platinum-selling Ledbetter Heights—a fiery, hook-smart, and reverent burst of guitar prowess that cut through the grunge era and reintroduced blues to a new generation. That breakout vaulted Shepherd from small clubs to Top-10 charts and earned him industry acclaim, a passionate fanbase, and a spot in Guitar World’s rankings just behind B.B. King and Eric Clapton. Now a master rather than a prodigy, Shepherd has returned to where it all began with a faithful, full-band re-recording of his landmark debut in honor of its 30th anniversary. On this national tour stop, the band will perform the entire 12-song album live, then follow with a second set spanning highlights from Shepherd’s three-decade career. “This is the album that put me on the map, and I still enjoy listening to it because my goal has always been to make music I want to listen to—unfiltered and straight from the heart,” Shepherd says. Fans will recognize the fire that first defined Ledbetter Heights, now sharpened by refined arrangements and more nuanced, intentional guitar work. Expect the bluesy bluster of the opener “Born with a Broken Heart,” a slowed-down, smokier reinvention of “Riverside,” and the singular chemistry of longtime collaborators—including co-vocalist Noah Hunt and legendary drummer Chris “Whipper” Layton of Stevie Ray Vaughan

Spyro Gyra

In 2024, Jay Beckenstein and Spyro Gyra began observing their 50th anniversary, a milestone few bands in any genre achieve. What started in Buffalo, NY as a simple diversion — a group of friends gathering on their night off for a “Tuesday Night – Jazz Jam” that cost twenty-five cents at the door — evolved into one of the most successful jazz fusion groups in the world. Over the course of five decades, Spyro Gyra has released more than 30 albums, earning gold and platinum along the way, while performing over 10,000 concerts on six continents. From those early days of carefree jam sessions to recording career-defining albums like Morning Dance and Catching the Sun, the band’s journey has been marked by both continuity and evolution. Beckenstein’s saxophone remains the unmistakable voice of the group, while changing rhythm sections and new musical influences have kept the sound fresh and current. Through technology shifts, lineup changes, and a constantly changing musical landscape, Spyro Gyra has maintained the standards of excellence that secured their place on the “A list” of live jazz attractions for half a century. Now, Spyro Gyra continues to thrive as a true ensemble, with Beckenstein surrounded by a team of world-class musicians who bring their own voices to the music. Their performances today reflect the same energy, joy, and passion that sparked their beginnings, with a synergy that has only deepened over the decades. Don’t miss the chance to celebrate this extraordinary legacy and experience the evolution of jazz fusion when Spyro Gyra returns to Paramount Hudson Valley on March 14! *As a reminder, no outside food or drink permitted in the venue.
