The Hudson Valley Blues Society and Croton Falls Community Church present “Blues at Noon”, an afternoon of blues music with the Agape Blues Company.
Established in 2012, the Agape Blues Company is the premier gospel blues band serving the New York capitol region. Their sound can be classified as a mix of Chicago and Texas style blues. They play many original songs, as well as classic blues songs with modified lyrics, to bring a message of joy and hope.
The Agape Blues Company has taken many well-known hymns and “bluesified” them into what they call “Barrelhouse Hymns.” They were the recipient of the 2016 Capitol District Music Award for “Best Inspirational Group.”
The Hudson Valley Blues Society is dedicated to preserving and promoting blues music throughout the New York Hudson Valley area.
