We are shedding a spotlight on Upstate New York rising star Kieran Rhodes. Kieran just wowed the Tarrytown Music Hall, opening up for Grammy-Nominated Platinum-Selling artist Five For Fighting. Kieran and I discuss his beginnings in music, his love of baseball, the audition on America's Got Talent that changed his life, and his new song, "Nobody Likes U."If you mixed Elton John's timeless melodies, Randy Newman's witty lyrics, Chris Martin's silky vocals, and then put them all together on a baseball diamond, you'd get Kieran Rhodes.Hailing from Upstate New York, Kieran was on track to play serious college baseball when he discovered a love for music in high school. He taught himself piano and began writing songs in his late teenage years. To date, the prolific and playful piano man has released eight singles and an EP, ‘On the Corner of Somewhere Street.’He is most recently known for his viral audition on season 17 of America’s Got Talent. Kieran won the hearts of millions around the world with his original song, ‘Disengage’ which chronicles a struggle with depression. With over 40 million views, the audition was praised by many including Billboard, Goldderby, and Simon Cowell himself.This past fall, Kieran was one of the artists at Sound on Sound Music Festival alongside greats, such as Red Hot Chili Peppers and John Mayer. In March, Kieran opened up for JP Saxe at The Fillmore in Washington, D.C. Kieran has exciting performances lined up for 2024, including his return to the festival stage at Boston Calling in May.
Welcome Hudson Valley! This is Conor Walsh, host of In Touch, Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley’s Award-Winning Public Affairs and Issues program. (I know we were promoting Warwick Cares for this week, but we had to reschedule that episode because of sickness. We will return to focus on Warwick Cares soon!)This week, we get to speak with Alissa Coschigano Mosca about Rocky’s Ruck for Johnny Cake. In her father’s honor, she and her family have partnered with Guardian Revival to raise funds to help sponsor service animals for veterans. We talk about the impact the Ruck has had on the Wappingers community along with the Hudson Valley military community at large, and how folks can contribute. We invite you to listen to a previously recorded conversation between Alissa and myself here on In Touch About "Johnny Cake"John "Johnny Cake" Coschigano Jr was a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corp, joining the service when he was 17 years old. He served in the Vietnam War. He was married to Ann Coschigano for 53 years and had two children, Daniel and Alissa. John resided in Wappingers Falls with his wife Ann for 31 years. He had an Emotional Support Dog named Rocky, who was his best friend and never left his side. When he was 34, he developed an interest in Woodturning, teaching himself different styles, fascinated by wood and the things he could make out of it. He began to do art shows all over the county to sell his wood pieces, where they would become great decor for someone's home. He was a man of few words, but he was full of passion and heart.Rocky's Ruck for Johnny CakeRocky's Ruck for Johnny CakeLater in life, John suffered through some major injuries and illnesses, resulting in several operations internally, as well as to his back and foot, which should have left him in a wheelchair. He refused to ever be pushed around (literally) and fought through all of his pain, nerve damage and issues in an effort to continue living his life as uninterrupted as possible. Though, as he aged, this became more difficult for him to overcome. As he started to spend more time at home and on the couch, he was faced with memories that he didn't want to relive.As John got older, he found himself affected by PTSD more and more. When he turned 70, nights were no longer pleasant as his dreams were often haunted by memories of War. He continued his battle with PTSD, silently fighting off thoughts that caused pain and heartache. At the age of 73, John lost his battle with PTSD on September 6th 2022.Rocky's Ruck For Johnny CakeTo commemorate her dad, Alissa Coschigano Mosca and her family started "Rocky's Ruck for Johnny Cake" on his anniversary, it is about a 5-mile ruck march starting at the cemetery where he lays to rest, Wappingers Rural Cemetery to the War Memorial on All Angels Hills Road, right down the road from where her parents lived. This ruck was started last year, as a way to honor Johnny Cake, for being the man that he was and to bring more attention to the many who battle with PTSD.Alissa says,He is someone that I have always looked up to, someone who supported me and was my best friend. By rucking in his honor, we hope to raise money and support for a charity that provides a K9 for every veteran battling with PTSD. Rocky brought our dad happiness and light when things seemed sad and dark, and we are hoping to help provide that for all others in need of happiness, joy and support that a service animal can bring.Through partnering with Guardian Revival, Alissa and her family hope to support those who may not be in a place to ask for help, those who dedicated their life to serving our country and returned with scars that we will never be able to see. A dog is so much more than a pet. They provide unconditional love, support, happiness and smiles, all while focusing their attention on the one that stands beside them. A dog can save a life in ways that some may never understand. Alissa says, "W ...
We are shedding a spotlight on award-winning songwriter Gary Burr, who has just launched his debut novel, Reunion. As a Nashville Hall of Fame songwriter, Gary has written hits for stars like Ringo Starr, Reba McEntire, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Kenny Logins, Richard Marx, Kenny Chesney and more, plus helping to launch the career of other artists like Faith Hill.Reunion, a rock and roll fairy tale that reached #1 in New Releases on Amazon, imagines a Beatles reunion concert organized by Paul McCartney, blending nostalgia, humor, and heart. As Gary explains to me in our interview below, the story takes place in a "What If" scenario, imagining a world where John Lennon never got assassinated. Gary was able to put together this fictional tale after working with Beatle drummer Ringo Starr for about 20 years.In addition to the novel, Gary shares insights on his journey as a songwriter, his work with music legends, and the enduring influence of The Beatles.Listen to the Full Interview w/ Gary Burr Below ?Who is Gary Burr?GARY BURR is one of Nashville’s most accomplished songwriters with 32 top forty hits, 24 top tens, and 14 number-one songs. One of the rare breed who writes hits alone as well as co-writing, Gary is a favorite collaborator of writing icons such as Carole King, Richard Marx, Don Schlitz, Victoria Shaw, Kenny Loggins … even Ringo Starr!His songs have been recorded by Christina Aguilera, Juice Newton, Garth Brooks, Kenny Rogers, Joe Cocker, Reba McEntire, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Michael Bolton, Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Kelly Clarkson, and many others. He’s been named Songwriter of the Year by Billboard and ASCAP, twice by the NSAI, and has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame.Gary has been teaching songwriting courses to a new generation of musicians and was featured in the Poets and Prophets series by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Over the years Gary has kept his joy of music alive by keeping his hand in as many musical adventures as he can… replacing Vince Gill as the lead singer in the seminal country-rock group Pure Prairie League; spent years writing and performing with pop legend Carole King; guitarist/vocalist for Ringo Starr in his band The Roundheads; is a member of the group Laurel Canyon Band (with Mark Mirando and Mark Hudson), and co-founded Blue Sky Riders (with Georgia Middleman and Kenny Loggins).In the early 2000s, Gary was invited to work on a record with Ringo Starr, beginning a decades-long friendship that continues to this day. They have now recorded ten albums together. He has just written and produced a country single for Ringo that will be released in March of ‘24.

Today we are shedding a spotlight on New York City musician Leo Sawikin. He is excited to be playing at Daryl's House on Sunday, September 22nd. We talk about his latest releases and how working with Seattle producer Phil Ek has helped to unlock his latest sound. New York City singer / songwriter Leo Sawikin has released “What Is The Answer,” on July 10. The song and upcoming debut album was recorded at Studio Litho in Seattle with producer Phil Ek (Grouplove, Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse) and mastered by Greg Calbi (The Smile, Bob Dylan, Bon Iver) at Sterling Sound. “What Is The Answer” is the follow up to “Till You’re Somebody Else,” released April 2 - listen HERE + watch the lyric video HERE. It reached the #1 spot on the Mediabase A/C Independent Artists Chart, has been in the Top 30 for ten weeks. It also reached #26 on Billboard’s AC Chart. “’What Is The Answer’ is a song that asks what consciousness is and questions whether it’s something that transcends our physical lives or ends when we pass,” says Sawikin. “Will there be pain, or will it be peaceful? It also ties into the theme of ‘Till You’re Somebody Else,’ in that it sees our current lives as just a moment in our existence.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Leo Sawikin (@leosawikin)Sawikin, the former front man of the indie band The Chordaes, describes his solo work as “indie folk pop with a dreamy shimmer,” and it’s apparent in songs he’s already released including “Till You’re Somebody Else.” Other tracks include “Hold On” which Earmilk calls “a “…masterpiece” And said the song “…takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster that they won't soon forget. “Hold On” showcases Leo Sawikin's innate talent and ability to craft introspective and relatable songs.” “The Same Mistakes” had Celeb Mix raving, “…a low-slung, softly gleaming guitar topped by Sawikin’s oh-so evocative voice, at once tender and wistful…rolls into a delicious, throbbing rhythm, swaying on gentle undulations. Slowly building, the tune takes on a glowing wall of sound, full of enveloping resonance and gorgeous, shimmering coloration.” Neufutur hailed Sawikin’s vocals on “Don’t Pass It By” as “…a deeply felt, attentive, and highly musical performance…That falsetto note during the song’s chorus puts a graceful touch on an already elegant performance…” Other recent releases include “New York I’m Coming Home”, an uplifting song about the joys of coming home after a long trip and seeing your surroundings with fresh eyes, as well as “This River”.

New York-based singer-songwriter Shane Rennison, known for his soulful energy and captivating live performances, just released his highly anticipated debut album, ‘IRRATIONAL’. Over the years, Shane has garnered a dedicated following with his unique blend of indie pop rock. Characterized by acoustic and electric guitar, unique drum patterns, and synth piano, Shane draws comparisons to renowned artists like Vampire Weekend, Passion Pit, and Harry Styles. At the arrival of ‘IRRATIONAL’, Shane reaches a significant milestone in his burgeoning career. Singer-songwriter Shane Rennison, renowned for infusing his music with genuine soulfulness and heartfelt lyrics, is gearing up to mesmerize audiences once again with a new single, "What You Need To Know".Following the success of his "Nice To Meet You" EP, which offered a sincere exploration of Shane Rennison's emotions and his connection to his beloved Catskills Mountains, he is ready to return with his first 2024 release.Produced by the talented Julian Giaimo, “What You Need To Know” was written on the acoustic guitar by Shane and together they were able to pay homage to it in the production process by laying down an integral part of the rhythm on a 12-string acoustic. "This song as a whole is about meeting someone who is self-absorbed and used to getting everything they want based on their looks," shares Rennison, shedding light on the inspiration behind the track. "It's about telling them what they need to know in order to grow emotionally and avoid the pitfalls of being self-absorbed long-term." With its indie pop/rock vibes and a happy and energetic mood, "What You Need To Know" is sure to stay in your head long after its last note. From its infectious rhythms to its soul-stirring lyrics, the single offers a powerful message of growth and self-discovery, echoing the themes that define Shane Rennison's musical journey. "What You Need To Know" serves as a teaser for the artist’s upcoming album, ‘IRRATIONAL’, which released on June 28th, 2024. This album promises to showcase Shane Rennison's evolution as an artist, offering a diverse array of tracks that speak to the soul and uplift the spirit.

While Tony Danza was attending the 2024 Little League World Series in Cooperstown, New York, the crowd put on an impromptu display, honoring one of the actor's most iconic roles.Tony explains,"My grandson was playing for the Batters... Conor, you won't believe this! This happened! So, the last game Saturday night, I was sitting in the bleachers. All of a sudden, 10 or 12 of the parents come out of the bleachers and stand on the field. I'm thinking, "What the hell are they doing?" All of a sudden, they break into the "You Gotta Believe" Angels in the Outfield wave! They start doing the "You Gotta Believe" wave! And I come out, and I start doing it, and then the whole crowd started doing it! I wish I had a video, it was unbelievable!"I wish I were there to witness that in Cooperstown! What an amazing experience. Honestly, the few minutes I got talking with Tony were truly amazing and inspiring! You can listen to the full interview below, and you can get a sneak peak of his latest single "One Too Many" with Peter Cincotti here.Tony Danza is set to open the Café Carlyle Fall 2024 Season with a brand-new show, “Tony Danza: Sinatra & Stories” beginning September 10 through September 21, 2024.Danza has been actively touring with his hit live show, “Tony Danza: Standards & Stories,” which debuted at Café Carlyle and enjoyed numerous sold out runs at the venue.Now Danza returns to Café Carlyle to debut his new show, which pays homage to the music of the legendary Frank Sinatra, whom Danza had a personal relationship with.In this special engagement, Danza, accompanied by his four-piece band, will bring his trademark wit, charm, storytelling, and a touch of soft shoe and ukulele performances to a selection of Sinatra’s timeless classics. The show promises to blend Danza’s captivating personal anecdotes with the unforgettable music of one of America’s most iconic crooners.The New York Times previously raved, Tony’s a live wire who tap-dances, plays the ukulele, tells stories and radiates irresistible charm… He exudes the kind of charisma that can’t be taught!” Broadway World highlighted his performance, stating, “His voice and showmanship is a welcome reminder of why the standards are just that—because they're timeless.” Scott Spears of WWGH Radio added, “The man has TRUE stage presence like we don’t see anymore.

Hey, you're Keepin' Company w/ Conor, and thank you for checking out another Townsquare Spotlight! Today, we are shedding some light on local Hudson Valley author Bree L Taylor. She is the author of the new book, "Walking in her Own Shoes." We discuss the novel, her faith which inspired her to write, and some of the amazing and unbelievable true stories that made their way into the book! About the Book, "Walking in Her Own Shoes"Ariana through her childhood, and maturing through her teens, until she married, was the product of two controlling parents, who loved through discipline and molding their children, into who they wanted them to be, leaving no room for individuality. As she matures, she fights her way through obstacles, coming to terms with who she is and what her purpose is in the vast canvas of her life. That journey cost her in both sad and wonderful ways. She longs to discover who she is and where in life she needs to be.About the Author - Bree L TaylorBree L. Taylor believes the day and age in which we live, almost every person you meet is going through some kind of trial or disappointing family situation. The world itself, is in a difficult place, her character’s journey is extraordinary and her will to persevere and succeed through faith is remarkable. As she matures, she realizes many of the “whys” which have brought her through each trial. Her path also crosses others that have had obstacles to overcome and sometimes those trials cost them – turning the course of their lives.[brandedapppromo]Bree’s travels have allowed her to study those she has met not only here but abroad; from entrepreneurs to hardworking folks making ends meet, and witnessing their uphill climb. She has spoken with professionals whose job it is to help others when their life becomes too hard for them to deal with both physically and emotionally. The embodiment of her work takes into account all that she has gleaned from these experiences. She has also has faith in what a greater force than man can, and is willing, to do.

Hey, you're Keepin' Company w/ Conor, and thank you for checking out another Townsquare Spotlight! Today, we are shedding some light on political strategist, philanthropist, and advocacy consultant Luis A. Miranda Jr.Published with Hachette, Relentless: My Story of the Latino Spirit that is Transforming America, in both English and Spanish, Luis shares the story of his life and career – from his early days as a Puerto Rican activist to the decades of political strategy and Latino community organizing right up to this crucial 2024 election year. Readers will experience the thrill of the ascendency of Hamilton, created by his son Lin-Manuel Miranda, the family’s remarkable humanitarian action after the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria, and all the grit, triumphs, and challenges of Luis’ ongoing work in an ever-changing political climate. The book is part memoir, part political playbook, and all heart. About the Author, Luis A. Miranda Jr.Luis A. Miranda Jr. arrived in New York City from Puerto Rico in 1974 to study psychology at NYU but soon found himself drawn to community action when he organized his neighbors to fight for better schools for their children. In the 1980s he was a special advisor for Hispanic Affairs to Mayor Ed Koch, and he continued to serve in key roles for the Dinkins and Giuliani administrations. As a founding partner of the MirRam Group, Miranda has consulted on several successful political campaigns, including the senatorial campaigns of Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, Senator Chuck Schumer, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Most recently he managed New York Attorney General Letitia James’ successful reelection. Miranda is the founding president of the Hispanic Federation and is currently the chairperson of the Latino Victory Fund, the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance, Viva Broadway, and the Public Theater. He is a board member of The City, and former chair of the Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center.RELENTLESS My Story of the Latino Spirit That Is Transforming America By Luis A. Miranda, Jr. with Richard Wolffe Featuring a foreword by his son, Lin-Manuel Miranda In 1974, Luis A. Miranda Jr. could not have anticipated the far-reaching effects and reverberations of his decision to study psychology at New York University instead of law in his native Puerto Rico. Little did he know that his seemingly personal choice would go on to significantly influence American politics and culture throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Sometime after arriving in New York City, Miranda found himself drawn to community action, such as improving employment opportunities for people of color and organizing his neighbors to fight for better schools for their children. Seeing the political potential within the varied Latino population in the city, Miranda sought to bring them together and ensure their voices found representation. As his influence began to grow, so did his reach across local, state, and national arenas. In RELENTLESS: My Story of the Latino Spirit that is Transforming America (Hachette Books, 5/7/24, 9780306833229), Miranda shares the poignant narrative of his life and career—from his early days as a radically-minded Puerto Rican activist, to his decades of political advice and problem-solving. Amid the triumphs, challenges, and ongoing hard work, Miranda examines what his experience reveals about our ever-changing politics and democracy, demographics, and society. In RELENTLESS, readers can look forward to discovering: Miranda’s work in New York City with numerous mayoral administrations from Koch, Dinkins, and Giuliani (the latter ending in Miranda’s resignation due to ethical concerns that made it impossible for him to continue working for the administration)Miranda’s key role in organizing and galvanizing the Latino community for numerous political candidates including Hillary Clinton, Letitia James, Kirsten ...

An informal caregiver is an unpaid individual (for example a spouse, partner, family member, friend, or neighbor) involved in assisting others with activities of daily living and or medical tasks. A formal caregiver is a paid care provider, providing care in one’s own home or care setting.AtYourHome,LLC is not just a non-medical and home care services agency we want to be an extension of your family. Our job at AtYourhome, LLC is to assist the Informal Caregivers in the ability to provide care, stability, comfort, socialization, activity, and safety for their loved ones as well as maintain their own lives. Based on information from the Family Caregiver Alliance, caregivers can suffer from mental, emotional, and physical deterioration of their own personal health after one year of taking care of a loved one. The percentage can increase if the loved one lives within the home. “Caregiver Burnout” also known as caregiver “strain or burden” is a term coined by the mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion of taking care of a loved one (Aginginplace. org 2022-18-7).When you hire AtYourHome,LLC you are deciding to get the additional help you need.

Can I just say that AJ Croce is one of the coolest musicians around? I had the honor and pleasure to speak with AJ ahead of his upcoming Hudson Valley performance talking about love, loss, and his father, Jim Croce's legacy. I've been a fan of his father's music for years, and the two of them have been major inspirations for me, as a musician myself. This interview was very special for me, and I am incredibly grateful for AJ's time.Billboard charting singer/songwriter A.J. Croce will be performing at the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater on Thursday, May 2nd on his special “Croce Plays Croce 50th Anniversary Tour” in honor of the memory of his late, legendary father, hitmaker singer-songwriter, Jim Croce ("Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", "Time In A Bottle", "Operator", "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", and many more). The performance will celebrate Jim Croce’s legendary work, coinciding with the recent BMG release of the 3 CD or 3 LP compilation project, “THE DEFINITIVE CROCE,” which includes Jim’s iconic albums “LIFE AND TIMES,” “I GOT A NAME” and “YOU DON’T MESS AROUND." Tickets for the “Croce Plays Croce 50th Anniversary Tour” are available now and can be purchased at www.ajcrocemusic.com.Says A.J.,“We’ll be playing songs representative from all three albums, and also some songs the audience might not know from more obscure artists that I realized connected me and my father. It was those songs that eventually led me to do this show in the first place.” He adds, “People often come in thinking the show will be a quiet, nostalgic, precious display of my father’s songs – but it’s not precious at all. We give them an energetic, live show. The audience expects one thing, but by the time they leave, they realize they’ve experienced something completely different -- and they leave not only with a new perspective on Jim, but as fans of mine as well. That’s something that has also made this whole experience really amazing.”Over the past three decades, A.J. Croce has established his reputation as a piano player and vocal stylist who pulls from a host of musical traditions and anti-heroes — part New Orleans, part juke joint, part soul. From his 10 studio albums, it’s clear that he holds an abiding love for all types of musical genres: blues, soul, pop, jazz, and rock n’ roll. A virtuosic piano player, A.J toured with B.B. King and Ray Charles before reaching the age of 21, and over his career, he has performed with a wide range of legendary musicians, from Willie Nelson to the Neville Brothers, to Béla Fleck and Ry Cooder. A.J. has also co-written songs with such formidable tunesmiths as Leon Russell, Dan Penn, Robert Earl Keen, and multi-Grammy winner Gary Nicholson. His albums have all charted on an impressive array of charts: Top 40, blues, Americana, jazz, college and Radio 1. The Nashville-based singer/songwriter has landed 22 singles on a variety of Top 20 charts. His songwriting and style has evolved from jazz & blues on his debut and sophomore albums, to the roots-rock of the more recent collaborative recordings like “Cantos” with Ben Harper, “Twelve Tales” with Allen Toussaint, and “Just Like Medicine” with Vince Gill. ABOUT “THE DEFINITIVE CROCE”:BMG celebrates what would have been Jim Croce’s 80th birthday and marks 50 years since his untimely passing with “The Definitive Croce,” a collection of his unparalleled run of studio albums released in 1972 and 1973 — available as a limited 3LP (180-gram black vinyl) or 3CD set. Disc 1 is the 1972 studio album “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim” which reached #1 and RIAA certified Gold®, featuring the #1 hit single “Time In A Bottle,” plus the hits “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim” and “Operator (That’s Not The Way It Feels).” Disc 2 is the 1973 studio album “Life and Times,” which reached the Top 10, RIAA certified Gold®, and features the RIAA certified Gold® #1 single “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” plus the hit “One Less Set Of Footsteps.” Disc 3 is the final Jim Croce studio album ...
I've been blessed to talk to some incredible people lately, and this man is no exception! I got to speak with actor Clint Howard ahead of his upcoming multi-episode guest appearance on the CBS soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful." You can see Clint Howard play the mysterious homeless man Tom on CBS on April 26th and 29th 1:30 EST.You'll recognize Clint from projects such as "Apollo 13," "The Waterboy," "Star Trek," "Austin Powers," "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and more! And yes, if you were wondering, Clint is a part of that Howard family in Hollywood. He is the younger brother to actor and director Ron Howard, and uncle to actor and director Bryce Dallas Howard. From his acting debut at age two on "The Andy Griffith Show" to his first lead role in the TV series "Gentle Ben," including roles throughout so many blockbuster films, art-house films, ever-popular cult horror films, and valued comedies, with a rare voice adding life to multiple characters of Disney, Clint Howard is an iconic Hollywood Legend who is ever solid, energetic, and always readily prepared to contribute his talents. He is one of very few if any who has had a unique five-generation Star Trek run, including episodes in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds", "Star Trek: Discovery," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," "Star Trek: Enterprise," all the way to "Star Trek: The Original Series." He is also one of the few actors to have acted in both Star Trek and Star Wars. You may remember, In 2012, he appeared as Hurst Romodi in a commercial for the video game Kinect Star Wars. Six years later, he had a brief role as Ralakili in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Clint Howard has played such a variety of roles ready to take on any acting challenge. He is the ultimate chameleon of television and film. Clint has played a variety of characters over the years in several classic films along with hundreds of other titles through his 60 years of acting. He has consistently worked well alongside Hollywood's fellow top actors throughout the decades, and has fully committed himself to every character in parts large and small. He has carried unique roles echoing through the generations in some of Hollywood's most memorable roles, still driving forth full steam ahead, ready to take on his next acting persona.

I had one of the best days of my radio career: I got to speak with one of my favorite musical artists of all time - John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting. His albums Slice and Bookmarks are two of my favorite albums ever, and "Superman (It's Not Easy) is my favorite song of all time. I was a Superman fan from a young age, so naturally, the song resonated with me because of that. My dad would rock me to sleep to the song most nights. I'll forever connect the song with my dad and I growing up. Over the years, the song has taken many forms for me, and it has gotten me through some hard times.Townsquare Spotlight w/ John Ondrasik of Five For FightingHence why it was an honor to speak with John Ondrasik this weekend. John and I talk about his latest "Music Matters Challenge" in conjunction with Music in Our Schools Month. We also talk about how John is no stranger to writing songs with strong social messages. His latest single "OK" dives into the catastrophes happening in Israel. John shares accounts of his recent visit to Israel and performing for refugees. Lastly, we talk of the legacy songs like "Superman (It's Not Easy)" and "100 Years" have had on the social consciousness. Catching Up w/ GRAMMY Nominated Five For Fighting In the two decades since Five for Fighting’s first major single, “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” hit the stratosphere, Five For Fighting (aka John Ondrasik), has released six studio LPs, including the platinum-certified “America Town” and “The Battle for Everything;” and the top-10 charting “Two Lights,” along with an EP and live albums. A post 9-11 anthem, Ondrasik performed “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” at the 2001 Concert for New York, a benefit show at Madison Square Garden that honored first responders and the fallen about a month after the tragic September 11th attacks. Ondrasik has penned major hits, including the chart-topping “100 Years,” “The Riddle,” “Chances,” “World,” and “Easy Tonight,” which have earned tens of millions of streams and placed him as a top-10 Hot Adult Contemporary artist for the 2000s. The reflective “100 Years” has joined “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” as part of the American Songbook and continues to stand the test of time. Five For Fighting’s music has also been featured in more than 350 films, television shows, and commercials, including the Oscar-winning “The Blind Side,” “Hawaii Five-O,” “The Sopranos,” and the CBS drama, “Code Black.” For more information visit: www.fiveforfighting.com.

Welcome Hudson Valley to this week’s edition of IN TOUCH, the award-winning public affairs and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations. This week on In Touch, I speak with Krista Collopy, Senior Regional Director of Comfort Zone Camp. Besides being an amazing program that offers all of the traditional activities like playing games, sports, rock climbing, archery, camping, arts and crafts, bonfires, smores and more, Comfort Zone Camp’s main mission is to support families who are grieving the death of a loved one. While having fun in a camp setting, participants also acquire the tools and skills to help cope with their loss. Krista was once a camper and talks about her personal experience in the program and how it helped after the loss of her dad. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Comfort Zone Camp offers meaningful opportunities that can forever impact the lives of those who attend. We invite you to join us and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Krista and myself here on In Touch. __________________________________________________________________ This has been this week’s edition of IN TOUCH, the award-winning public affairs and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations.

Welcome Hudson Valley to this week�s edition of IN TOUCH, the award-winning public affairs and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations. This week�s guest is AWARENESS Inc. AWARENESS was started by Marie Shultis 17 years ago. AWARENESS started as a Mentoring Program as a result of an underage drinking party. The program was started to change the culture of substance use for future generations. It was defined as a teen-initiated prevention program in Ulster County with adult guidance. It is aimed at giving middle school youth alternative activities provided by High School students who complete training created by Ulster County Mental Health Association to promote pro-social skills during recreational activities that constitute healthy alternatives to drug and alcohol use. The Awareness Alcohol Program was formed in 2007 when teen Mentors reached out to their peers that were involved in a fatal drunk driving car crash on prom night that took the life of a friend. In 2009 AWARENESS expanded to cover substance use. In the last 17 years, AWARENESS has worked diligently in the Hudson Valley to help save lives. They have won multiple Chronogrammy Awards for Youth Advocacy, including this year. This episode is a bit different from other episodes. Today, you�re going to hear from many individuals speaking about their experience with AWARENESS. Marie Shultis will be popping in every once and a while, but the focus of this episode is the many voices that make up this program and give it life. There is a lot to get into, so we are just going to jump into all clips. __________________________________________________________________ I�m proud to announce that In Touch has won the 2023 New York State Broadcasters Association Award for �Outstanding Public Affairs Program or Series,� as part of the 57th Annual Excellence in Broadcasting Awards.

The pools get unveiled, and it is almost like an unofficial start to summer. Let us not forget; however, that for many, this day is sacred. The whole point of Memorial Day is to mourn and celebrate the US military personnel who have died while serving in the armed forces. The Hyde Park Education Foundation is doing a phenomenal job to bring back a beautiful Memorial Day event that both celebrates our armed forces and unites us a community.The event is the Field of Honor�; it's a display of 250+ full-sized American flags on the lawn in front of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Historic Site off of Route 9. The event is organized by the Hyde Park Education Foundation. Hyde Park had their first event in 2018 and then in 2019. Due to the pandemic, the event did not happen in 2020 and 2021. Now that it is back, Field of Honor� is excited to host hundreds of American flags flying in an inspiring, patriotic display honoring veterans, first responders, Hometown Heroes, and those we love and cherish. The event is free to the public, but donations are greatly appreciated. The weekend will have fun, family-friendly activities such as live local music and entertainment, story walks, and kids tents with crafts and gamesAll the money raised from Field of Honor� go towards the mission of the Hyde Park Education Foundation- provide funds for the students of Hyde Park Central School District (HPCSD), to enhance and encourage the opportunities and the well-being of the student of the HPCSD.Hyde Park Education Foundation, 2022 Field of Honor(R)Hyde Park Education Foundation, 2022 Field of Honor(R)Members of the community are invited to sponsor a 3ft by 5ft American-made flag that will fly on an 8-foot flagpole out on the FDR Home Lawn.

Today�s guests are Ed Ryan and Byron Robertson from Beltone Hearing. Since May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, we discuss the importance of getting your hearing tested regularly.

It�s a jam-packed episode, but it's filled with a lot of energy and light.

Seeds of GrowthMay being Mental Health Awareness Month reminds Astor Services of the phrase "April showers bring May flowers" to apply to any storm we weather. The new Astor logo now includes "a flower, representing our desire to help our clients blossom and flourish," as our CEO Yvette Bairan wrote in her announcement about the recent agency rebranding. Jennifer Brody along with many of the counselors at Astor love METAPHORS, and as clinicians and supervisors, they often use these with our clients and supervisees. The metaphor of any helping connection being an opportunity for the helper to be gardener to "plant a seed" and be a witness and cultivator of all that can grow (and blossom and flourish) is very inspiring!Astor ServicesAstor ServicesAge Expansion for Astor to Cover All Ages and StagesIn addition to the many outpatient clinics, clients at the Poughkeepsie Clinic on Lincoln Avenue can now be from ages 0-26 and their caregivers of any age can have their own counseling services:Astor ServicesAstor ServicesHelp for the HelpersGiven all that counselors at Astor balance with regard to energy when they work so closely with they clients, they need to make sure they are as healthy as they can be � physically and mentally, as well, so one way to do this is to use creative counseling techniques.

May is Mental Health Awareness MonthAs we�ve mentioned before, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental Health Awareness Month began in the United States in 1949 and was started by the Mental Health America (MHA) organization. Each year in mid-March Mental Health America releases a toolkit of materials to guide preparation for outreach activities during Mental Health Awareness Month. During the month of May, MHA, its affiliates, and other organizations interested in mental health conduct a number of activities which are based on a different theme each year. The 2023 Mental Health Month Campaign is focused on how surroundings impact mental health, and we are calling for individuals to look around, look within. Topics that are being specifically addressed include: Safe and Stable Housing Healthy Home Environments Neighborhoods and Towns The Outdoors and Nature The purpose of Mental Health Awareness Month is to raise awareness and educate the public about: mental illnesses, such as the 18.1% of Americans who suffer from depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder;[12] the realities of living with these conditions; and strategies for attaining mental health and wellness. It also aims to draw attention to suicide, which can be precipitated by some mental illnesses. Additionally, Mental Health Awareness Month strives to reduce the stigma that surrounds mental illnesses. For more information on Mental Health Awareness Month, please visit MHANational.org.
Welcome Hudson Valley to this week�s edition of IN TOUCH, the public affairs and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations. This week�s guest Julia Lybolt, Sullivan County Therapist with Bridge Back to Life. Bridge Back to Life Center originated in 1988 in the NYC area, until recently when in January 2022 where they had their ribbon cutting ceremony for the first and only mobile treatment unit for outpatient services for addiction counseling. The unit was a direct response to the opioid epidemic in Sullivan County. The MTU is designed to provide outpatient services for Alcohol and Drug addictions in the most rural areas in our county where some people cannot go to a traditional brick and mortar location within their area and sometimes have to drive almost an hour or more to get to one. Julia is a returning guest to In Touch. When she was originally on, she spoke with our previous host and producer Paty Quin about how Sullivan County was the highest in all of NYS for Drug overdoses. Today, we caught up with Julia to see where things stand today, and how much the Mobile Treatment Unit has grown over the last year. We invite you to join us and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Julia and myself here on In Touch. ____________________________________________________________We here at In Touch are all about, well, being In touch with what is going on in the Hudson Valley.

Mental Health Awareness MonthAs we�ve mentioned before, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Substance Abuse and Addiction, which we talked about today, only make up of portion of the grand scheme of Mentla Health. There are many reasons why people decide to drink and use drugs. But the increasing use of drugs and drinking can come with serious risks and devastating consequences. Substance abuse affects an estimated 25 million Americans. In terms of people who are affected indirectly such as families of those struggling with addiction and those injured or killed by intoxicated drivers, an additional 40 million people are affected. The monetary cost to society and the economy because of reduced productivity, property damage, accidents, and health care are astounding. Alcoholism (heavy drinking) afflicts 16 million adults and almost 300,000 children annually. An estimated 21.6 million Americans (age 12 and older) are addicted to other drugs such as sedative-hypnotics or opiates, sedatives, hallucinogens and psychostimulants. People with depression or other mental health problems are particularly vulnerable to alcohol and drug use. Some may choose to drink alcohol or take drugs to alleviate stress or emotional pain, but doing so often can develop or worsen mental health conditions. People who use alcohol or other drugs should get checked for depression, anxiety disorders and other mental illnesses. It's also helpful to screen for the severity of substance abuse problems. Getting help through education, support groups, or counseling can help get people back on the right track Mental Health Awareness Month began in the United States in 1949 and was started by the Mental Health America (MHA) organization. Each year in mid-March Mental Health America releases a toolkit of materials to guide preparation for outreach activities during Mental Health Awareness Month.

Happy Holidays! It�s hard to believe that it�s only two weeks until Christmas, and three weeks until the new year. One thing I�m grateful for this holiday season are the connections that I�ve made through In Touch, and the fact I�ve been able to share it with you. Though it�s only 2 weeks until Christmas, we have plenty of time to be charitable and spread goodwill toward man. This week�s guest on In Touch is Richmond Arce from Astor Services. Astor Services offers Family Driven Care, providing children�s mental health, child welfare, and early childhood development services in New York�s Mid-Hudson Valley region and the Bronx since 1953. Astor Services is once again holding their Adopt-A-Family program to support Astor families during the holidays. Not just that, we discuss a number of the stigmas still following mental health in this post-pandemic world, along with breaking stigmas about Astor Services themselves, assuring that they offer comprehensive care for families as a whole. We invite you to join us, and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Richmond Arce and myself here on In Touch. __________________________________________________________________ This has been this week�s edition of IN TOUCH, the public affairs and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations.

Welcome Hudson Valley to this week�s edition of IN Touch, the public affairs and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations. This week, we are speaking with Jesse Chance, the Director of the Hyde Park Library. Growing up, I�ll admit, I was never one to step into a library.

Jesse and I talk about the importance and roll that the library holds in Hyde Park, and the responsibility that it has in being a community anchor. We talk about the importance of free resources, uncensored education, and open conversations in the face of learning, development, and progress. Jesse and I discuss many of the incredible programs the library offers, such as their October Backyard Concert Series, their latest STEM program, Banned Book Events, and more. We invite you to join us, and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Jesse Chance and myself here on In Touch.
