Three dates fill the next week in Nyack, and two of them are in the same room. Two songwriters share a Sunday afternoon bill at The Angel Nyack on November 15, the Rockland Pride Chorus takes the same stage on Thursday, November 19, and on Saturday, November 21, Perry Lawson Fine Art on North Broadway opens a group show of 30 artists working on tarot and oracle imagery.

Sunday, November 15: Joshua Garcia and Scott Cook

Voices on the Hudson is a monthly songwriter series at The Angel Nyack, 18 West Broadway, and a satellite of the Voices in the Heights series. November's bill pairs two folk songwriters with very different roads behind them.

Joshua Garcia comes out of the New York City folk scene. He grew up on Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, has opened twice for Don McLean, and has stepped back from performing in recent years.

Scott Cook was born in West Virginia and raised on the Canadian prairies. In 2007 he left a job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan to tour full time, and he has been on the road ever since. He is touring his eighth album, Troubadourly Yours.

The show runs from 4 to 6 p.m. in The Angel's Pitkin Room, with refreshments available. Tickets are $22 to $32 through The Angel Nyack's website.

Thursday, November 19: the Rockland Pride Chorus

The Rockland Pride Chorus brings an evening of music to The Angel Nyack on Thursday, November 19, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10.

Saturday, November 21: Tarot and Oracle at Perry Lawson Fine Art

Perry Lawson Fine Art, at 90 North Broadway, opens Tarot and Oracle: The Art of Divination on November 21. The group show gathers 30 artists working in a range of mediums around the imagery of tarot and oracle cards. The opening reception runs from 2 to 4 p.m. that Saturday, and the show stays up through January 17, 2027, which carries it through the holiday shopping season on North Broadway.

Getting there

The Angel Nyack is on West Broadway a block off Main Street, and Perry Lawson Fine Art is a short walk up North Broadway from the center of the village. Nyack is just off Exit 11 of the Thruway at the western end of the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, and the Hudson Link bus across the bridge connects Nyack with Tarrytown and White Plains for anyone coming from Westchester.
