About Me

HV SKA, GOT THE HV? ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- The Hudson Valley Ska Scene is downstate New York's home for ska music and those who love it, serving the bands and the fans all along the Hudson River. We're also a DIY Productions and Promotions company run by "the twins" Ben and Tony and local ska boss Joe Rude, putting on awesome shows for local ska bands and supporting incoming ska acts since 2006. HV Ska hosts shows all through the Hudson Valley, including dancehalls at The Juliet Café and “HV Ska Parties” at The Loft in Poughkeepsie. We also promote ska shows that we are not involved with and participate in other large area events.
We keep an updated page on myspace.com and facebook.com to inform our members and friends of upcoming shows and to help encourage talk about ska music and ska bands, and we're always looking for new ways to help ska bands and fans of ska music. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT INFO EMAIL- [email protected] PHONE NUMBER- ask in message for number AIM- something95, bennywise04 or JoeRude84JOIN THE HV SKA MAILING LIST!
