Cutting his teeth as the manager of the iconic Saratoga Springs listening room Caffe Lena, Reese Fulmer has emerged “with a poet’s sensibility rich with great storytelling and a healthy dose of irony.” (Viv Nesbitt, Art of the Song) The 2023 and 2024 Americana Artist of the Year at the Thomas Edison Music Awards, Reese and his band have become one of the fastest-rising groups in upstate NY with expansive live albums highlighting a reputation for compelling performances. With a rotating cast of talented players, a broad and dynamic body of work, and a refusal to set anything in stone, their shows are always fresh, full of joy, and hard to describe. Think Wilco with hints of Prine and Zappa.

For this performance, Reese Fulmer & The Carriage House Band will be performing as a quartet consisting of Reese Fulmer, Chris Bloniarz, Dylan Perrillo and Jimi Woodul.

“Smart, emotionally tuned arrangements and a stage presence that balanced earnestness with unpredictability. Their live performance thrives in the liminal space between genres folk, Americana, jazz and the result is a sound that’s complex without being convoluted. Fulmer, equal parts folk craftsman and indie provocateur, seemed fully in sync with the band’s fluid musicianship.

“[Reese Fulmer] has become an award winning songwriter with a poet’s sensibility rich with great storytelling, imagery and a healthy dose of irony. With The Carriage House Band he surrounds himself a revolving cast of extraordinary musicians. The band rarely has the same configuration twice, giving each concert a spontaneity that is electric.”   – Vivian Nesbitt (Art of the Song)
