Cheryl & Kurt

Cheryl and Kurt are a mostly acoustic country-rock guitar/harmonica duet — exciting and relaxing by turns — performing a diverse repertoire of topical songs, ballads, and stories both new and old. Kurt, an inventive country-rock guitarist playing in several styles, started performing out in 1967, opening for acts including Loudon Wainwright III at the Village Gaslight and Jim Kweskin, later, at Kenny's Castaways.

After moving to the Hudson Valley, Kurt led the Womblers, opening for acts like Procol Harum, The Byrds, Asleep at the Wheel, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John Sebastian, David Bromberg, etc. Cheryl brings sweet harmonies, melodic harmonica, tight percussion and on occasion is the sound-tech.

Cheryl & Kurt bring live music to people at home most Sunday nights at 7pm on The Nine Mile Swamp Facebook page.

The Kurt Henry Band

Like East Coast Country Rock? In addition to their sparkling acoustic duet, The Kurt Henry Band is still — sixty years later — the premier Catskill Region/Hudson Valley Country-Rock quartet composed of Kurt, Cheryl, Alan Groth (bass), and Chris Cullo (drums). Kurt's lively guitar work and diverse repertoire have made him a favorite opening act for dozens of international artists.
