Golfstrom calls what it plays “vintage old-world music.” What exactly is that? Popular music of the 1930s through the 1960s from regions in Europe and America. Band members are Jonathan Greene (clarinet and a 2007 Skidmore graduate), Sergei Nirenburg (accordion), Bobby Kendall (bass and a 2005 Skidmore graduate), and Brian Melick (percussion). The band will be making its Upbeat debut, performing well-known tunes and hidden gems for audiences to discover.

For its 18th season, the Upbeat on the Roof summer series highlights regional musical talent every Thursday, July 5 through August 30 from 7:00 - 8:00 pm.

Performances are free and open to the public. The rooftop is accessible via the museum elevator or outdoor staircases. In the case of inclement weather the series is held inside the museum.
