Hudson Valley this week: Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam in Woodstock, Deerhoof and ADULT. at Assembly
Kingston and Woodstock split one of the best weeks of the fall: an anniversary tour at Bearsville on Saturday and a four-night run at Assembly.

On Saturday night, Route 212 is going to be a problem. Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam are at Bearsville Theater, Deerhoof is at Assembly in Kingston, and Orleans is at UPAC. All three start within half an hour of each other, so whichever you pick, you're giving up the other two.
The Hudson Valley has 15 shows listed from Monday, Nov. 2, through Sunday, Nov. 8. Here's the best of them, night by night.
Wed, Nov. 4 · Vieux Farka Touré at Assembly, 8 p.m. Assembly's Tixr page bills it as a benefit for the Ali Farka Touré Foundation, a good reason to start the week early.
Thu, Nov. 5 · ADULT. at Assembly, 8 p.m. A Place to Bury Strangers co-bills, making it the loudest night of the week in a 485-capacity room.
Thu, Nov. 5 · Hiss Golden Messenger at Bearsville Theater, 8 p.m. The Woodstock alternative on the same night, in a 500-capacity room.
Thu, Nov. 5 · Kiki Cavazos at Colony, 7 p.m. Jackson and the Janks open, with tickets from $15 to $35.
Sat, Nov. 7 · Hamilton Leithauser at Bearsville Theater, 8 p.m. He's sharing the stage with Rostam on The Joint Tour, which Spin reports is the pair's first official tour together, marking 10 years of their album *I Had a Dream That You Were Mine*. The run is only 11 shows long, and Woodstock is one of the smallest rooms on it.
Sat, Nov. 7 · Deerhoof at Assembly, 8 p.m. New Orthodox and Raven Chacon round out the strongest lineup of the week from top to bottom.
Sat, Nov. 7 · Orleans at Ulster Performing Arts Center, 7:30 p.m. It's the big-room option in Kingston, with seats for 1,510.
Sun, Nov. 8 · Willi Carlisle at Assembly, 8 p.m. It closes out Assembly's week on a Sunday night.
Sun, Nov. 8 · Yard Sale at Colony, 7 p.m. It's a cheap Sunday in Woodstock, with tickets from $15 to $20.
Earlier in the week and around the edges, Tubby's in Kingston has DITZ on Thursday, Fish Narc on Friday and Pink Stiletto with MVTANT on Saturday. All three play a room that holds about 100.
Assembly carries most of this week, with four shows in five nights, from a Malian guitar benefit to ADULT.'s Thursday and Deerhoof's Saturday. Bearsville takes the two biggest names, and Colony and Tubby's fill in the gaps.
If you only have one night, choose Saturday and decide which matters more to you. The Leithauser and Rostam date is a one-time anniversary run in a 500-capacity theater. Deerhoof's bill with Raven Chacon at Assembly might be the stranger and more surprising night. Either way, leave early and give yourself time to park.
