On Friday night, Woodstock gets a visitor who has spent the past year playing alongside symphony orchestras. St. Vincent plays Bearsville Theater on Friday, Oct. 30, and the first thing to know is the hardest: the venue's own listing now reads SOLD OUT.

That listing gives doors at 7 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m. The room holds about 500 people, which is the whole story of why the tickets went fast. If you didn't get one, Bearsville's event page is the place to watch for anything that opens up; be wary of resale listings, which we've seen starting above $300.

Woodstock lands at the end of a tight run for Annie Clark. Our listings have her in San Francisco on Oct. 22 and Detroit on Oct. 24, then three nights in Manhattan from Oct. 27 through Oct. 29, before she heads up the Thruway for this one. After a week of city rooms, a 500-cap theater in the Catskills is about as close-up as this tour gets.

It has been a busy stretch. Her most recent studio album is still 2024's *All Born Screaming*. In March, she released *Live in London!*, a recording of her 2025 BBC Proms performance with the Jules Buckley Orchestra, and the spring and summer brought festival dates at New Orleans Jazz Fest and Memphis's Riverbeat, plus a run of orchestral engagements announced in February: the Pittsburgh Symphony at Heinz Hall, the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall and the National Symphony Orchestra at Wolf Trap among them.

So what does Bearsville get? We don't know yet, and that's part of the appeal. The orchestral shows were special engagements with big ensembles; this is a small theater with a few hundred people close enough to see her hands on the guitar. Whatever the arrangement turns out to be, it will be the most intimate version of St. Vincent most people in the valley are likely to see. Our records show no earlier Hudson Valley date for her at all.

After a week of Manhattan stages, a 500-cap room in Woodstock is about as close-up as this tour gets.

Bearsville Theater has built that kind of night into a habit. Its calendar has room for everything from Steve Earle's *51 Years of Songs & Stories* to rock bands passing through, and the St. Vincent date is the clearest sign yet that touring artists see the room as more than a detour from the city.

If you're holding a ticket, the practical advice is simple. Doors at 7 means the good spots go early in a room this size, and a late-October Friday in Woodstock is rarely quiet. Eat in town before you head over, have your ticket ready, and check the venue's page on the day for any last notes on entry.

If you're not, there's a decent consolation: by Monday, the people who were there will be telling the story at every coffee counter between Kingston and Phoenicia. In a town that has always measured itself by the nights people talk about afterward, this looks like one of them.
