A multi-purpose music space designed by The Band drummer Levon Helm himself, The Barn has hosted high-profile musicians like Courtney Barnett, Mumford & Sons, and Elvis Costello for audiences to enjoy from two levels surrounding the stage. Readers recognize the locale’s value both as a landmark and a hot spot for intimate concert experiences.

Ceramics
Fisheye Ceramics, Catskill
Catskill is in the midst of a rebirth, with many charming Main Street shops, including Fisheye Ceramics. Owner Kim Gilmour’s handcrafted pieces make lovely, one-of-a-kind gifts.

Music Classes for Adults
The Peterson Studio, Highland
Although learning an instrument as an adult may not be as easy as when you were a kid, readers appreciate the patient piano instructors at Peterson and agree that the results are worth the investment. After a series of private, group, or even remote lessons, you’ll be a virtuoso in no time.
