The Dave Keyes & Tony Vee's Front Porch Blues Summit

The Dave Keyes & Tony Vee's Front Porch Blues Summit on Thursday, July 16, 2026, 7pm, celebrates the newly restored front veranda while raising funds to continue preservation efforts at the historic Harmony Hall–Jacob Sloat House. Audiences can expect an electrifying afternoon of Blues, Rock, and Soul from two acclaimed powerhouse performers.

Renowned keyboardist, vocalist, and songwriter Dave Keyes — a veteran of the Blues, Roots, and Americana music scenes — has shared stages worldwide with legends including Popa Chubby, Ronnie Spector, Bo Diddley, Sleepy LaBeef, and Alexis P. Suter. He is also widely recognized for serving as pianist and bandleader for more than 1,000 performances during the six-year Broadway run of the Grammy Award-winning musical Smokey Joe’s Cafe.

Dynamic guitarist and soulful vocalist Tony Vee leads the Hudson Valley favorites Uncle Shoehorn’s Big Easy and the New Yorleans Horns, known for their signature blend of New Orleans Funk and R&B. He honed his blues roots performing across the West Coast alongside legendary B3 organist Danny Abrams.

Come enjoy these two great blues players as they donate their time to help sustain the restoration of the Jacob Sloat House.
