The co-led, cooperative NY music project, Elysium Furnace Works is set to welcome the legendary creative forces Eugene Chadbourne and Jim McHugh in the Fall. The duo will perform at the VBI Theatre of Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center in Poughkeepsie on Sept. 14 at 8:00 PM.
Although this performance will not be the first time that the artists have performed as a dynamic duo, the musicians are both stars in their own right. Chadbourne is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, author, and all-around creative artist having performed on over 358 albums with artists ranging from John Zorn and Jello Biafra to the Violent Femmes and Camper Van Beethoven. His genre knows no bounds, originally exploring the conventions of rock and pop and later switching over to the bottleneck blues. On the other hand, McHugh took to rock music and stuck there, being an essential part of the New York City-based ensemble The Sunwatchers. The artist himself is an incredibly talented guitarist and vocalist whose contributions have shaped the band’s sound.
Together, the pair is unmatched, from their intimate live performances to their nine-track record Bad Scene released back in 2021. Eugene Chadbourne and Jim McHugh’s performance scheduled for Sept. 14 will see the duo perform original music, covers, and so much more. Interested parties can get their tickets here.
