Bardavon Celebrates Van Morrison’s Moondance | January 27 It’s a marvelous night for a moondance—and the night of January 27, at 8pm, looks especially marvelous. For the date, the Bardavon in Poughkeepsie will host the latest in its ongoing online series of multi-artist tributes to classic albums: an all-star celebration of locally linked rock legend Van Morrison’s 1970 opus Moondance featuring Paula Cole, Rickie Lee Jones, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Ian Flanigan, Jesse Colin Young, Lindsey Webster, and others. The YouTube stream is free; donations are requested. Register at the Bardavon website.
