If you are interested in performing at the 2009 Taste of Hudson please contact Matt Lerner, Entertainment at matthewlerner@yahoo.com
2009 Entertainment Schedule will be posted here on 8.1.09.
The entertainment for the 2008 Taste of Hudson offers an unbelievably diverse, eclectic and exciting line-up of local and regional talent. From jazz, blues, classic rock, modern rock, alternative, zdydeco and folk to dance, magic and children’s performances The Taste offers non-stop music and entertainment from 5 stages located throughout the festival grounds! Many of our entertainers have earned repeat performances from previous Tastes and earning a spot in the line-up has become more difficult over the years. Therefore, you’ll be amazed at what you see and hear.
As always, admission to Taste of Hudson is FREE (except for the food and beverages, of course) so that means that attendees can listen to over 70 of the area's best musical acts and entertainers for FREE as well. Plan to spend your day leisurely strolling through the festival and taking in all the sights, sounds and tastes.
A special addition this year will be an increased number of entertainers in the Wine & Beer Tasting Garden, located on the back patio of the Hudson Library and Historical Society. In addition to a great line-up of live music, patrons can enjoy tastes of over 100 varieties of wine and a wide selection of crafted beers. Chef Andrew Jackson and the culinary staff of Laurel Lake will offer appetizer accompaniment. (click here for more information). Also, enjoy several wine education discussions with the professionals from The Cleveland Wine School, producers of the Wine & Beer Garden.
Make plans to be at the Wine & Beer Tasting Garden for a special “after festival party on Sunday (Aug. 31) from 8-10PM. Have fun and dance to the music of the popular LaFlavour, one of the best show bands around.
Below is a listing of entertainers performing at this year’s Taste of Hudson. We look forward to your attendance and thank you for supporting your local entertainers and other community assets on display at The Taste.
