A Postcard from the Hudson Valley, Part 3: The Littletons

The final installment of a 3-part travelogue mini-series exploring the music life in the Hudson Valley, New York. For this very special Christmas Eve episode, Dylan sits down with Dan Littleton and Elizabeth Mitchell of the band Ida, and their daughter, singer-songwriter Storey Littleton have a wide-ranging discussion about the multigenerational experience of living the music life. Starting off in the DC punk scene of the 80s, to the indie rock scene in Brooklyn in the 90s and early aughts, to moving to Woodstock in the before times (pre-cell phone). They discuss how the lore of Woodstock drew Dan and Elizabeth there, how Storey found her own voice growing up in the shadow of musical giants, and the differences between growing up in an artist colony-style small town versus an industry city. Artists referenced in this episode: Ida, the Hated, The Band, Levon Helm, Amy Helm, Bad Brains, Michael Hurley, Happy Traum, Larry Campbell, Ronnie Spector, the McGarrigle Sisters, Tsunami, Simple Machine Records.
