Club Helsinki Hudson has issued an open call for Hudson-region residents to participate in a new effort combining music and other creative pursuits to document life in Hudson during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Club Helsinki Hudson has launched a virtual open mic that streams live on Tuesdays at 7pm on the Club Helsinki Virtual Open Mic page at http://clubhelsinki.live, where broadcasts will be archived for viewing after the fact. The virtual open mic blends performers livestreaming their contributions with pre-recorded segments and footage drawn from Helsinki's extensive video archive. 

Helsinki Hudson announced today that doors to both its restaurant and nightclub and concerts will be closed effectively immediately, due to the COVID-19 medical emergency.

On Monday Linda Lavin performed her show titled 'My Second Farewell Concert' in New York City at the legendary Birdland. Last night she said a great musical hello to the Hudson Valley at Helsinki Hudson.

Linda Lavin and musician/director/actor/painter/writer husband Steve Bakunas walked the Red Carpet a few days ago at the Broadway Opening of Hamilton and then drove up the carpet of Green to their home in the Berkshires to perform at Lee Tannen's Helsinki on Broadway and of course BroadwayWorld was at both events. This summer the East Coast is getting treated to Linda Lavin and Billy Stritch as Linda has brought her show titled Starting Over and her swinging band to PTown, the Hudson Valley, and on September 16th to Guild Hall in East Hampton. At Helsinki on Broadway last night Linda was the star of the show, but the food at Helsinki Hudson definitely also gets top billing.
