They have a knack for blurring the lines between music for kids and music for adults,
so that it becomes EVERYONE’S music. A Ratboy Jr live show is not to be missed and the audience is always part of the show. They perform their catchy (and often improvised) tunes with a side of onstage banter to break up the music.

8:30PM - WILLA VINCITORE & COMPANY (SOUL, BLUES, ROCK & FUNK)
Singer/songwriter Willa Vincitore has been building a fan base across the Hudson Valley for nearly two decades and
was inducted into the NY State Blues Hall of Fame in 2018. While her songwriting is an eclectic mix of blues,
soul, rock, funk and (occasionally) pop, there’s one thing that ties it all together—that voice. Reflections in Blue blogger Bill Wilson said,
"Willa Vincitore has one of those voices that will stay with you for life. Good, even great, vocalists are a dime a dozen...but every now and then, someone comes along who brings everything back into perspective in a big way.”
