Hudson Valley Photographer Documents Music of the Area in New Book

Welcome Hudson Valley! This is Conor Walsh, host of In Touch, Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley’s Award-Winning Public Affairs and Issues program.   

This week on In Touch, we have one of the premiere Hudson Valley photographers Joe Mack. Joe’s photography was just featured in the new book, “The Music of the Hudson Valley: Volume 1,” written by Mercedes Barreto. Joe talks about his collaborations with Mercedes with the book and her online publication Talent Manual Magazine. Joe also goes into his partnership with Daryl’s House and how he gets around the Hudson Valley taking pictures of local and touring bands. Not just that, but Joe has an incredible documentary in the works highlighting the fascinating music memorabilia collection of Hudson Valley local Ken Frank. 

We invite you to listen to a previously recorded conversation between Joe and myself here on In Touch
