Featuring the Songs + Stories of the Hudson Valley’s most acclaimed musicians

Created, Hosted, and Produced by Annalyse & Ryan in 2020/2021, this multi-camera live streamed concert series filmed at the esteemed Howland Cultural Center in Beacon, NY, showcased some incredible talent, including Grammy winners and world-renowned artists.

Songs + Stories when we needed them most.

6 months into the pandemic, encouraged by the members of Howland Cultural Center (a non-profit curator of the arts in the Hudson Valley) to produce a new live stream concert experience, Annalyse & Ryan had an idea for an intimate, curated monthly series. They saw this as a way to keep audiences happy and hopeful as well as to prop up their music community during such a difficult time. The entertainment industry was one of the hardest hit due to Covid with virtually the entire worldwide community seeing shutdowns and lack of work everywhere. Annalyse & Ryan jumped on this idea, and The Valley Hour was born. With mastermind Matt Dickey as Technical Director and phenom Jon Slackman as Videographer, this multi-camera, state of the art show streamed live from Howland Cultural Center ran from September 2020 through May 2021 and featured multiple Grammy winners as well as world-renowned musicians, all who call the Hudson Valley their home.
