PLEASE NOTE: In an abundance of caution, we will be moving July 4th's DJ sets from 12 - 5 PM INDOORS into the Main Falls Venue to protect our audience and artists from excessive heat and thunderstorm conditions. HOWEVER, a little rain will not ruin our cookout - we will keep the music bumping all day long - leading up to the evening's performance of Tom Swoope with the Unit Band. General Admission Outdoor Ticket Holders will have reserved seating for the day-time DJ sets taking place in the Main Falls Venue between Noon - 5 PM.
Tom Swoope is bringing the entire Aunties & Unc's universe to City Winery Hudson Valley for the biggest R&B 4th of July weekend in the Northeast. Friday night, the room becomes the country's most beloved interactive R&B experience. Saturday, the property transforms into a full-day cookout celebration. Same venue. Same host. Two completely different vibes.
An all-day, all-night, fully-hosted R&B celebration at the most iconic venue in the Hudson Valley.
Picture this: You arrive at noon. The grill is on. Wine is flowing. The first DJ set is rolling — Frankie Beverly into Mary J. into Maxwell. The R&B Sing-A-Long kicks off and the entire pavilion is hand-in-the-air, every word, every chorus.
The lights drop. Tom Swoope and The Unit Band take the stage. The first chord of the night drops — and the entire room is on its feet.
That's the moment.
That's what we're building.

THE VIBE
This isn't a concert. It's not a bingo night. It's not a cookout.
It's all of those things — wrapped into a Tom Swoope-hosted, City Winery-produced, two-night R&B experience that doesn't exist anywhere else in the country.
Bring the auntie. Bring the unc. Bring the cousin who knows every word. Book the hotel. Make the trip.
This is the weekend you'll be talking about until next 4th of July.

Reserve your preferred wine by filling out this form(opens in a new tab) and have a bottle waiting at your table when you arrive at your show. No more waiting for your first drink! We will save your wine preference and have a bottle at your table for all future shows. When you want to change your wine, come back to this form and update your preference.
🎶 While we do not require a two-item food or beverage minimum, we strongly encourage it. Most ticket revenue goes directly to the artist and production costs, so food and drink purchases help support the staff, service, and atmosphere that make these intimate shows possible.
