Paramount Hudson Valley Theater

Blues fans, get ready for a scorching summer night at Paramount Hudson Valley as Texas Flood – A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan takes the stage on July 10. Led by powerhouse guitarist Tommy Katona, this electrifying band has become one of the premier blues acts in North Texas, delivering a show that captures the raw intensity and soul of the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan. From the first searing guitar lick to the final encore, audiences will be transported straight to the heart of Texas blues. Texas Flood honors Vaughan’s legendary catalog with fiery renditions of classics like “Pride and Joy,” “Texas Flood,” “Cold Shot,” “Love Struck Baby,” and “The Sky Is Crying.” Katona’s blistering solos, gritty vocals, and unmistakable tone channel the spirit of SRV while bringing a fresh, modern edge to the music. Backed by a tight, driving rhythm section, the band recreates the sound and swagger that made Stevie Ray Vaughan one of the most influential blues guitarists of all time. But Texas Flood is more than a tribute—it’s a celebration of the blues past, present, and future. With an in-your-face stage presence and relentless high-energy performance style, Tommy Katona takes listeners on a journey through deep blues grooves, electrifying rock-infused riffs, and heartfelt slow burns. Whether you’re a lifelong SRV fan or simply love great live guitar, this is a night of music that will leave you buzzing long after the final chord rings out.
*As a reminder, no outside food or drink permitted in the venue. Any patron found with outside alcohol, is subject to removal. Backpacks and large bags are not permitted inside of the venue. All guests are subject to bag checks and security wanding upon entry.

This residency project develops an ongoing choreographic work that began with Orihara's 2014 solo Prologue (performed at La MaMa), originally centered on her relationship with her mother and now expanding to explore the broader influence of “mothers”—women she has encountered who have profoundly shaped her life and artistic voice. Tentatively titled Resonance, the project will evolve through a series of workshops, an open rehearsal, and a final performance. A key inspiration for Orihara is her late teacher Nanako Yamada, who transmitted Dalcroze’s “20 gestures,” an early modern dance practice that influenced both Japanese and American pioneers. During the residency, Orihara will share a selection of these gestures with participants, guiding them to develop their own movement vocabularies and collaboratively build new material. An open rehearsal will provide space to experiment and deepen the work, while the culminating performance will present this evolving choreography, incorporating projection and video in collaboration with a videographer, as she continues to investigate the intersection of memory, lineage, and embodied resonance.11 Jul. 2026 | 1-4pm | Workshop &amp; Open Rehearsal
