The New York based Progressive Americana group Nefesh Mountain Band has been hailed as one of the formative boundary-pushing ensembles in roots music. The band’s creators and dynamic husband and wife team of Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff have created a world and sound all their own; blurring the lines between Americana, Bluegrass, Folk, Jazz and Blues with a masterful hand as songwriters, instrumentalists and composers alike. The band, declared “A Powerhouse Unit” by Rolling Stone and “Introspective lyrics and world class musicianship” by American Songwriter, takes the listener on a deeply personal journey that embodies their own wild nature and unbridled free spirits, bridging compositional prowess and prolific songwriting with deft instrumentals and jams.

This October, magic and mystery return to Catskill! Bridge Street Theatre presents Devils ’N Details, a new magic show by acclaimed magician Peter Samelson, running October 24–26, 2025. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2:00pm.

Known as “the soft-spoken conceptualist of sorcery” (New York Times), Samelson has captivated audiences worldwide — from the Great Wall of China to Parisian salons — with his blend of illusion, theatre, and philosophy. Recently featured on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, where he was hailed as “one of the greatest living magicians,” Samelson is also co-founder of New York City’s longest-running off-Broadway magic show Monday Night Magic, a frequent headliner at Speakeasy Magick, and a recipient of the Merlin Award for Lifetime Achievement.

In Devils ’N Details, Samelson reveals how the unseen shapes our world, drawing laughter, awe, and just a touch of Halloween eeriness. Expect a night where illusions unravel into truths — and where the devil truly is in the details.

Tickets are $25 for Adults and $15 for Students. Performances at Bridge Street Theatre, 44 West Bridge Street, Catskill, NY. Reserve your seats now at bridgest.org/devils.
