     Begun in 2010 by indefatigable musical impresario Stephen Clair and his band of brothers and sisters, from Brooklyn to Beacon, Local 845 has been serving up special orders time and time again... helping to fill the hungry bellies of starved music lovers from all across the Hudson Valley. The Music scene is back in the Hudson Valley... and even the DJs are included. Local 845 is the small step, and the giant leap necessary to return the Hudson Valley music scene back to the scenery of Hudson Valley. Check out their greatest hits including The Beacon Music Factory, Rock Band Boot Camp, In the Pines (Concert Series at University Settlement Camp in Beacon) and of course the outdoor music festival tour de force...Beacon Riverfest.
