August 3, 7:00
Hudson River Festival featuring RONNIE SPECTOR and The Uptown Horns
As the heart and soul of female rock in the 1960’s, 
Ronnie Spector emerged from the streets 
of Spanish Harlem as a teenager to change the look, 
style and sound of rock ‘n’ roll forever. 
Called the “Bad Girl of rock ‘n’ roll,” 
Ronnie was leader of the 
quintessential girl group the Ronettes. 

From her Christmas classics through her recorded collaborations 
with Bruce Springsteen and Joey Ramone, she remains an
indomitable presence in pop culture. 
The Uptown Horns will join Ronnie on stage for this fantastic show.
