The Shandaken Pan-Arts Festival: Vaudeville, steampunk, and a virtuoso 7-year-old on guitar

Last weekend, musicians, artists, and performers gathered in venues around Shandaken to perform during the Shandaken Pan Arts Festival. Here are a few highlights from the week-long artistic bacchanalia.

First, above, 7-year-old Noel Fletcher performs at The Arts Upstairs Gallery in Phoenicia on January 14, 2012. The song, "I'm From the Sun," is by Gustafer Yellowgold. Video shot by Karen Charman.
