Open Gate Network Joins the 2026 Hudson Jazz Festival
Open Gate Network is heading to Hudson, New York, this fall as part of the 2026 Hudson Jazz Festival.
Open Gate Network founder Keanna Faircloth returns to the festival for her third consecutive year as host, continuing a relationship with the Hudson jazz community that has grown over the past several seasons.
This year also marks a new chapter: Open Gate Network will co-present a special artist conversation with The Spark of Hudson featuring vocalist Vuyo Sotashe and pianist and composer Chris Pattishall.
A Conversation on Jazz, Collaboration and Home will explore the artists’ creative partnership, the musical traditions and experiences that inform their work, and the idea of “home” as a source of inspiration and artistic discovery. Faircloth will lead the conversation ahead of Sotashe and Pattishall’s appearance at the Hudson Jazz Festival.
The event reflects Open Gate Network’s mission to create space for artists, ideas and conversations that expand how we experience the music — onstage, behind the scenes and beyond traditional boundaries.
