40 Years Of Great Live Music & Dining!

Since November 1972, the Towne Crier Cafe has presented the finest in live folk, jazz, blues, Celtic, bluegrass, cajun, zydeco, roots and world music. Connoisseurs of fine dining and live music from throughout Upstate New York's Hudson Valley have found it worth the little adventure to visit our intimate club in the Pawling - Quaker Hill area in Dutchess County for evenings with talent such as Rosanne Cash, Alison Krauss, Arlo Guthrie, Lucinda Williams, Don McLean, Richie Havens, Livingston Taylor, Shawn Colvin, Pete Seeger, Suzanne Vega, Leon Redbone and many, many more who have performed on our stage.

More Than Just Great Music
Our highly acclaimed dining experience features a variety of delicacies, prepared fresh by our executive chef, Erich Panhofer, and our renowned pastry chef Mary Ciganer. See our menus.

The Towne Crier first opened its doors in late November of 1972. We've enjoyed many, many wonderful years of great music, food and friends. Our membership program originally began in response to suggestions by our regular patrons. We are so grateful to all of you, especially our members, for your generous support. With your help, we've been better able to present extraordinary talent on a regular basis in our intimate setting.
This coming year promises to be better than ever at the Towne Crier Cafe. We invite you to help us celebrate, share in the excitement, and hope your support will continue now as it has in the past. Now is the best time to become a Towne Crier member. Membership also makes a great gift; give the gift of live music and joy!
