About Wild in the Trees:

Wild in the Trees, a festival by Mirth Films is our way of paying homage to all efforts made to raise money to build the Lake George Skate Plaza while embracing all the incredible musical talent regionally and beyond. Back in 2008, local skateboarders in Lake George, NY brought to the town’s attention the need to have a skate park. Through various town board meetings and the creation of a skateboarding committee put together by skaters, family members and community leaders, it was time to raise money to make the dream come true.

Throughout the early 2010’s, local skateboarders held various fundraisers over the years including spaghetti dinners, coin drops, benefit concerts and much more. Between all the efforts locally along with a few grants, the skateboarders were able to raise nearly $100,000. By 2014, the park was designed with oversight from the local skaters. In 2015, ground was broken at the newly created Charles R. Wood Park and the dream was realized. The Lake George Skate Plaza attracts skateboarders from all across the northeast and beyond each year giving kids a safe place to skateboard without getting in trouble.

Gogol Bordello is an international punk band that has existed since 1999. Led by Ukrainian frontman Eugene Hütz, the band fills rooms with an energy that could run a whole city, and their latest album “Solidaritine” is no exception. The band has lit up stages around the world alongside System of a Down, Primus, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, dueted with Regina Spektor, appeared in films such as Liev Schreiber’s “Everything Is Illuminated” with Elijah Wood and “Filth and Wisdom,” helmed by Madonna, and cut albums with legends Rick Rubin and Steve Albini. Russia’s war in Ukraine is personal for Eugene and the band, who have been tirelessly advocating for Ukrainian solidarity, partnering with Nova Ukraine, ArtDopomoga, and beyond. In 2023, the documentary “Scream of My Blood: A Gogol Bordello Story” held its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, taking home a Special Jury Mention for Best New Documentary Director Award.

The Big Takeover is fronted by the charismatic Jamaican-born singer and songwriter Nee Nee Rushie. The seven-piece New York band plays original music that is rooted in and reverent toward the genres and rhythms of Jamaican pop: reggae, rocksteady, and ska. They are devotees of Desmond Dekker and the way the old school did it. At the same time, The Big Takeover crosses lines and blends traditions like global pop fusionists. Their deceptively complex arrangements and big hooks connect with the spirit of Motown and the uptown sophistication of the 21st century retro soul and R&B revival scene.

Musicians Percy Jones, Alex Skolnick, Kenny Grohowski, and Tim Motzer bring their combined prog music experience the The Strand Theatre in Hudson Falls, New York on Sunday, July 20th.
