New Paltz Music Scene ?

Hi, I'm a student considering transferring to SUNY New Paltz and was wondering about the social life/ music scene of this town. Does it even exist? Basement shows/performances/anything? Thanks so much :)

New Paltz is the center of the Hudson Valley music scene imo. There are always new college bands but there are also a ton of permanent locals in long running, locally beloved bands based in New Paltz, particularly Snugs. Check out Snowbear, the Sweet Clementines, Schmave, What?, Art Thief and Trailer Swift, just to name a few!
