Hello, We are the Rosendale Street Festival and we are raising much-needed funds for our friend and co-chair Charlie,

Charlie Knicely has been the Chair and Co-Chair of the Rosendale Street Festival for almost 20 years. He is also on the Board of Advisors for The Rosendale Theatre. Charlie is a beloved member of our greater community and leader in the music scene of The Hudson Valley and beyond. He is known as a consummate band leader and side man playing the bass.

Charlie’s door has always been open to those in need.

Charlie now needs our help.

In December of 2022 Charlie experienced an aortic aneurysm. The surgeon named this a major life event and called Charlie a Christmas miracle because he survived. The medical team has told Charlie that in order for him to stay healthy he needs major dental work to clear up infection and rebuild his mouth.
