New York Trip Yields Unexpected Photo Op
The Gasoline Gypsies recent one off trip to play Togetherness Festival in Upstate New York provided an unplanned chance to produce much needed press photos. The location is likely recognizable to fans of Amazon’s Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
The band traveled from the Spencer NY festival to Deposit, New York the morning after they shared the stage with former touring mates, The Native Howl. They stayed in Deposit at a home on the former grounds of the now closed Scott’s Family Resort, on Oquaga
Lake. Jon and Jai Meyerhoff hosted the band and crew, as part of Jon’s new app called MOME, designed to facilitate traveling bands by connecting them with host families. The resort had been in Kai’s family since 1869, until it closed in 2015, when it became the scenic backdrop for several episodes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Beginning season 2, episode 4, fans might recognize many of the latest Gasoline Gypsies press photos backdrops as the “Steiner Resort,” as it is fictitiously called in the Amazon Prime series.
Ashlind May, the band’s media and photography consultant was on the trip, and pounced on the opportunity to create the new set of press photos.
“The place just has a vibe that looked like the band to me,” reported May. “I walked the grounds the minute we arrived. The place is amazing. We’d been scouting places the whole trip, getting shots, but this place was special.”
