November Folk and Traditional Music Series
Brandon, VT -
Brandon Music is trying something new aimed at lovers of traditional music. We are hosting
a series of concerts by Vermont bands on the three Sunday afternoons in November preceding Thanksgiving. These will be from 2 to 4 PM and will be free to the public, though a freewill donation for the performers will be appreciated.
The first band, appearing on November 6, will be Bread and Bones, featuring Richard Ruane of Ripton on vocals, guitar, mandolin, banjo and ukulele; Beth Duquette of Lincoln on vocals and Mitch Barron of Hinesburg on vocals and fretless, fretted and upright basses. Bread and Bones performs original songs with a strong influence of Celtic, British and American traditional music. They've been described as “full of finesse and creativity”, “crisp and confident”, with “gorgeous harmonies, captivating lyrics” and “excellent melodies”. Their CD,“I Know Stories”, was named Vermont's Best Traditional Album of 2008!
The second concert on November 13 features Possum Haw, a dynamic, original, authentic bluegrass and folk quintet from Burlington, Vermont. Originally formed in 2004, the band has evolved to combine award-winning, evocative songwriting and singing with top-notch bluegrass instrumentation. Colby Crehan, lead vocalist, was named Vermont Vocalist of the Year in 2010. On the stage, Possum Haw offers a genuine, energetic, and highly entertaining performance without gimmickry. They have produced three full-length albums and have appeared at various venues throughout Vermont and Massachusetts.
Then on November 20, we welcome The Salt River Revue, comprised of members of The Saltash Serenaders and The Cold River Band. Separately and together, they have been playing for concerts and contra dances around Vermont for the past 30 years. Appearing will be Steve Spensley on fiddle, guitar, and vocals, Vickie Arthur on guitar, bass and vocals, Paul Sgalia on mandolin, guitar,bass, and vocals and Marcos Levy on guitar and vocals. The band have graciously offered to donate all freewill offerings received to the Brand-Aid flood relief fund .
