Schedule

Apr 17, 2010
Southern California’s own Banshee in the Kitchen share their enchanting Celtic-based music, which is a bit traditional, a bit contemporary, 100% "Banshee-fied." Bill Dempsey starts off the evening with his blend of American folk and jazz with a little bit of salt sprinkled in (in the form of an occasional sea song).
May 15, 2010
Ronny Cox, know from such films as Deliverance, The Onion Field, Beverly Hills Cop, and most recently Imagine That, as well as countless television appearances, brings his immense songwriting and musical talents with his easygoing, Southwestern folk style back to our stage. From Connecticut, Chuck E. Costa presents his seamless blend of intimate songwriting and effortless acoustic guitar for the first time on our stage.
June 19, 2010
Terri Hendrix with Lloyd Maines: Terri Hendrix is one of Texas’s most respected singer/songwriters. Her intelligent, spiritual songs will be accompanied by guitarist (and producer) extraordinaire Lloyd Maines.
July 17, 2010
Plan on an evening of traditional Irish music mixed with a bit of bluegrass and folk, and lots of rousing good fun when Sligo Rags makes their debut appearance with Living Tradition.With his well-written and relevant songs sung with a strong tenor voice, John Batdorf launches this high-energy evening with style.
Sep 18, 2010
Jeni and Billy share songwriting, arranging, and performing duties to beautifully present their “New Old Music” -- honest portrayals of the lives of miners, preachers, ramblers, lovers, and plain-living folks in Jeni and Billy's bluegrass/folk style.
Oct 16, 2010
Quoting from the Boston Globe regarding Cliff Eberhardt: "Eberhardt is a superb singer, with a vast credible range of emotions, and a soulfulness that draws from rock and pop, but also from the best folk ballad styles." Cindy Kalmenson opens with her award-winning songs that tell stories worth telling, and hearing.
Nov 20, 2010
From a small town in northern Maine, David Mallett’s career spans four decades. His songs have been recorded by more than 150 artists, and his "Garden Song" has become an American folk classic. Starting off the last concert of our season, Phil Christie sings with a smooth, easy tone his richly mellow contemporary folk songs of “love lost, love won, unfulfilled dreams and dreams that could still come true.”
