SUMMARY:Steve Turner House Concert
DESCRIPTION:Cambridge\, MA\n$20 at the door ($5 for students)\nReservations required: HouseConcerts@fssgb.org \nSteve Turner is known as a pioneer of highly sophisticated English concertina song accompaniments\, stretching the boundaries of traditional forms\, with one of the best voices in the business. He is a multi-instrumentalist\, who also accompanies himself on the cittern\, and also plays mandolin and tenor banjo. \nSteve began his career on the Manchester\, UK folk scene at the end of the ‘60s\, with the Geordie band “Canny Fettle”\, touring with them for eight years and making two albums with them. \nIn 1979 he won the UK Melody Maker’s national “Stars of the 80s” competition\, which persuaded him to turn professional\, and for the next 12 years he toured solo\, nationally and internationally\, releasing four albums with Fellside Records during this period (Out Stack\, Jigging One Now\, Eclogue and Braiding). \nAfter 13 years away from the folk scene he made a welcome return in 2004 performing in folk clubs and festivals\, and in 2008 producing his 5th album\, the highly acclaimed “Whirligig of Time” which featured UK luminaries Martin Carthy\, Nancy Kerr and Miranda Sykes. \nSince then he has released further albums\, “Rim of the Wheel” \, “Spirit of the Game” and “Late Cut”\, and his latest much anticipated 9th album “Curious Times” featuring Martin Carthy was be released in Spring 2023.

SUMMARY:Janie Meneely and Rob van Sante House Concert
DESCRIPTION:Reservations required: send email to HouseConcerts@fssgb.org.  $20 cash at the door (students $5\, 17 and under free) \nMeneely & van Sante present an evening of music as lively as it is eclectic\, with songs culled from maritime traditions old and new mixed with contemporary ballads about the ways of today’s world. \nJanie Meneely and Rob van Sante began coalescing as a duo in 2015\, with Rob offering support on Janie’s solo gigs whenever he was in the Washington\, D.C. area\, where she was living at the time. As a prolific songwriter of all things Chesapeake\, Janie was a well-known figure around the mid-Atlantic waterfront\, but it was Rob’s brilliant guitar work and harmony singing that really pushed her work into the greater realm of the traditional folk world where Rob had already made his mark. \nWhile Janie had stayed “local” throughout her musical career\, Rob had traveled the world\, first as a touring artist in his own right\, and then as back-up musician/sideman for\, primarily\, Alan Reid (co-founder and chief songwriter of the Battlefield Band from Scotland) and John Conolly (beloved raconteur of songs and stories pertaining to Grimsby\, among them the now-classic Fiddler’s Green). He played for festivals\, concert halls\, private living rooms and pubs in Britain\, Ireland\, China\, Australia\, New Zealand\, Canada\, the United States\, Germany\, Russia\, Japan . . . . this list goes on. Known for his trademark guitar style—primarily using alternate tunings—Rob remains a sought-after accompanist and session musician. \nProbably the most exciting element of the duo is the collaborative aspect of their latest compositions. Janie’s lyrics buoyed by Rob’s arrangements reflect a sensitive and compelling grasp of contemporary concerns\, whether it be anti-immigration policies (Lady Liberty) or the simple reminder that we set an example for future generations (For the Love of It All). But just as often\, their songs—and their on-stage banter\, for that matter—are laced with humor (sometimes bawdy!) and spill out with galvanizing energy (Whitby Ale). \nWhether they sing of long-ago tragedy\, retell a campfire ghost story or offer up a song of social justice\, their music invites audience participation\, and that\, to their mind\, remains the most gratifying aspect of any given performance.
