Leslie Mendelson — Kim Moberg opens
2023-11-17 19:30 - 22:00 | Old Sloop Presents, Rockport MA, 12 School St, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
If Leslie Mendelson’s only collaboration with a legendary musician was Jackson Browne, it would be a worthy point to celebrate. What’s truly telling is that Leslie has also drawn the attention of The Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir who recorded a duet with her on Roy Orbison’s standard, “Blue Bayou,” while no less than classic rock royalty The Who invited her to open two shows at Madison Square Garden last year. She was set to open three more dates for the band in 2020 that were unfortunately postponed due to the pandemic. With some of rock music’s most legitimate voices seeking Leslie out, it leaves no doubt the rarefied air she inhabits as an artist.
Award winning singer/songwriter Kim Moberg was born in Juneau, Alaska, the daughter of a classical pianist mother of Alaskan Native Tlingit descent and a US Coast Guard veteran father from Kansas. Music was the constant in Kim’s childhood, helping her to adjust to the frequent moves associated with growing up in a military family.
Advance tickets are $17 for adults and $5 for those age 18 and under. Visit oldslooppresents.org, John Tarr Store in Rockport, or The Bookstore of Gloucester. The suggested contribution at the door is $22 for adults, $5 for those age 18 and under, and $44 for families

“Not only a first-rate Dobro player but a songwriter to be reckoned with.”
–John Platt, WFUV
Abbie Gardner is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. Whether performing solo or with Americana harmony trio Red Molly, her acclaimed tales of love and loss, both gritty and sweet, are propelled by her impeccable lap style slide guitar playing. Solo performances feature the dobro as a solo instrument, bouncing between a solid rhythmic backbone and ripping lead lines, all in support of her voice and songs. Her latest recording DobroSinger hit #11 on the Billboard Blues Chart. It’s intimate, real and raw – her dobro and voice recorded at the same time at home, without a band or any studio tricks to hide behind. You can hear every breath, every chuckle, as if you are in the room with her.

Carla Ryder & the Blue Ribbons at Niagara Coffee Haus
2023-11-04 20:00 - 21:30 | Niagara Coffee Haus, Mills MA, 8 Exchange St, Millis, MA, United States
Carla Ryder & the Blue Ribbons at Niagara Coffee Haus
Join us for a fantastic night of live music with Carla Ryder & the Blue Ribbons!
Rock n’ roll flapper, garage serenader, front porch chanteuse and country crooner, Carla Ryder is authentic, heartfelt fun! She cut her teeth in the Boston Music scene, as lead singer of the beloved Mudhens in the late 90’s. With that band she opened for the likes of Neil Young, Beck, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Jonatha Brooke, Primus, 10,000 Maniacs, Cake, Ben Folds 5, Guster , The Push Stars, Janis Ian, Bill Staines, and Jon Pussett Dart. Nominated for a Boston Music Award, the band went on to record 3 albums with LA producer extraordinaire Anthony Resta, selling over 12,000 copies and receiving airplay on national, local and AAA radio.
Fast forward to the Carla Ryder Band, she teamed up with producer, Adam Steinberg and recorded Til The End of Counting which garnered several placements in TV and Film as well as the prestigious International Songwriting Competition, Billboard Song Contest and Great American Song Contest. Legendary singer/songwriter, Bill Staines wrote of it, “Carla is one of the best young songwriters around. I was totally taken with her CD”.
After a short break welcoming the birth of her daughter and twin boys, Carla joined forces with Amy Fairchild and Andy Santospago to form Miriam, a honky-tonk swaggering, country-infused rock n’ roll group featuring dueling female voices backed up by their longtime boot-stompin’ band. After releasing their critically acclaimed album, “Scenic Two Lane” they quickly garnered a loyal following, a coveted residency, and were named Boston’s Best Americana Band in 2016.
Carla recently hit her stride when she recorded and released Unguarded Heart with Boston favorites. The Blue Ribbons in 2018. Claiming two elusive finalist spots in the International Songwriting Competition as well as the Unsigned Only Competition, this album reveals a depth of spirit and a window into the struggle and redemption of the human condition. Boston Globe critic Steve Morse, calls Carla “An aspiring rock singer who seems to get better with each appearance. Almost too versatile to categorize.”

Linden Tree presents Don White with Rob Siegel
2023-11-04 19:30 - 21:30 | Linden Tree Concerts, Wakefield MA, 120 Chestnut St., Wakefield, MA, 01880, United States
Linden Tree Concerts presents Don White in concert,
Rob Siegel, 2022 Potpourri Winner
Nov. 4 at 7:30pm $25
The Linden Tree 39th concert series continues with the often-amusing singer-songwriter Don White on Saturday, November 4 at 7:30 pm. Opening the night is Rob Siegel, audience favorite from last year’s Winter Potpourri.
There is no one-word description for what Don White does. He’s an award-winning singer/songwriter, a comedian, an author, and a storyteller. He’s been bringing audiences to laughter and tears for thirty years, released ten CDs, three live DVDs, and a book, Memoirs of a C Student. His latest album is Live at the Guthrie Center, available now. In 2011, he won the Jerry Christen Memorial Award, given out by Boston Area Coffeehouse Association, for his work with the community and that same year was given a key to the city in his hometown of Lynn, Massachusetts.
Don’s approach to music is a unique blend. If he just played folk music, it would be a handy label. But he has invented his own genre with a mix of humor and powerful songwriting. White’s arc as a writer and performer has taken him from his industrial hometown of Lynn, Massachusetts, through Boston’s comedy clubs and coffeehouses, and onto stages around the country. At every point, White has been the ultimate observer, infusing his work with his experiences as a husband, a father, grandfather, a seeker, and a joker.
White has opened for Arlo Guthrie, Ritchie Havens. Louden Wainwright III, and Taj Mahal, shared a bill with David Bromberg, Janis Ian, and Lyle Lovett. White has been featured in storytelling festivals around the country including the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee and the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in Utah. Since 2015, he has joined master storytellers Bil Lepp and Bill Harley in Father’s Daze, a hilarious three-man storytelling show about the triumphs and tribulations of fatherhood. He toured North America for nine years with folk songwriting legend Christine Lavin, with whom he still plays the occasional show most recently in September.
Rob Siegel is well-known in Boston folk music circles who describes himself as an innovative songwriter who draws from his idyllic yet stressed-out middle-class suburban existence and produces memorable well-crafted songs. Rob has opened for Bill Staines, Vance Gilbert, Catie Curtis, Jack Hardy, Geoff Muldaur, and others. His 2000 debut CD Shaker Chair received airplay on the WUMB radio network, and his 2004 CD Voices from the Right Brain reached #52 on the FolkDJ ranking, which isn’t bad for a geophysicist who rarely traveled outside Massachusetts for a gig. Rob took his foot off the gigging pedal in the mid-2000s when he projected the college bills for his three kids, but now that they’re grown, he’s back. His first new CD in 14 years, A Landscape of Ghosts, was released in 2018 at a sold-out show at Club Passim and charted on FolkDJ.” Songs from his repertoire were our audience favorites naming him as Linden Tree’s Winter Potpourri Winner 2022.
Tickets will be $25, cash or check at the door. Tickets for those under 13 are $10. Reservations for preferential seating are by calling 781-246-2836 .Linden Tree Concerts are held in Wakefield UU Church 326 Main St. Wakefield, MA 01880

She’s the winner of some of the top songwriting awards, including the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, the prestigious Kerrville (TX) “Best New Folk Award” and, in one of the nation’s top music markets, the Boston Music Award for “Outstanding Folk Act”, three of the top prizes in the singer songwriter world.

Joe Newberry and April Verch
2023-10-28 19:30 - 22:00 | Old Sloop Presents, Rockport MA, 12 School St, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
Growing up, Joe Newberry and April Verch absorbed traditions of home and hearth – in his Missouri Ozarks and her Ottawa Valley of Canada. Although they are on the road much of the year, the two musicians say they are rarely homesick because their music means they always have a bit of home with them wherever they go.
Joe Newberry comes from a family of singers and dancers. He took up the guitar and banjo as a boy and learned fiddle tunes from great Missouri fiddlers. Known around the world for his clawhammer banjo playing, Newberry is also a powerful guitarist, singer and songwriter.
Before launching her professional career, Verch was the first woman to win both the Canadian Grand Masters and Canadian Open Fiddling Championships. In 2000, she formed “The April Verch Band,” and together they have toured the world, performing in 18 different countries. She has released 12 solo recordings to date, receiving JUNO, Canadian Folk Music and Independent Music nominations and awards.

Tom Smith’s songs are in turns humorous, touching, thought provoking, and inspiring. Deeply rooted in the old-school folk tradition, his stories are told in a voice that is honest, melodic, and sincere. In the words of Boston radio DJ, Dave Palmater, “Tom writes songs that seem like they’ve always been there… a true folksinger.” Tom grew up in rural Pennsylvania in a family where music was part of the fabric of everyday life. A folk veteran of over forty years, Tom performs at festivals, coffeehouses, schools, and concerts throughout the Northeastern to audiences large and small, young and old. Accompanied on multiple instruments by New England folk veteran Seth Connelly, you are sure to leave their performance feeling better than when you arrived. Cosy Sheridan has been called one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful songwriters. She first appeared on the national folk scene when she won the songwriting contests at The Kerrville Folk Festival and The Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 1992 and released her critically acclaimed CD Quietly Led. Backed by the strong rhythms and harmonies of her bass player Charlie Koch, she plays a percussive bluesy style of guitar – often in open tunings and occasionally with two or more capos She has performed at Carnegie Hall, The Cowgirl Hall of Fame and on the Jerry Lewis Telethon. She teaches classes in songwriting, performance, and guitar at workshops and adult music camps across the country. She is the director of Moab Folk Camp in Moab, Utah.
First Church and Parish Dedham Unitarian Universalist was first gathered in 1638 and is located in Dedham Center at 670 High Street.

Slaid Cleaves
2023-10-19 19:00 - 21:00 | The Spinning Room, Harrisville NH, 71 Main St, Harrisville, NH, United States
“A master storyteller, one influenced not by the shine of pop-culture but by the dirt of real life.” – Joseph Hudak
— Rolling Stone Country
3/3/23 Slaid Cleaves releases his latest album, TOGETHER THROUGH THE DARK.
Twelve new songs amid the 100,000 that get uploaded to Spotify every day (according to hypebot.com). Will any of them rise above the din enough to be heard? So far, a few of them have been hanging out with the likes of young Americana superstars Charlie Crocket and Margo Price on the Americana Music Association album and singles charts, as well as the popular Spotify playlist, The Pulse of Americana.
It’s Cleaves’ second release on Candy House Media, which consists of himself and his wife and manager, Karen Cleaves, with hired gun Angela Backstrom promoting to Americana radio. It’s one of the rare self-releases on the charts, and the early success of the first few singles is a testament to the consistent quality of Cleaves’ output over the past 25 years, and to the bond he’s built and maintained with the dedicated music lovers at Americana radio since its inception in the mid 1990s.
Slaid teamed up with producer Scrappy Jud Newcomb for the third time in early 2022 to record a new batch of songs, Slaid’s first in five years. Familiar themes of struggle and resilience will be a surprise to no one. TOGETHER THROUGH THE DARK digs into the crucial moments and experiences that shape our journeys. A kind word when it’s needed most, the effort to act honorably in dark and violent times, the wisdom of a barfly, the majesty of rock and roll, the dignity of work and the enduring grace provided by true love.
As Scrappy puts it, “This album speaks to the hopeful, the hard working, the battered, confused, and the sad. But above all to the believers in the city of freedom that we heard in the stories of our youth and all those FM radio hits.”

Familiar themes of struggle and resilience will be a surprise to no one. As Scrappy puts it, “This album speaks to the hopeful, the hard working, the battered, confused, and the sad.
