SUMMARY:Friday Folk Coffeehouse presents Jonathan Pape and the Wilson Mountain Skyline Ramblers
DESCRIPTION:Friday Coffee House at First Church Dedham \n670 High Street\, Dedham\, MA \n(781) 326-7463 \nContact: Geoff Tegnell \nFirst Church Friday Coffee House presents its first concert of the 2022-2023 season featuring singer/songwriter Jonathan Pape and the Wilson Mountain Skyline Ramblers at First Church and Parish Dedham 670 High Street\, Dedham on Friday September 23rd 2022 at 8:00 pm in the Auditorium. There will be refreshments for purchase in the dining room. Tickets are $5 available at the door.  Doors open at 7:30 pm. \nJonathan Pape does not consider himself a musical lifer. Nor does he consider himself a hobbyist. He has learned from Neil Young\, REM\, Concrete Blonde and the late Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees) to let music be there when he needs it. He has taken his songs out of town and kept them close to home. His Dad once wrote to him that his songs are personal. Very personal. He said they feel like they have a lot to do with the warm\, moist\, under-the-covers moments of true relationships. Old ones. New ones. And the kind you only dream about with someone\, just out of reach. Pape’s last solo record “Every Five Years” can be found on your favorite streaming service and he continues to work on his next one in the moments between being a father and a husband. \nThe Wilson Mountain Skyline Ramblers include Cindy Thames (mandolin)\, Gene Favret (dobro)\, Jed Mehegan (banjo\, guitar)\, Tim Parke (guitar). They are all Boston area Bluegrass lovers who met picking and singing at the monthly Dedham School of Music Bluegrass jams. \nFirst Church and Parish Dedham Unitarian Universalst was first gathered in 1638 and is located in Dedham Center at 670 High Street. Its lively music program includes its choir at Sunday services\, the Parish Players theater troupe and the Concerts at First Church concert series in addition to our Friday Coffee House events.

SUMMARY:Hubby Jenkins at Linden Tree's Season Opener-- Ed Britt Memorial Banjo Bash
DESCRIPTION:LINDEN TREE COFFEEHOUSE.  38TH SEASON OPENER  SEPTEMBER 24\, 2022 \nTHE ED BRITT MEMORIAL BANJO BASH  featuring multi-instrumentalist HUBBY JENKINS \nOn September 24th\, the Linden Tree Coffeehouse  at the Unitarian-Universalist Church of Wakefield will open its 38th season with a very special memorial concert to Ed Britt\, Linden Tree’s founder\, banjo historian\, and long-time Linden Tree sound engineer. The highlight of the evening will be Hubby Jenkins\, a talented multi-instrumentalist formally of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and a member of Rhiannon Giddens Band.  A number of area musicians will also perform in tribute to Britt.  The show will begin at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7.  Masks are highly recommended for the safety of our performers\, our volunteers\, and our audience. A recording of the event may be available later on\, but not that night so plan to attend in person. \nHubby Jenkins endeavors to share his love and knowledge of old-time American music. Born and raised in Brooklyn he delved into his Southern roots\, following the thread of African American history that wove itself through country blues\, ragtime\, fiddle and banjo\, and traditional jazz. Hubby got his higher musical education started as a busker. He developed his guitar and vocal craft on the sidewalks and subway platforms of New York City\, performing material by those venerable artists whose work he was quickly absorbing. An ambitiously itinerant musician\, he took his show on the road\, playing the streets\, coffee shops\, bars\, and house parties of cities around the U.S. \nAfter years of busking around the country and making a name for himself\, Hubby became acquainted with the Carolina Chocolate Drops. He was an integral part of the Grammy award winning Carolina Chocolate Drops (2010 – 2016)\, as well as a member of Rhiannon Giddens band. Today he spreads his knowledge and love of old-time American music and history through his dynamic solo performances. \nThe Banjo Bash will include some area musicians with words and songs they know Ed always enjoyed. Expected to celebrate are Jim Bradley\, Paul Harty\, and Bill Knott\, who were three-fourths of the Linden Tree house band\, The Blunt Instruments.  Other local folks planning to attend are Ken Perlman\, Gail Finnie\, John Reddick\, Linda Abrams\, Rich Stillman\, and Tim Rowell. Kev G. Moore\, composer of the Linden Tree anthem\, Church with No Steeple\, who dedicated his original song to Ed Britt will also be performing. \nEd Britt died February 18\, 2021 from complications due to Alzheimer’s disease. He was a skilled industrial designer and designed products ranging from consumer goods to medical equipment. He was employed by Digital Equipment Corporation as well as a design consulting firm and eventually opened his own industrial design consulting firm\, Edmund Britt & Co. In addition to his love for his family\, Ed’s passion in life was music. He was a world-renowned banjo historian and collector\, as well as a gifted player of both banjo and guitar. He loved being part of the banjo community\, attending events and sharing his knowledge. He displayed his banjo playing skills at the annual Banjo and Fiddle Contest in Lowell\, MA\, winning multiple times. Ed was heavily involved in the Boston folk music scene. He was one of the founders of the Linden Tree Coffeehouse in Wakefield in 1985 and ran their sound system for decades. He was a member of the Blunt Instruments\, a folk quartet that played at a variety of community events and were regulars at the Linden Tree. Ed combined his professional skills and love for music by designing beautiful instruments for the OME Banjo Company and C. F. Martin & Company. After retiring\, Ed enjoyed spending time with his musician friends\, street performing in Harvard Square and playing at the Wakefield and Melrose farmers markets. \nSeveral years ago\, following a health scare\, Ed shared the following quote with friends\, which summarizes how he lived his life: “I’ve simply tried to go through my life leaving the world a better place than I found it-and hopefully having helped more people than I hurt.” Ed was never shy to show his love to those around him. The best way to honor Ed’s memory is to reach out and tell the people in your life how much they mean to you. Ed’s kindness\, creativity\, interest in others\, and enthusiasm for life touched many people. He will be greatly missed by his wife Lillian\, daughters Rachel and Ali\,  and  many other family and friends \nThe Linden Tree Coffeehouse is located in the social hall of the Unitarian-Universalist Church of Wakefield\, at 326 Main St. Wakefield\, MA 01880.  The Linden Tree Coffeehouse operates\, in part\, with thanks to partial support from Wakefield’s Art Council of the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Tickets will be sold at the door $20\, for those under 13 $10. We accept Cash or checks. Other donations may be given through the Linden Tree Coffeehouse  Pay Pal account.   For more information: 781-246-2836\,   www.LindenTreeCoffeehouse.org \n  \n

SUMMARY:** CANCELED ** Cheryl Wheeler and Kenny White
DESCRIPTION:Cheryl Wheeler \nWe are very excited to be able to reschedule a concert with Cheryl Wheeler and Kenny White. Let’s all come out and support her return to Peterborough after a few difficult years we’ve all gone through. \n“Cheryl Wheeler has to be seen to be appreciated. Nothing you read and nothing you hear from her albums prepares you for how good a performer she is. \n“If your idea of a folk singer/songwriter concert is a bunch of people clapping politely after songs\, and then sitting quietly while the performer says things like “This next song is about …”\, well\, you’ve never seen a Cheryl Wheeler concert before.  ” \n“Cheryl’s songs are often emotional portraits of people\, leaving you with the impression that you know the characters. You find yourself being dragged into the song rather than standing outside and observing. Other songs by Cheryl are hilarious situation comedies. \n“You may not be familiar with Cheryl\, but you have probably heard her music. She is very respected as a songwriter by her peers\, which can be seen by how many of them record her songs. Chery’s songs have been covered by artists as diverse as Dan Seals\, Peter Paul and Mary\, Kenny Loggins\, Garth Brooks\, Suzy Boggus\, Melanie\, Bette Midler\, Maura O’Connell\, Sylvia\, Kathy Mattea\, and Holly Near. If they think she is great\, then you owe it to yourself to learn more if you aren’t familiar with her. \n“From her albums you can tell that she is a gifted songwriter with a beautiful voice. From other people’s comments about her you can learn that she is a natural story teller with a fantastic sense of humor. But until you see her in person\, you never really believe what you’ve been told about her. Besides\, almost half of the songs she does during her shows haven’t been recorded!” \nCheryl’s concerts are more like what you would find at a comedy club than expect to find at a folk music concert. “She will tell a story that has you rolling in the aisles\, and then sing a song that leaves you wiping tears from your eyes. She will talk about some serious current event\, and then sing a song that will have you howling with laughter. Her entire concert is an emotional roller coaster.” \nhttp://www.cherylwheeler.com/home/bio.html \n  \nKenny White \n“I’d have to say that Kenny White has earned a place among my favorite singer/songwriters … and particularly\, lyricists.  As we say in the trade ‘he goes deep.’   A true wordsmith AND musician who reveals a fine sense of humor\, as well. Put on your headphones and listen carefully.” \n…David Crosby \n“Kenny White is a quadruple threat – a singer\, songwriter\, pianist and producer with a knack for summing-up the human condition in half a song verse or less. (Take the lyrics “So you might as well put it on the line once in awhile\, Maybe leave something more than ashes in a pile\,” from his song “Five Girls.” Need we say more?”

SUMMARY:Pierre Bensusan
DESCRIPTION:Back in 1974\, Pierre Bensusan (www.pierrebensusan.com) was cutting his teeth as a performer on the folk scene in Paris and other cities in France when one of his idols\, banjo great Bill Keith\, offered him his first official paying gig ever touring Western Europe with his bluegrass band. The French-Algerian upstart\, humbly launching a four decade career was hired to play mandolin. But when Keith heard his groundbreaking approach to the acoustic guitar\, he decided to allow Bensusan a few key spotlights on that instrument. \nDecades later\, when Bensusan was looking for potential finishing touches for “Encore”\, his ambitious and expansive retrospective collection celebrating 40 years as a globetrotting live performer\, he discovered a reel to reel tape with a Swiss National Radio recording of a concert in Lausanne from that tour. While the tireless troubadour’s original plan for the 3-CD set was to include tracks recorded between 1998 and 2013 in France\, Canada\, Ireland\, Austria and especially the U.S. (where he regularly records)\, Bensusan decided to round out the 35-track set by starting “Disc 2” with a set of five titles from this show\, including two bluegrass songs. \nIn all\, Encore features 11 tracks never previously released commercially in any form. \nEngineered in Los Angeles by Grammy winner Rich Breen\, Encore also includes a handful of songs featuring Bensusan’s beautiful French language vocals (“Cordilliere” and “Pas Sage\,” among others) and wordless vocalese (“Bamboul’hiver”); two cuts with future Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess from a commissioned 1998 concert in Northern France that included a 200-piece children’s choir (including the previously unreleased “Anthem For The Ocean”); and the 18-minute setpiece “Celtic Medley.” In all\, Encore features 11 tracks never previously released commercially in any form. \nhttp://www.pierrebensusan.com  \nhttp://www.facebook.com/pierrebensusan \nhttps://twitter.com/pbensusan \nhttp://www.youtube.com/user/bensusanhq

SUMMARY:Linden Tree presents Grace Morrison & Connor Garvey Live in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Linden Tree presents Grace Morrison & Connor Garvey Live in Concert \nThe Linden Tree Coffeehouse’s 38th season continues with two regional singer-songwriters who have been receiving national notice:  Massachusetts’ Grace Morrison and Maine’s Connor Garvey.  The Saturday\, November 5th concert will begin at 7:30 pm in the social hall of the Unitarian-Universalist Church in Wakefield. \nAlthough Grace Morrison spent much of her musical career away from the spotlight\, in recent years she has been discovered as a very talented singer-songwriter including a special gig at Nashville’s famous Bluebird .  With new album\, Daughter\, Morrison establishes herself as a confident\, refreshing voice in country-pop. The 12-song collection is certain to find favor with fans of the storytelling and delivery of Jewel and Lisa Loeb\, as well as with those who enjoy singing along with Boyz II Men on their car stereo. Morrison displays an ability to embody a number of characters over the course of Daughter\, from that of the title track\, to loner\, to confidant\, to partier\, to the restless rambler seeking an escape from small-town life\, and finally\, to mother. \nA formidable instrumentalist\, Morrison capably handles far more than lead vocal duties\, rocking out on electric guitar on the pulsing “Put the Bottle Down\,” and playing acoustic throughout the album\, as well as contributing background vocals\, piano\, banjo\, and synth. Our audience will hear some songs from her upcoming 2023 CD\, “Mostly Modern\,” produced in Austin. \nMorrison has won a number of prestigious awards including the Grand Prize of the New England Songwriting Competition and the WPRI Rhode Show Big Break contest where her music video was played on the season finale of American Idol. In 2019\, Grace was selected to be an Official Showcase performer at the Southeast Regional Folk Alliance (TN)\, the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance (TX)\, named a finalist in the Wildflower (TX) Festival performing singer-songwriter contest\, and selected to perform in the Emerging Artist Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (NY). Her sophomore solo album\, Reasons\, debuted at #2 on the Roots Music Report’s Top 50 Contemporary Country Airplay Chart. \nConnor Garvey is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Portland\, Maine\, with the amiable presence of an entertainer\, the lyrical depth of a poet\, and the enchantment of a storyteller. Garvey leaves audiences uplifted and inspired through a positive message delivered in a way The Portland Press Herald says proves you can be optimistic and self-aware without being boring. His unique sandy tenor and masterful blend of rhythm and melody draw comparison to Paul Simon and contemporaries Josh Ritter and Jason Mraz. He wins song competitions. He fills rooms. But most of all he moves people. \nFirst time listeners often are drawn to Garvey’s engaging performance style\, accomplished musicianship\, and memorable melodies. But his lyrics project a depth and sincerity that allow the observant listener to find meaning beyond the catchy hook. Meanwhile\, the intricate production of his albums adds emotional depth and keeps the songs fresh play after play. \nThis combination of songwriting and performance strength has earned Garvey numerous awards including being named winner of the Kerrville New Folk\, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest\, SolarFest\, Wildflower Art and Music Festival and Maine Songwriters Association songwriting competitions\, voted as Most Wanted artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival\, nominated for Best Male Performer in the New England Music Awards\, and a top new singer songwriter by Sirius XM’s The Coffeehouse. \nTickets for those attending are $20\,  cash or check at the door.  Please reserve your seats by calling 781-246-2836. Masks recommended but not required.  Bottled beverages and wrapped snacks are currently available. \nOur previous streaming shows\, including last month’s Squeezebox Stompers\, are still available for viewing on our YouTube and Facebook pages linked from our home page: www.LindenTreeCoffeehouse.org \nThe Linden Tree Coffeehouse operates\, in part\, with thanks to partial support from Wakefield’s Arts Council of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

SUMMARY:Sway Wild
DESCRIPTION:Sway Wild is the artistic collaboration between internationally acclaimed indie folk-rockers Mandy Fir and Dave McGraw.  Mandy Fer also tours as the lead guitarist for Grammy nominated Allison Russell and recently performed with Brandi Carlile and Jason Isbell. \nSan Juan Island\, WA-based indie folk-rock duo Mandy Fer and Dave McGraw are back at it with a new sound\, and a new name: Sway Wild! Their exceptional vocal harmonies\, coupled with Fer’s pioneering electric guitar work\, have become a vehicle to carry them around the world\, sharing stages with the likes of Iron & Wine\, Lake Street Dive\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, and Watchhouse.

With engaging stage presence and masterfully-crafted music\, Boston-based Matt and Shannon Heaton offer well-travelled Irish music from the heart. Steeped in sessions in County Clare and brewed in the acoustic music scenes of Chicago and Boston\, their flute/guitar/bouzouki instrumentals and sweet husband-and-wife harmony singing draw deeply from the Irish tradition. The Heatons also gently incorporate the Thai music Shannon learned as a kid and rootsy Americana sounds that surrounded them during their three years in bluegrass-haven Boulder\, Colorado. Since their move to Boston in 2001\, the Heatons have become an integral part of Boston’s vibrant trad music scene. Shannon co-founded Boston’s Celtic music fest and served on its board for 15 years\, creating performance and mentoring opportunities for hundreds of traditional musicians and dancers. She was named Massachusetts Traditional Artist Fellow in 2016\, and she hosts the culture podcast Irish Music Stories. Matt has performed with countless ensembles\, including the Karan Casey Band\, Boys of the Lough\, and Robbie O’Connell. In addition to his work as an Irish accompanist on guitar and bouzouki\, Matt is an active performer for children and families. He has received multiple MCC grants for his engaging sing-alongs and rockabilly tinged albums. He also fronts surf-rock band Electric Heaters. Matt and Shannon have a comfortable stage presence and a warm connection with their audiences. They are world class American performers with Irish roots and universal appeal. “Their playing is masterful and inventive\, their arrangements city-smart and spacious. Still\, they never forget that Irish music is\, at its heart\, a neighborly form\, meant for sharing\, not showing off.” —The Boston Globe

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\, a seeker\, and a joker.

SUMMARY:Garnet Rodgers
DESCRIPTION:“Garnet Rogers is capable of awe-inspiring and unpredictable stuff – and that includes more than just music” \nIn a darkened bedroom\, lit only by the amber glow from an old floor model radio\, two young brothers aged 6 and 12 lay in their beds\, listening to the country music broadcasts from the Grand Ol’ Opry\, and practiced their harmonies. Two years later\, the youngest one was playing the definitive 8-year-old’s version of “Desolation Row” on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute\, violin and guitar. \nWithin ten years\, and barely out of high school\, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music. \nSince then\, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”\, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match. With his “smooth\, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range\, and thoughtful\, dramatic phrasing\, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music\, like the man himself\, is literate\, passionate\, highly sensitive\, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail\, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart\, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs\, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again. \nResolutely independent\, Garnet Rogers has turned down offers from major labels to do his music his own way. \nMuch more at https://garnetrogers.com/?page_id=29026
