Laurie MacAllister - March 14, 2026 (A second Saturday event)
2026-03-14 19:30 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Rose Garden Coffeehouse, Mansfield MA, 17 West St, Mansfield, MA, 02048, United States
In late 2024, Laurie MacAllister embarked on an exciting new chapter, launching a solo career with a sold-out performance at the legendary Club Passim.
Two decades earlier, she co-founded the beloved Americana trio Red Molly, which released seven acclaimed albums and toured both the U.S. and internationally, including appearances at MerleFest, Cayamo, and Boston Symphony Hall.
Along the way, ad executives heard Laurie’s voice on the Red Molly album “Never Been to Vegas” and invited her to sing the iconic Folgers Coffee jingle for a national TV commercial.
Her 2018 self-produced solo album “The Lies the Poets Tell” is a heartfelt tribute to the contemporary folk music scene, celebrating a handful of its best songs and songwriters. It features duets with six male artists, including the late Americana master Jimmy LaFave. SiriusXM praised the album as “Defining. A curated collection packed with emotional vibrancy.”
Laurie’s earlier solo album “The Things I Choose To Do” was produced by folk luminary Cliff Eberhardt and was first released independently. Hearing it, Barnes & Noble re-released it as an exclusive on their label, saying, “MacAllister wholly inhabits these songs as subtly as a chameleon, convincingly taking on the persona’s skin, quite simply singing her heart out.”
From a young girl with a quiet dream of becoming a singer, Laurie’s journey has unfolded one song at a time. Over more than two decades, she’s made her dream into a reality.
Laurie has announced her Solo Debut Tour, headlining shows in 2025 across the Northeast, bringing her soulful, loving voice and presence to fans old and new.

Friday Folk Coffeehouse Presents Crowes Pasture on 3/20!
2026-03-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Friday Folk Coffeehouse, Dedham MA, 670 High St, Dedham, MA, 02026, United States
First Church Friday Folk Coffeehouse presents its 7th concert of the 2025-2026 season featuring the Crowes Pasture at First Church and Parish Dedham 670 High Street, Dedham on Friday, March 20, 2026 at 7:30 pm in the Auditorium. There will be refreshments for purchase. Tickets are $15 and are available online at Folk Coffeehouse | dedhamuu and at the door. Doors open at 7:00 pm. In case of inclement weather, this concert might be canceled the day before the performance. For information about a potential cancellation, please check Live Music | dedhamuu .
We love the origin story of Crowes Pasture, which is Andy Rogovin and Monique Byrne. The couple was putting one of their children to bed. They sang a song and broke into quiet harmony to fill out the lullaby. As they carefully closed the door on the sleeping child, they looked at each other and said, “That was fun.”
They have been serious about that fun ever since. Lots of original music, three albums and two EPs later, they have won an international acoustic music award, received numerous folk music award nominations and can be found touring on both coasts, Canada and in the UK. One of the things we love about this duo is the way they take a look at what’s happening around them, and to them, when they write songs. But they love a good cover, too: Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Woody Guthrie. You’ll find their music rooted in the folk tradition that speaks to hearts that are joyful, broken, and longing for peace and justice. They know there’s poetry in whatever is right here, right now. And the harmonies just keep coming.
First Church and Parish Dedham Unitarian Universalist was first gathered in 1638 and is located in Dedham Center at 670 High Street. Its lively music program includes choir at Sunday services, and the Parish Players theater troupe, in addition to our Friday Folk Coffeehouse events.

His songs have been recorded by many other artists.

Reservations required: HouseConcerts@fssgb.org
Andy Cohen is a virtuoso finger-style guitarist who has been described as “a walking, talking folk-blues-roots music encyclopedia.” He grew up in a home with a piano and lots of Dixieland Jazz records. During the Sixties Folk Revival, he got hooked on the music of Big Bill Broonzy and the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. When Andy was 16, he heard South Carolina’s Rev. Gary Davis perform and the effect on him was profound. He has devoted his life to studying, performing, and promoting traditional blues and folk music of the pre-World War II era. Andy has toured solo, as well as with Martin, Bogan and Armstrong, John Jackson, Rev. Gary Davis, Brother Daniel Womack, Rev. Dan Smith, Jim Brewer, and Honeyboy Edwards. He also worked extensively with Walt and Ethel Phelps, Big Joe Duskin, Pigmeat Jarrett, Etta Baker, Big Boy Henry, and James “Son” Thomas.
In the workshop, we will be going over a number of straightforward songs in the key of C: Freight Train, Louis Collins, Come Let Us March, Gary Davis’s Candy Man, and if we get that far, I will teach Davis’s Buck Dance, which is a little more complex than the others. You’ll learn how to keep your thumb going, count while playing, And learn how to play a scale in major and minor sixths.

Peterborough Folk Music is excited to be on Della Mae’s CD Release Tour and brought back to The Park Theater by popular demand.
ABOUT:
Each generation, perhaps once a decade, bluegrass experiences a band or an artist that redefines and recenters the genre itself. Della Mae is one such band.
The GRAMMY-nominated string band was founded in 2010 and over the next decade and a half they’ve demonstrated to the roots music world, once and for all, that a band of all women is not, nor has ever been, a mere novelty. They remain at the forefront of the explosion of women instrumentalists and all-women acts in roots music and their impact is striking and measurable – not just in North America, but around the globe.
Now 15 years since their origin, Della Mae can boast their strongest lineup yet. Founders Kimber Ludiker and Celia Woodsmith are joined by guitarist and songwriter Avril Smith and vocalist and two-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year Vickie Vaughn.
There has never been a band like Della Mae in roots music before, but thanks to Kimber Ludiker, Celia Woodsmith, Avril Smith, Vickie Vaughn – and all of the women who have been part of this band over its long life – we know there will be many more bands, singers, songwriters, and pickers just like Della Mae in the future.

Andy Cohen, Eleanor Ellis and William Lee Ellis House Concert
2026-03-29 16:00 - 18:00 | Private home, given when you reserve a seat, TBD, United States
$20 at the door
Reservations required: HouseConcerts@fssgb.org
Acclaimed acoustic performers Andy Cohen, Eleanor Ellis and William Lee Ellis return as a trio with this new album, WHISTLIN’ PAST THE GRAVEYARD. Released on Cohen’s Riverlark label, the ambitious project is a 21-track tour-de-force of old-time blues, gospel, ballads, ragtime, and country song that surpasses their previous high bar, the 1993 Marimac outing, Preachin’ in That Wilderness.
All three musicians have established themselves as noted artists in the folk and blues worlds, both on stage and in the studio: Eleanor records for the Patuxent label, Andy for Earwig Music, and William for Yellow Dog, where his latest solo album, Ghost Hymns, earned a Blues Music Awards nomination for Acoustic Blues Album of the Year.
Produced by William Lee Ellis and River Hartley (Ghost Hymns), Whistlin’ is a truly unique listen, one that fits no single musical category; rather, it explores with finger-picked verve and joy the expansive palette of America’s musical past, still relevant and very much alive in the sound of this remarkable trio.
ANDY COHEN: “A singularly unique figure, Andy Cohen deserves some long overdue accolades.” – ALL MUSIC GUIDE
ELEANOR ELLIS: “A celebrated master of the country and Piedmont blues, one of the most significant women in the acoustic genre… a torchbearer.” – LIVING BLUES
WILLIAM LEE ELLIS: “A masterful genre-bender who sounds completely at home and thoroughly invested in whatever style he tackles.” – ACOUSTIC GUITAR

Tom Pirozzoli and Willy Porter
2026-04-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Bass Hall at Monadnock Center, Peterborough NH, 19 Grove St, Peterborough, NH, 03458, United States
For more than thirty years, Tom Pirozzoli’s simple path has been a life rich in music, art, and travel, yielding a career filled with nine studio albums, numerous songwriting credits, and collaborations with other artists such as Willy Porter, Joyce Andersen, and David Wilcox. Tom’s sophisticated guitar work forms the rich backdrop for his warm tenor that delivers melodies and lyrics exploring the full range of the human and global experience.
A self-taught guitarist and painter, Tom found himself playing in New England coffeehouses at the age of 19. The sense of endless possibility and adventure of the 1970s lead to travels – initially through Europe and South America, India and Southeast Asia, and eventually to China and Tibet. His encounters with such an array of people, cultures, and ideas have contributed to and enriched his painting, music, and lyrical content.
“Pirozzoli ‘s hypnotic soothing vocals and rich guitar textures… well crafted” –Sing Out
“…good sound, man!” –Taj Mahal
“The passionate philosopher-songwriter captures a variety of musical styles in his original songs, invoking a feeling of comfortable familiarity, like spending time with a good friend.” – Autumn Magazine

Willy Porter
Searching for the shaman that lives inside the guitar has led Willy Porter on a musical and personal odyssey spanning over two decades, 10 albums, and multiple continents. His journey remains defined by an independent drive to evolve as a musician and human, affording him the freedom to create the next song on his own terms. Equally accomplished as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Porter’s songs weave a universal perspective about the questions, struggles, and triumphs of human existence. His live shows are guitar-driven events—equal parts grit, soul, and muscle—that are electrifying, dynamic, and wholly original in the way that Porter’s voice blends and fuses with his virtuoso fret work.
“I found Willy on iTunes six years ago. Went to see him live and joined the converted.“— Al Kooper (Bob Dylan/Blood, Sweat & Tears)
“Thank goodness he doesn’t play the flute.“— Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull
“Porter is a dazzling acoustic guitarist with a moody baritone…“— The Washington Post
