SUMMARY:The Mammals
DESCRIPTION:“The Mammals tell stories that are at once topical and timeless\, bearing a message of hope  and empowerment with a modern string-band sound.”\n– Freshgrass Festival \n“The Woody/Pete spirit of the 1940s-’50s can be found more vibrantly in their music than anywhere else in 2025 . . . their music deeply deserves to be heard from the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters.”\n– No Depression \n“A party band with a conscience”\n– Boston Globe \nIndie-roots trailblazers\, high-octane Americana from rafter-raising to hear-a-pin-drop balladry.\nThere has always been something disarmingly human about The Mammals. Long before culture fractured into its current bewildering kaleidoscope of noise and contradiction\, they were already tending to the quiet\, essential work: remembering the stories that hold people together\, and singing them with an honesty that resists corrosion. Their music feels less like performance and more like a gathering—a return to the communal spaces where truth is spoken gently\, without spectacle. \nFormed by Mike Merenda and Ruth Ungar\, The Mammals emerged from the fertile soil of folk tradition\, but not as preservationists. They listened closely to the past but their instinct was always restorative rather than nostalgic. They carried forward the lineage of protest music\, family harmony\, and grassroots resilience\, weaving them into something alive\, awake\, and stunningly contemporary. Their songs carry the emotional clarity of people who understand what is at stake—not just politically\, but spiritually\, culturally\, even ecologically. \nThe Mammals make music for a world that is forgetting how to listen. In their harmonies is a reminder that truth is rarely loud\, that connection can be a form of resistance\, and that art—when rooted in sincerity—can help us navigate even the most unsettled times.\nIn an era defined by fracture\, The Mammals remain devoted to wholeness: to the places they sing about\, the communities they nurture\, and the fragile\, enduring human spirit at the center of it all. \nFrom https://www.themammals.love/about

SUMMARY:David Francey
DESCRIPTION:We apologize that this concert had the incorrect date. It is Sept. 24th. If you need a refund\, please email pfmsconcerts.org. \nAfter having to cancel concerts twice in 2024\, we are delighted that we were able to schedule David back this September. We are really looking forward to seeing him. \n“Francey’s clear\, simple songs speak volumes to his followers. After a decade in music\, David Francey is known as one of Canada’s finest tunesmiths and a champion of the Everyman\, admired for his less-is-more approach to writing. It’s amazing how he manages to address deep stuff with such spare ingredients”\n–The Edmonton Journal \n“David’s straightforward songs tell honest stories of real people and real places. Poetic perception and a keen eye for the heart of the matter are trademarks of the man and his music. His songs and stories are a direct connection for audiences seeking depth and meaning in the day-to-day.”\n— Shelter Valley Folk Festival \nDavid Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter\, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star). Born in Ayrshire\, Scotland to parents who were factory workers\, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For decades\, he worked across Canada in rail yards\, construction sites\, and in the Yukon bush\, all the while writing poetry\, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked. \nIn concert David is a singer and a storyteller. His wry humour and astute observations combined with his openhearted singing style have earned him a loyal following. \nhttps://www.davidfrancey.com/bio

SUMMARY:Richard Shindell
DESCRIPTION:Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant\, crossing thresholds\, that informs his illumination of the human experience through narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery and busked in the streets of Paris. \nOriginally from New York\, now living in Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures\, tell stories\, juxtapose ideas and images\, inhabit characters\, vividly evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be. Meticulously recorded over three years in New York and Buenos Aires\, his most recent release\, Careless\, offered an ambitious\, luxurious\, full- length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the studio\, allowing the time and latitude to explore\, experiment\, take risks—to play—as each of these eleven songs was given form and substance. While his signature acoustic guitar style is used to good effect\, Careless also found Shindell plugging in more. “The wider sonic and dynamic range of the electric has been a real inspiration. Rejuvenating.” \nDuring the pandemic\, Shindell stayed in Argentina\, out on the wide open Pampa\, reading\, writing\, taking walks\, doing a little experimental recording\, and tending the garden. He now returns to the road for a limited number of performances. Innovative\, original and occasionally spiritual\, Shindell’s songs weave tales that interchangeably champion the downtrodden\, exalt the disaffected or wax empathetic to those lost to society’s fringes. From lighthearted ballads and adulterous love songs\, to dirges and diatribes that skillfully skewer politics\, prejudice\, war and religion\, to the comic point-of-view of a cow stuck in a barbed wire fence\, he has a unique ability to morph into the soul of the many and varied personalities he casts as narrators in certain songs—veritable novellas framed in haunting acoustic melodies. \nhttps://www.blackoakartists.com/artist/richard-shindell

SUMMARY:Abbie Gardner
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHer 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. \nhttps://www.abbiegardner.com/
