100th Birthday Celebration featuring Betty and the Baby Boomers with Jay Fiegl
An evening of songs by, about and inspired by this great American troubadour.

Betty, Jean, Paul, and Steve are Betty and the Baby Boomers. They have been singing
together for twenty years for the love of good music. Beautiful vocal harmonies and great musicianship on guitar, bodhra, bass and dobro. Listen to  some of their music here.  Hailing from the Hudson Valley, they have performed with Pete Seeger, are fine interpreters of music in the folk tradition.

Jay Fiegl
Opener Jay Fiegl is fine local singer/songwriter. His own songs follow in the tradition of Woody Guthrie. Jay's performances at the Grange have been a highlight of our Off-Beat Xmas Show. He is a teacher in Westport and lives with his family outside of Essex.

Sinatra
Sinatra: The Music of a Legend
He was a saloon singer, an actor, a showman. A giant. A big leaguer. As he would say, a gasser. He took music in new directions, he triumphed and stumbled and triumphed again. This is Frank Sinatra’s legacy, what he did and who he was. Join us for an evening of Sinatra’s music and stories.
Rare US appearance!

SOLD OUT! Archie Fisher in Concert at the Grange
Archie 1

An avid horseman, master guitarist, storyteller, singer and songwriter, Archie Fisher is Scotland’s foremost troubadour. He is known throughout that country as the host of BBC Radio Scotland’s award-winning “Travelling Folk” show, which he presented for more than 25 years. His career stretches from the folk boom of the 1960s to concert stages and festivals in Canada, the UK and the US.

According to Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe, Fisher “has a remarkable gift for writing songs that seem to come from deep within the lives of others, whether it’s a “Bonny Border Lass,’’ a tough Ontario rancher, or a ruined Scottish fisherman. His best songs feel so timeless and authentic that many assume they are traditional.” Fisher’s songs have been recorded by Fairport Convention, the Clancy Brothers, Sheena Wellington, Eva Cassidy, Stan Rogers, and John Renbourn.
