The next Wardsboro Curtain Call show on Saturday July 22 opens with local favorite Hungrytown. The folk duo will take the stage at 7pm at Wardsboro Town Hall, Main Street, Wardsboro. They will be opening for
“Americana Pioneer” singer-songwriter and stream-caster David Olney.
David Olney has released more than 20 albums over four decades. Olney’s music has been prominently featured in ABC-TV’s “Nashville” and his intelligent songs have been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Tim O’Brien, Front Country, Slaid Cleaves and Steve Young, among many others. Well-known for his energetic live performances packed with such an intensity, they leave audiences with a truly memorable experience. Joining Olney onstage will be Daniel Seymour playing bass.
“If you like your musical heroes to rock out like the jackhammer of a rockabilly saint but also deliver song sonnets from a contemplative place, then David Olney is your man” ( Acoustic Live! Magazine – New York, New York.) “[David] Olney rocks with blistering intensity…but he also mesmerizes” (The Philadelphia Inquirer.) “[David Olney’s] got a most intense way with words and music, one that lets him zero in on an emotion and then laser it into the human heart itself” (Bentley’s Bandstand, The Morton Report.)

After more than a decade of world-wide touring and three album releases, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson--otherwise known as the folk duo Hungrytown--have earned a reputation for the quality and authenticity of their songwriting: “It’s great to hear an act eschew sentimentality in favor of honesty and to prove that you don’t have to go raiding the memory of others to find the stuff that really good songs are made of,” writes Jedd Beaudoin of Popmatters. www.hungrytown.net.
