Join us rain or shine in Fairlee on Tuesday, August 1st for a free performance by the Starline Rhythm Boys.
Formed in 1998 by three professional musicians with a combined experience of over 100 years in various bands, The Starline Rhythm Boys are a full time, actively booked drummer-less "Tennessee Trio", consisting of Danny Coane ("Little Danny C") on acoustic rhythm guitar, “Big” Al Lemery on electric lead guitar and Billy (“Slappin’ Billy B”) Bratcher on acoustic upright "slap" bass, in the style of Elvis', Cash's and Perkins' early bands. The Boys perform vintage country, honky-tonk and rockabilly music along with very tight and powerful country harmony duet vocals. Their repertoire consists of many superb originals, mainly written by Bratcher, as well as great covers of both classic and obscure numbers. The Starline Rhythm Boys are a unique original band with outstanding, real-deal sound, style, energy, stage presence and appearance. They have appeared at almost every type of venue, as well as on radio and TV. They are both a listening and highly danceable group and appeal to a very wide age range. The Starline Rhythm Boys have released seven critically acclaimed recordings and received several honors.
The concert will be on the Fairlee Town Common from 6:30-8:00pm. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. In the event of bad weather, the rain site is the Fairlee Community Church of Christ, located adjacent the common.
A free prize drawing, featuring items donated by local businesses, will take place during intermission, and everyone who attends the concert is eligible to participate at no cost.
This is the 5th in a series of 7 weekly Tuesday night concerts in Fairlee. Everyone is welcome, including residents of Fairlee and neighboring towns, tourists, relatives, and others. Bring a friend! For a list of all concerts in the series, check out fairleemusic.org.
The Fairlee Community Music Series is made possible by the Jack & Dorothy Byrne Foundation, Northstar Fireworks, Wells River Savings Bank, Sargent Artesian Wells, and additional support from private donors.
