Join us Saturday Sept. 23 at 7pm for the combined harmonies and guitars of Bennett & Perkins. Kathy Bennett and Thom Perkins perform songs with stories and music inspired by everyday lives, lost loves, lost lives and real-life adventure, coupled with haunting harmonies and memorable arrangement of vocals and guitar.
Thom Perkins' guitar work has been compared to Richard Thompson and Bruce Cockburn - you'll swear he has more than 10 fingers once you hear him play. Kathy Bennett has "a voice that can crack sheet rock" with vocals likened to Lucinda Williams, Bonnie Raitt and Emmy Lou Harris all rolled into one. They’re a powerhouse of folk sure to resonate on both a physical and emotional level.
As an additional treat, the performance will be followed by a “music circle.” Bring an instrument and share a song in an informal jam session. Pass the word to anyone you know who has a portable instrument to join in. This is sure to be a night of music to remember!
Their music is a regular feature on New Hampshire Public Radio Folk Show and Maine’s folk radio standard WERU. They have performed on the stages of Medallion Opera House, Acoustic Artisans, The Cold River Radio Show, Ossipee Valley Music Festival, Cambridge’s famed Club Passim, Stone Mountain Arts Center and many fairs and festivals throughout New England.
Doors open at 6:45 pm. Tickets are $8 at the door. Children 12 and under are free. Light refreshments will be available for sale, BYOB if you wish. This event is generously sponsored by National Life Group Foundation.
