The 21st Annual Folk Music Concert at the Old West Church in Calais, celebrates master folk musician Pete Sutherland and his Posse, Vermont's own trad-roots power trio! Composed of acclaimed musician Pete, his talented protégé Oliver Scanlon and the uber-dynamic Tristan Henderson, Pete's Posse https://www.petesposse.com/ never fails to surprise and excite! Twin fiddles in tight, wild harmony over high-powered guitar and pounding foot percussion with mandolin, clawhammer banjo, jaw harp, rocking keyboards, and soaring vocal harmonies adding color to the Posse's sonic landscape. Joining Deb and Pete are fiddler Jane Oxnard, native of Northumberland, England, VSO cellist John Dunlop and violin/fiddler Laura Markowitz.
General admission is $20 at the door. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Vermont Folklife Center.
