The 2019 Chester Summer Music Series is delighted to present Ida Mae Specker and the Terrible Mountain Stringband on Thursday, August 8, 2019 at 6 30 PM on the Academy Lawn across from the Green, downstreet Chester, Vermont as the last of our six summer concerts.
Ida Mae Specker and the Terrible Mountain Stringband fuses original, contemporary, and traditional material, bringing heartfelt new life and relevance to the chain of American folk music. Third generation fiddle players, sisters Ida Mae Specker and Lila Specker were born in a one-room cabin at the foot of Terrible Mountain in Andover, Vermont and learned to play the fiddle from their father, John Specker.
Together with Josh Norman on guitar, vocals and percussion, Lila and Ida Mae formed Terrible Mountain Stringband in 2017. They are joined by William Seeders Mosheim on banjo. Carrying on the legacy of their forebearers, the band pays homage to the past while continuously evolving their unique sound.
Bring your lawn chairs and blankets.
In the event of rain, the concerts will be held at American Legion Post #67, 637 Route 103 S. in Chester.
