Folk music returns to Wardsboro on Saturday, July 15 as Wardsboro Curtain Call presents Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson, the husband-and-wife duo from nearby Townshend VT, better known as Hungrytown. They will be performing their new songs from the upcoming album "Circus for Sale".
Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson through many years of worldwide touring have crafted Hungrytown into an "artistic hybrid" which includes Celtic and Americana, ballads and psychedelia, sunshine and darkness, joy and despair both "within the same album and the same song". Their albums include: Further West, Any Forgotten Thing, Hungrytown 2008, Sunday Afternoon and Rebecca Hall Sings.
Hungrytown didn't close up shop during the pandemic. They spent their time organically crafting Circus For Sale.
A review from Jeni Hankins, a singer-songwriter from Appalachia, now living in England states "Circus For Sale is the soundtrack for the film we all lived during the pandemic and the sequel for the life we are living now." Circus For Sale is part wistful reflection and part forecast of things to come always conveyed with precisely the right words married to a waterfall of companion folk sounds.
The show takes place in the Wardsboro Town Hall; doors open at 6:30 and music begins at 7:00. Admission is $10.00 at the door. Plan to bring your own refreshments & beverages to enjoy in the café setting. For more information email kwkmdavis@yahoo.com or call 802-896-6810.
