Fifth Business
Saturday February 3 at 7 PM
Peacham Library

Performances will begin at 7 pm in the basement of the Peacham Library. An open mic session will follow the main act.

Like the weather in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont from which they hail, if you don't like the music of Fifth Business, just wait a minute! That English pub song might be followed by a set of Celtic fiddle tunes, or an original song about local affairs. Fifth Business has been blending music from the US and the British Isles for a dozen or so years now at farmers markets and other local venues. Classically trained violinist Nick Anzalone has been turned to the traditional side and leads the way with expressive fiddling; Stuart Corso contributes a lively button accordion; Hannah Davie adds depth with mandolin; and Steve Davie keeps it all together with guitar and octave mandolin (that's the weird-looking one). Along with Heather Alger and Kate Davie, everyone provides vocals in a repertoire that leans to songs about rural living and/or people who are behaving badly. If you need proof that folk music isn't necessarily politically correct, this is where you'll find it.

All performances are free, although a $5 donation is encouraged to support the performers.January 30 6 PM
