The Ripton Community Coffee House Presents folk duo Green Heron on Saturday, May 18, at the Ripton Community House at 7:30 pm. This will be our last concert.
The music of Green Heron stretches across the entire folk landscape. Old-time, folk, bluegrass, country, Celtic and blues music are all represented as the band brings the back porch to the stage. Featuring Betsy Heron on fiddle, banjo and vocals, and Scott Heron on guitar, banjo and vocals, the duo has been sharing New England stages together since 2017. The two songwriters weave the contemporary with the traditional and deliver high energy performances.
To date, Green Heron has released three albums: "Folk Heroes" in 2018, "New Pair of Shoes" in 2019 and "Feet on the Floorboards" released in 2021. In 2022, the band was nominated for Best Roots Act for the New England Music Awards.
New Hampshire's weekly newspaper The Hippo said: "Betsy and Scott Heron's deft, delicate instrumental interplay and inspired harmonies make the case for them as New Hampshire's own Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings." New Hampshire Magazine described Green Heron as a: "gumbo of old-time, bluegrass, folk, Irish, country and blues. They guide us along a path that alternates between a percolating stroll and an all-out breakneck sprint across the American folk landscape. Their pairing of string instruments with beautiful vocal harmonies is uplifting and joyful."
