Grace Church kicks off its season of music with the 22nd "Farewell Reunion," hosted by Mark Sustic and featuring Becky Tracy and Keith Murphy is scheduled for Friday May 24, 2024 at Grace Church in Sheldon, Vermont.
Becky Tracy (fiddle) and Keith Murphy (guitar, mandolin, piano and foot percussion) are dynamic performers of traditional music from Newfoundland, Quebec, Ireland, France and beyond. Tracy's fiddling pulses through tasteful arrangements of dance tunes and resonates with beauty on traditional slow airs. Keith's gentle and expressive singing in English and French is balanced by the drive and power of his guitar playing and foot percussion. Combined, they produce a range and richness of sound that is striking.
Proceeds from the concert benefit the Tom Sustic Fund, supporting families with children with life-threatening/life-altering conditions including hospitalization and transplantation. The concert is presented by Grace Church as part of the Summer Music at Grace Series and is supported by a variety of friends, families, businesses and organizations including the Black Lantern Inn, Ruth Dennis, Nancy & Rit Divenere, Michael & Patricia Freed-Thall, Lars Larsen, Pam & Jack McCarthy, People's Trust Company, Stone's Throw Pizza, Deborah Travis & Mark Sustic, Vermont Family Network & several anonymous contributors.
