Sat. April 5th we welcome cherished Vermont musical icon Keith Murphy and his distinguished ensemble in a celebration of traditional music!
We are long time fans of Keith Murphy's music throughout his storied career with Nightingale (with Jeremiah McLane & Becky Tracy) Tony Barrand, Yann Falquet and many others.
His direct and intimate style of traditional singing in English and French infuses old ballads and songs with a powerful immediacy while his rhythmic and percussive finger style of guitar playing brings new shape and color to his songs.
After three acoustic-based solo recordings, Keith turned to a new instrumental lineup for his most recent solo project, "Bright as Amber," which delicately incorporates bass, drums, and electric guitar over his fingerstyle acoustic guitar and singing of old songs.
Bringing this sound to the stage is a band of incredible musicianship.
The Band of Amber is :
Anand Nayak is a Grammy-nominated producer and multi-instrumentalist who crafts beautifully sensitive and atmospheric textures on electric guitar.
Richie Barshay who has played with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Natalie Merchant, and Bobby McFerrin, is member of the Klezmatics, and is a drummer of astounding range and musicality.
Ty Gibbons is an acclaimed composer for film and TV, and a member of the Vermont indie folk band Red Heart the Ticker. As an acoustic bass player, he melds an understanding of traditional folk song with his other wide-ranging musical talents.
Doors at 7:00
Music starts at 7:30 for two sets with a short intermission. Homemade refreshments will be available.
