Concert Line-up:
Nate Gusakov and Robinson Morse
Nate Gusakov lives in Lincoln near the headwaters of the New Haven River, where he makes his living as a carpenter and musician. He is self-taught on the banjo, and his first album of all- original music, Running Clear (2013), received praise for its stellar claw hammer style banjo and rich lyricism. Bassist, Robinson Morse has played and toured with many of the finest musicians in Vermont. He lives outside Montpelier on the old family farm.

Fadhili with Niel Maurer
Fadhili, whose name in Swahili means "a blessing to others," was born in Congo, raised in Tanzania and came to the States over two years ago. She and her family of seven siblings, parents and grandmother live in Hinesburg, where Fadhili attends CVU High School and works at Lantman’s Supermarket. Fadhili has sung all her life, and wherever she finds herself, she sings. This is Fadhili's debut performance on a big stage in America. She is accompanied on keyboards by Niel Maurer, who instructs in many instruments at Hinesburg Community School and frequently performs in the area.

Jamie Masefield with Doug Perkins, Tyler Bolles, and Jon Fishman
Known for his ground-breaking band, The Jazz Mandolin Project, Jamie Masefield has for many years been challenging notions of what the mandolin can do, performing at festivals like Bonnoroo and The New Orleans Jazz Festival. Doug Perkins' debut cd "Music for the Flat Top Guitar" was voted Best Instrumental Album of the year by the Times Argus in 2012. Tyler Bolles is one of the most sought-after upright bassists in the region. The hot acoustic picking here is amongst the finest on the East coast. The trio is joined by none other than Phish drummer Jon Fishman.

Proceeds from the evening will benefit Responsible Growth Hinesburg.
