Headline Act: PossumHaw (http://www.possumhaw.net/)
PossumHaw is returning for their second performance at the Old Brick Church. The group offers a special combination: the drive of bluegrass and the original lyricism of folk, delivered by one of the finest female vocalists in the region. Vocalist Colby Crehan brings this sound to audiences with the Vermont band PossumHaw. Formed in 2004 by husband-wife team Ryan (banjo player) and Colby Crehan and lead guitarist Charley Eiseman, the group has evolved into a well-oiled machine with stunning vocal harmonies and stellar acoustic instrumentation. Mandolinist Stephen Waud joined the group in 2009 and bassist Mitch Barron in 2013.

Jazz and blues influences weave through a repertoire of original music fueled by Crehan's skilled songwriting. Crehan’s song “Road to Mora” was named Vermont Song of the Year, and Crehan named Vermont Vocalist of the Year (Tammie Awards, Times-Argus).

In addition to finely-crafted music provided by the entire band, front man Ryan Crehan makes audiences feel right at home with wonderful stage presence and wry humor. PossumHaw is what the Northeast folk and bluegrass music scene is all about—excellent original acoustic live music delivered with skill, sincerity, and personality.

Opening Act: Hanna Fair (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixrTxmE7ri4)
Hannah Fair, singer-songwriter and the lead vocalist for the North End Honeys, has been described as “a ball of sunshine with a gilded throat that channels her homegrown soul out into the world .. “. Hannah will bring to the BCMS her soulful blend of honky-tonk, bluegrass and folk.
