12th Annual Prescott Park Folk Festival
July 18, 2009 - Time 5:00PM - 10:00PM

Suggested donation is $8-$10.

Join some of the region's top performers in this celebration of America's truest art form. Come hear the stories and dance to the music of these acoustic wonders!

   
 

David Bromberg
Bromberg plays a full band's worth of instruments, including acoustic and electric guitar, fiddle and dobro. He is one of the most proficient musicians of his era with an eclectic approach to folk, rock and bluegrass music. After several years of inactivity on the touring front, David Bromberg is back and his live show remains as unique as ever. First appearing in the '60s, it was Bromberg's extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range that brought him to the attention of Bob Dylan, Ringo Star, John Hurt, Chubby Checker and others.

 

Samantha Robichaud
With over 200 awards and only 20 years old, this fiddler is classed as one of Canada's best and will absolutely wow you. Picking up the fiddle at age four (and never putting it down), Samantha has performed from Carnegie Hall to the Grand Ole Opry and was the first female recipient of the Daniel Pearl Memorial Violin in 2005. Her stage presence packs a wallop and her music makes it easy to see why the Canadian East Coast is world famous for their fiddle playing.

 

   
 

Christine Lavin
Christine Lavin is a singer/songwriter artist living in New York City who has recorded over 19 solo albums. Lavin's hilarious performances make you laugh uncontrollably thanks to her unique and funny take on contemporary life that makes for a one-of-a-kind concert experience. Lavin brings the insight and wit of a humorist with a novelists eye for evocative details and compelling narratives. If you've yet to experience a Christine Lavin performance before, you're in for a great joy.

Jason Spooner Trio
The ingredients behind northern New England’s Jason Spooner Trio read like a bizarre musical science experiment. Start with a prolific, singer/songwriter (Jason Spooner) with heavy roots, folk & blues influences. Then mix in a classicly-trained bassist (Adam Frederick) with foundations in jazz and a knack for serious pocket grooves. Lastly, shake things up with a rock-solid drummer (Reed Chambers) with deep-seeded roots in funk, soul & reggae and you’ve begun to scratch the surface of this unique, energetic band.
