LYNN TREFZGER
Friday, July 22, 2011. Alma Theater, 7pm.
$5 general admission (no discounts). [buy tickets]
Lynn Trefzger, a self-taught ventriloquist, brings together amazing figure manipulation and exceptional vocal skills to create a fascinating comedy act which delights young and old throughout the country. Writing and developing her own original and endlessly inventive routines, Lynn thrives on her interaction with the audience. Dummies, puppets, inanimate objects, and unsuspecting by-standers become part of the wild world that Lynn Trefzger and her comical partners create. Her vocal illusion talents were first brought to national audiences on television's popular 'Star Search' and she has since performed with artists including Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, Drew Carey, and Faith Hill. Lynn (and her many voices) has appeared on ABC, TNN, A&E and Lifetime television.
GIRLYMAN
Friday, July 29, 2011. Alma Theater, 7pm.
$5 general admission (no discounts). [buy tickets]
Imagine the Indigo Girls got together with Paul Simon and created Peter, Paul and Mary! Informed by 60s vocal groups like Simon and Garfunkel and The Mamas and The Papas, and infused with years of classical and jazz training, Girlyman's songs are a dance of melody and suspensions - an irresistible blend of acoustic, Americana, and rock The Village Voice calls 'really good, really unexpected, and really different.' Girlyman has collaborated with comedian Margaret Cho in co-writing songs for her album, Guitarded. Of Girlyman Cho says 'They seamlessly blend folk, country, pop and rock and they genre bend as fearlessly and flawlessly as they gender-bend.'
HEY MAVIS
Friday, August 5, 2011. Alma Theater, 7pm.
$5 general admission (no discounts). [buy tickets]
Hey Mavis crosses the genres of Americana, Texas Two-step, bluegrass, folk, and rock with a striking blend of female vocal harmonies, banjo, upright bass, and over-the-top fiddle and viola solos. In their songwriting, the trio finds the fine threads within stories of all types--from the fantastic to everyday--and weaves them into captivating musical journeys. Legendary producer Don Dixon (REM, Red Clay Ramblers, Smithereens) produced their debut CD Red Wine, which finished the year being voted #13 on the Folk Alley International Listening Poll alongside new releases from Tim O'Brien, Peter Rowan, Mary Chapin Carpenter, The Chieftains and Bob Dylan. Hey Mavis is Laurie Michelle Caner, Sarah Benn, and Ed Caner. Ed has performed as soloist and sideman with countless artists, including Luciano Pavarotti, Smokey Robinson, Wayne Newton, Michael Stanley and Page and Plant. Laurie and Sarah both have extensive experience as members of the all-women vocal harmony group, The Rhondas.
GUYS WITH GUITARS: Neil Jacobs, Doug Wood, Tim Farrell
Friday, August 12, 2011. Alma Theater, 7pm.
$5 general admission (no discounts), [buy tickets]
Guys With Guitars features three regionally recognizable solo musicians - Neil Jacobs, Doug Wood, Tim Farrell - joining together for a concert event reminiscent of the old Windham Hill Concert Series. Neil Jacobs covers the world vibe with music as diverse and varied as gypsy, world, Balkan, classical and modern fingerstyle guitar while transforming his 12-string acoustic guitar into his own personal orchestra, and sharing his fascinating stories with the audience.
Since his days of performing in the Boston subways in the early 90s, progressive instrumental guitarist Doug Wood has earned the status as one of the premier independent acoustic performers in the country. Tim Farrell's fingerstyle playing and original compositions display an elegant simplicity that celebrates the purity of the acoustic guitar. Tim is a rare kind of musician, with the ability to both entertain an audience and inspire future generations of players.
