"Songwriters in the tradition of tradition" Traditional music has informed songwriters from Bach to Bob Dylan. Louise Luger will be performing music by songwriters who found their roots in the great traditions of folk music - including blues, country, Appalachian and Celtic tunes; and whatever's been sung on the porch or the road for generations. When Dylan first transformed a.m. radio songs from 'moons and junes' to the music of poetry, protest, innovation and discovery, Louise was led to explore the music that influenced him, and all the legions of songwriters he influenced. She will be singing songs by writers who are well known, and some who perhaps should be better known- including of course, Dylan; and talented musicians like Libba Cotton, Bill Staines, Jesse Winchester, Hank Williams, Iris Dement, Ryan Adams, Greg Brown and Utah Bruce Phillips. Louise sings in a strong, heartfelt and unadorned voice while accompanying herself on guitar, and occasionally harmonica. There will be a few sing alongs and the audience is encouraged to join in. She has performed solo concerts at many venues, including the Richmondtown Country Fair, the Perking Latte Cafe, the Art by the Ferry Fes- tival; and she has won Honors in the Bluegrass Competition at Paddy Reillys. She's Continued on next page - 2 - FMSNY Events Details- Continued also known as a songwriter herself, and will perform a few of her own compositions.

  • 1 a Conversation with Abigail Washburn by Frank
    A Conversation with Abigail Washburn by Frank Goodman (9/2005, Puremusic.com) It’s curious in the arts, especially music, that success or notoriety can sometimes come more easily to those who started late, or never even planned to be an artist in the first place. But perhaps, by the time that music seriously enters their life, people they’ve met or other things that they’ve done or been interact with that late-breaking musical urge and catalytically convert it into something that works, takes shape or even wings. And so many who may have played the same instrument or sung or composed the same style of music all their lives may never have been rewarded, or at least noticed, for a life’s work. Timing, including the totality of what one brings to the table at that particular time, seems to be what matters. Or destiny, perhaps, if one believes in such a thing. By the time that musical destiny came knocking at Abigail Washburn’s door, her young life was already paved with diverse experiences. She’d gone abroad to China in her freshman year at college, and it changed her fundamentally. She became so interested in that culture and that tradition that it blossomed into a similar interest in her own culture when she returned, and she went deeply into the music of Doc Watson and other mountain music figures, into old time and clawhammer banjo music in particular. She’d sung extensively in choral groups already, so that came naturally. She was working as a lobbyist and living in Vermont, and had close friends who were a string band.

  • April Verch Bio (2011)
    April Verch, doesn’t just perform music, she exudes it. The internationally renowned Canadian fiddler, singer, songwriter and stepdancer has a passion for performing and her goal is to touch the lives of those who are listening at any given moment. “The world is this amazing puzzle that we can’t fully understand and music is the joy that pulls it all together and helps us make sense of it,” says Verch, with a dynamic excitement and confidence that makes you believe her in a heartbeat. !Dirk Powell, a multi-instrumentalist, who’s worked with Jack White, Joan Baez, Riverdance and the film Cold Mountain, is awed by April’s ability to play any kind of roots music as though it was her native tongue. “She’s so fluent in the language of music that she never needs to imitate,” Powell says. “She hears the heart of it and lets that become part of her core. April’s just got that, man; she’s always speaking the language for real. She is a rare mix of all the technique and super-flashy things, along with the deep soul and tradition that comes from having grown up with the music." !On her eighth CD, That’s How We Run, April explores the Southern mountain traditions known as old time music, but always brings her Northern roots with her. Plucky, straight-backed Canadian tunes fit so snugly beside ancient Appalachian airs that you’d think they’d been neighbors for centuries. When she sings her own songs, you feel sultry Southern air blowing through every wet, bluesy slide of “That’s How We Run,” just as you feel the tight-shouldered Northern chill in her heartbroken “Still Trying.” Through sinewy old time American reels or crisp Canadian hops, singing the happy Ontario chestnut “Moonshine Mac,” or swapping hot licks with the cream of old time’s new breed, like Dirk Powell, Riley Baugus, and Rayna Gellert, April is always being April.

  • A Conversation with Sarah Hawker of the Lonesome Sisters by Frank Goodman (8/2006, Puremusic.Com)
    A Conversation with Sarah Hawker of The Lonesome Sisters by Frank Goodman (8/2006, Puremusic.com) Like a marriage, like a boxing match, like figure skating, there is something magical in the duo paradigm. A trio never stands naked like a duo does. But in that nakedness lies a much more intimate and illuminating experience, especially in the rare instances of vocal resonance as one finds in The Lonesome Sisters. Sarah Hawker and Debra Clifford are to the music born, but in much different ways. Debra is a veteran of many old time country and bluegrass groups from upper New York State. She's a very strong guitarist and banjo player, and a superlative vocalist. Sarah grew up a closet singer, dwarfed by a deeply talented Virginia family on one side and musically adrift from a non-artistic family on the other. She tells a stirring story of how she came out as a singer through the death of her musical grandfather, Ben Hawker. She's the niece of Ginny Hawker, a highly regarded singer, and Tracy Schwartz, who was a longtime member of the trailblazing New Lost City Ramblers, who showed the world where old time music was at in the '60s, and for many years to come. The story contained in the following conversation with Sarah includes her fateful meeting with Debra Clifford at a camp of her aunt's. It should be an inspiration to all who have a voice within them that they would like to set free. As only a great duo will do, their music started resonating with other people immediately, the way it did and does with each other.

  • 2021 Blue Ridge Old Time Music Instructors Advanced Fiddle Class
    2021 Blue Ridge Old Time Music Instructors Advanced Fiddle Class: Rachel Eddy Join us for a week of advanced fiddling tips and tunes! This workshop will largely focus on the more subtle nuances of fiddling, such as drive, groove, tone and bowing patterns, while shaping phrases to make all these things work together. We will talk about and explore the mechanics of bowing, and how to engage parts of your shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand to create better mechanical flow and groove. Good economy of motion and a relaxed, yet strong bowing arm help to make fiddling sound smoother while also driving the tune forward. There will be a good handful of interesting and challenging tunes that will guide us through these conversations, and serve as take-away examples of things you can hopefully apply to all aspects of your playing. Fiddle Blues and Rags: Mick Kinney Since the 1800s, Ragtime and blues has been part of fiddling. Studying one measure at a time, you will have some great pieces to include in your collection. We'll begin with tunes in familiar keys and scales so you can get into some raggy rhythms right away. As we progress, we will cover some improvisations within the blues, and the harmony behind the old-time rags. Our material will range from classic American composers W.C. Handy and Scott Joplin, to Jug Band and street style fiddlers. Suggested for intermediate to advancing fiddle or mandolin. Intermediate Fiddle: Beverly Smith In this class we will be concentrating on old time fiddle style - how to get that sound you love.
