An Incredibly Interesting And Mysterious Announcement By Newport Folk Festival
The Newport Folk Festival continues its lineup announcements and the week started with an extremely interesting announcement!
Important Fundraising Event Starring Patty Larkin
On Friday, June 5, 2015, Patty Larkin, a favorite musician of many in the Boston area, will headline a concert at The Regent Theatre in Arlington (click here for tickets) to raise funds for the important organization, Folk New England. Also on the bill are Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, as well as Tumbling Bones.
I had the opportunity to speak with Betsy Siggins, the founder and director of Folk New England – what an incredible experience! I was not familiar with Betsy but I should have been. She has been a fixture, albeit behind the scenes to a great extent, on the ‘folk revival’ scene in Cambridge, Washington (DC), and New York for 50+ years. She has been interested in the world of folk music since her childhood, and has many stories to tell.
Funk/Reggae Rocked The House!
This was not the first time The Extended Play Sessions hosted The Get Right Band, a funk/reggae/rock trio from Asheville, North Carolina, so we knew to expect a dance party. Little did we know that more people would be on their collective feet for most of the show!
As I write this, knowing the band will return in the fall for a third show, I feel that The Get Right Band is our ‘house’ band. We are all comfortable with one another and that is evident in their performance.
A Terrific Singer-Songwriter Returns To The Extended Play Sessions
The Extended Play Sessions American Roots Music Television announced the return of the marvelous Amelia White and the Blue Souvenirs with Sergio Webb, who will be in the studio for a Session on Sunday, May 31st at 7 pm. I saw part of this band (Amelia and Sergio Webb) the last time they were at the Sessions and they were amazing!

The Beehive Queen Captured Our Hearts
We gathered at the Extended Play Sessions for a special event – Christine Ohlman and Rebel Montez performing at a fundraiser for the space to which The Extended Play Sessions is moving. What a fabulous (and hopefully successful) evening was had by all!
Christine had the audience exactly where she wanted us from the first notes that emanated from her mouth!
