The Performers

Betsy Listenfelt

"A little Sarah with a little Joni with a lot of Anne & Nancy Wilson all mixed together" is how Betsy Listenfelt describes her sound. Based in Rhode Island, Betsy performs around New England mostly as a solo acoustic act but does appear on occasion with different musicians as a duo or trio and on main events with a full band. She has recently released her second CD called "BE ALIVE" and she is presently in the process of booking shows to promote this work. The CD contains her stirring tribute to our war veterans, "Freedom Song", which has become the de facto theme to this concert series (see main page). Find out more at:

Blackstone Valley Bluegrass Band

Located in the heart of central Ma, exposure to the heavy metal content of the Blackstone river has produced a copious amount of fine bluegrass
pickers. ;-) Most notably are the Dick brothers, Bob and Dave, from Sutton. Renowned musicians and celebrated recording artists, this brother combo will WOW you with their award winning picking. The Ken Taylor-Dan Nowlan bass/mandolin combo has been together in numerous bands for over 10 years. With their own distinctive style, these two crank out solid rhythm, and like to have a little fun too! Put these four longtime friends together and you have a group that has excellent musicianship, fine harmonies, high energy and a true love of the music. Breakdowns and Gospel. Fiddle tunes and a Waltz. This is bluegrass! You will not be disappointed!!
