14th Season Performance Schedule | |||
| $18 |  | In the fall of 2006 Appleseed Recordings released One Meat Ball, a 19-artist, 96-page CD/cookbooklet produced by Christine Lavin, showcasing music by Dave Van Ronk, Pete Seeger, actor Jeff Daniels, The Accidentals, Grammy-winner Julie Gold, and a dozen other terrific singer/songwriters (and amateur chefs). The reviews has been stellar for both the music and the recipes. | |

Patty
Larkin |  | A guitar focused singer/songwriter, Patty Larkin has immersed herself in a musical world that knows no borders. Her most recent solo release, Red=Luck, showcases a world where the ancient strains of modal folk meet brooding ambient noise. It is a world where Middle-Eastern flavored melodies collide with R&B, where joyous pop and somber reflection, playful eroticism and naked soul searching entwine. Here Larkin has created a world beyond her guitar that springs from the imagination, each song part of a tightly written song cycle cinema verite of challenging times. Red=Luck is the supremely assured work of an artist who has caught a near perfect wave: an artist whose influence becomes clearer with each passing season. While Larkin's fine guitar work has been recognized by live audiences since her emergence on the acoustic music scene, it is her skills as a producer, soundscape artist and songwriter that have garnered accolades from fans and critics alike (Billboard, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair). | |
| $15 |  | Catie
Curtis delivers her most personal effort to date with Long Night Moon,
an intricate work of stripped down modern folk. With grace and
confidence, a more mature Curtis mingles reflections on motherhood (New
Flowers), cold New England winters (Hey California) and delayed
gratification (Long Night Moon, a song written about waiting for the
belated arrival of her adopted baby daughter) with the unflinching
dedication to social issues that has long characterized her strongest
work. | |

A New England native, Bill became involved with the Boston- Cambridge folk scene in the early 1960's and, for a time, emceed the Sunday hootenanny at the renowned Club 47 in Cambridge. Bill quickly became a popular performer in the Boston area. In 1971, after one of his performances, a reviewer for The Phoenix stated that Bill was "simply Boston's best performer." A decade later, both in 1980 and 1981, the annual Reader's Poll of The Boston Globe selected him as a favorite performer. In 1991 , Bill entered his forth decade as a folk performer with an international reputation as an artist. | |
| $15 adv / $18 door |  | The Reverend Fred Small, singer-songwriter and pastor of First Church Unitarian will perform a special benefit concert. All proceeds will benefit the Dr. Edgar D. Bell Jr. Fund for Social Justice. Before entering the ministry, Small toured internationally as a folksinger, and has released 7 albums.

His songs call for a greater sense of fairness and justice. While Small takes social issues seriously, he also injects humor into his songs and performances. | |
