Ticket Link for All Concerts
Sunday, January 19, 4 pm -- Suzannah Ciernia
(No advanced tickets available for this concert)
Suzannah grew up in a musical family, listening to classical, rock and roll,
and old jazz standards, however during her childhood in the South she was
also drawn to the rhythm and blues being played on black radio stations
and lists Mahalia Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nina Simone among her
vocal influences.
Since the COVID lockdown hit soon after landing in the Upper Valley, she is
excited to now be performing again. Bob Lucier will join her on piano and
they are delighted to welcome Claremont musician Parker Eastman, a
multi-instrumentalist who will be featured on a number of tunes.
The concert will be a benefit for The Family Place, which provides services to families with
young children in the Upper Valley and surrounding communities. Their programs are designed
to strengthen positive relationships, teach essential skills, and promote healthy growth.
Donations will be accepted at the door, with all proceeds benefiting The Family Place.
Sunday, February 2, 2025 4 pm -- Cosy Sheridan
Cosy Sheridan has been called one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful
songwriters, and also ‘a buddhist monk trapped in the body of a singer-
songwriter’. A guitar student of instrumental luminaries Guy Van Duser and
Eric Schoenberg, and a voice student at The Berklee School of Music, she
brings a depth of experience to her craft. She plays a percussive bluesy guitar
style - often in open tunings and occasionally with two or more capos on the
guitar. She first caught the attention of national folk audiences in 1992 when
she won both the Kerrville Folk Festival's NewSong Award and The Telluride
Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Contest, and then released her critically
acclaimed CD Quietly Led on Waterbug Records. “She is a wonderfully lively,
very funny, and enormously amiable entertainer with a keen and wicked eye
for the excesses of our fast-food, tv-happy and noisome culture.” - The Boston
Globe.
