Andy Davis sings original songs and Martha Burns sing traditional songs at Rebop Farm in West Brattleboro. With guitar and accordion - and perhaps a special guest or two - the evening will be an adventure in both traditional song and new songs written in traditional style. Each song is a bit of history, a story and a remembrance. Suggested donation $10-20, sliding scale.
Andy Davis taught elementary music in Brattleboro, Dover and other area towns for over 30 years. Calling community dances and playing banjo, piano and accordion has kept him in touch with traditional music and its place in community life. In retirement Andy has focussed on songwriting. His songs speak of life in New England, interesting characters, dear friends, philosophical musings and an occasional political or environmental commentary. Mixed in with his original songs will be some original waltzes, jigs and reels - all with a story or memory to relate.
Martha Burns sings old-time American folk songs the old-time way. Heart songs, cowboy songs, tragic ballads, and comic ditties. Songs from the mountains and songs from the range. Songs from the earliest period of recorded country music and songs never sung in a studio. Her haunting voice is perfectly suited to her old-time repertoire. An accomplished guitarist, Martha’s accompaniments bring out the pith in a song. She has been singing and playing American folk music since Hoover was in the White House—well, almost—and has performed throughout North America and abroad.
