SUMMARY:Tray Wellington Band
DESCRIPTION:November 1st – Banjo player Tray Wellington’s approach to the quintessential American instrument is all about looking forward. An International Bluegrass Music Association Award winner\, Wellington is critically acclaimed not only for his technical prowess\, but also for leveraging his unique point of view to craft a one-of-a-kind voice on the instrument. It’s a feat that’s all too rare in these roots genres that seem to value emulation and regurgitation over all else. Instead\, Wellington has time and time again reasserted that his playing style\, and all of the many varied and disparate parts that combine within it\, is wholly his own – and it’s unconcerned with tradition. \nWhether seen on CNN\, discovered in reviews and features by The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times\, or heard on the main stage of roots music festivals across the country\, Wellington combines forward-looking musical textures and influences with an athletic and trad right hand. There are numerous qualities here evoking so many five-string banjo legends\, but there are just as many that are brand new – referencing or conjuring jazz\, swing\, bebop\, hip-hop\, rock and roll\, and beyond. Wellington is carving a truly unique pathway for himself in music and on the banjo. \nWith roots in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee\, Wellington subverts those expectations and presuppositions of five-string banjo players artfully; his playing is constantly informed by a striking self awareness. Do not be confused\, his bluegrass\, old-time\, and traditional expertise is well-honed\, since he was a teenager\, but at this stage in his solo career\, they are merely a small handful of influences in the rich\, diverse soil his music is rooted in. On top of this well of knowledge\, Wellington knows how he is perceived in these roots music spaces\, and he uses that awareness to his advantage. \nGeneral Admission: 25.00\nBar area opens at 7pm\nDoors open at 7:30pm\nMusic at 8pm

SUMMARY:Mama's Broke
DESCRIPTION:November 5th – Mama’s Broke is a powerful duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy.  Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots\, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere. \nTheir two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies\, while they artfully juggle fiddle\, banjo\, guitar and mandolin\, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance.  Their original -and often dark- compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre.  Drawing from old-time\, Quebecois\, blues\, punk\, celtic\, balkan and doom metal\, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new. \nFor a group defined by constant touring\, it’s not surprising that the two artists that make up Mama’s Broke\, Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler\, met on the road. As Lisa remembers it\, “Amy was driving her old Mercedes from Montreal to Nova Scotia and I was looking for a ride. We spent the 17 hours in the car talking almost exclusively about music. By the time we reached Halifax we started playing together\, and within a week or two became a band.” Both coming out of traveling communities that are focused on music and protest\, the two owe the way in which they move through the world to the integrated and self-sustaining nature of DIY culture and activism. It was a busy life that took them on a roundabout annual touring schedule running between Canada\, the United States\, Ireland\, the UK\, and Europe. In each country\, they built grassroots DIY communities to support their music or moved along the pathways of communal organizing that sustained other touring artists. \nGeneral Admission: 27.00 \nBar area opens at 7pm \nDoors to concert Hall opens at 7:30pm \nMusic at 8pm

SUMMARY:The Barefoot Movement
DESCRIPTION:November 13th – The Barefoot Movement\nSince their 2011 debut Footwork\, The Barefoot Movement has been winning hearts and carving a bold place in the Americana and acoustic roots world.

SUMMARY:An evening with Caitlin Canty
DESCRIPTION:November 14th – Caitlin Canty – Caitlin Canty’s songs harness the grit and spark at the heart of American music\, tempered with a voice both haunting and distinct. \nSince the release of her critically-acclaimed Reckless Skyline in 2015\, Canty has put thousands of miles on her songs\, touring throughout the U.S. and Europe. She is a constant collaborator\, both as a co-writer with Peter Bradley Adams and Jamey Johnson among others\, and appears on albums by Joy Williams\, Jeffrey Foucault and Darlingside. \nCaitlin Canty’s new record\,Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove is her fifth studio release and marks a return to her roots\, a grittier and more electric Americana sound with echoes of her critically-acclaimed 2015 album\, Reckless Skyline. Recorded live in the studio while nearly 8 months pregnant with her second child\,the songs can be seen in the light of major shifts in Canty’s life\, from pre-parenthood city life in Nashville to her present day filled to the brim with family and nature\, living on top of a mountain in southern Vermont. Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove finds Canty in the producer chair for the first time. Co-produced alongside Sam Kassirer(Josh Ritter)\, the album was recorded live at Great North Sound Society in rural Maine over 4 days with Rich Hinman(guitars)\, Jeremy Moses Curtis(bass)\, Ray Rizzo(drums) and Kassirer (keys). Matt Lorenz(The Suitcase Junket) joins on backing vocals. All songs on the record are entirely from Canty’s own pen\, with the exception of “Heartache Don’t Live Here” written with Jamey Johnson\, which serves as both the coda and encore of the album. \nShe has performed at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, Fresh Grass\, and Green Mountain Bluegrass and Roots Festival. She won the Telluride Troubadour songwriting competition at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2015. Her song\,“Get Up\,” was nominated for Song of theYear in the Folk Alliance International Music Awards and was featured on NPR Music’s\, “Songs We Love.”Excited to have her back at the G.A.R. Hall. \nGeneral Admission – 25.00 \nBar area opens at 7pm\nConcert Hall opens at 7:30pm\nMusic at 8pm
