About Fara
Fara brings together four musicians at the forefront of today’s Scottish folk scene, Jennifer Austin, Kristan Harvey, Jeana Leslie and Catriona Price’s three fiddles and a piano, to produce a fiery sound rooted strongly in their upbringing among the music of Orkney.

Having been friends since early childhood, the girls grew up under the musical guidance of Douglas Montgomery (The Chair, Saltfishforty) with the three East Mainlanders of the band in fiddle group Hadhirgaan at Kirkwall Grammar School, and Kristan, a West Mainlander, in Jenny Keldie’s Shoramere at Stromness Academy. The four girls then went on to study south, and hold degrees from The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Strathclyde University, The Royal Northern College of Music and The Royal Academy of Music. They have all since established themselves in the Scottish music scene winning prizes along the way which include the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award, The BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year, The Deutsche Bank Award in Performance and Composition, and the Danny Kyle Award.

The idea for the band came after several appearances as “The Chairettes”, The Chair’s backing band. At one gig, the girls were asked to play a couple of sets on their own, and Bob Gibbon, The Chair’s Accordionist and Orkney Folk Festival director, suggested they form a new band. To the Chair’s disappointment they decided to loose the name, and Fara was born. Since then, the quartet has performed across the UK and Europe, including a special performance at the Royal Albert Hall for the Radio 2 Folk Awards, where they were also nominated in the Horizon category.

With vibrant arrangements full of rich harmonies, energetic fiddle playing and driving piano, Fara’s show is an exciting one. Performing a mixture of self-penned and traditional Orkney tunes as well as stunning vocals, the girls’ combined musical experiences and friendships produce a diverse, individual sound.

About Gathering Sparks

You will come to listen, and walk away singing. GATHERING SPARKS is the graceful collision of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis—musical friends who blend tight harmonies, finely crafted songs, and a love of participatory singing to create an intimate and uplifting experience. Their inclusive approach embraces folk, pop, blues and gospel influences tastefully played on acoustic guitar, piano, accordion, and ukulele.

With their infectious mix of styles and compelling vocal blend, Gathering Sparks has been making some big waves. Their debut 6-song CD was nominated for a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, and they have quickly become an audience favourite. Whether they are belting it out a capellastyle, tugging on your heartstrings with a folky original, crooning a jazzy swing tune, or getting into the spirit with a gospel-inflected singalong, Gathering Sparks performances make fans out of listeners with their stellar harmonies and fine musicianship.

Eve Goldberg has lifted audiences across North America with her heartfelt and insightful songs and solid instrumental work. Her fluid vocals embrace all the styles she loves—folk, blues, country, bluegrass, old time, and jazz—with equal affection and mastery.

Jane Lewis has followed her love of words from the printing press to the spotlight with soul-bending lyrics, transcendent compositions, and crystal clear vocals. Her thoughtful piano and accordion playing, mastery of harmony, and upbeat presence add a sparkle to any stage.

PFS June House Concert with Goodbye Blue

Potluck 2pm, Music 2:30pm

**FREE For Members**
**$10 For Non-members**

CLICK HERE TO WATCH GOODBYE BLUE PERFORM

About Goodbye Blue

Goodbye Blue is an Americana duo featuring Charlotte Kendrick and Dan Rowe. The duo performs melodic and personal Americana-Folk, reminiscent of story-telling artists such as Patty Griffin, John Prine, and the Weepies. Their most recent release, Worth the Wait, came out on March 21st, 2016 on Wondermore Records.

Lead singer and songwriter Charlotte was raised just north of New York City. She played music from an early age, and although enrolled in piano lessons originally, she quickly gravitated to acoustic guitar. Charlotte attended the University of Vermont where she played regularly and performed with a female a cappella group. By graduation, she wanted to pursue music professionally, but lost her nerve and decided instead to enlist in the Peace Corps, where she served for two years in Cote D’Ivore in West Africa. Living alone without electricity in a small village, Charlotte was finally able to find meaningful time to work on her songwriting.

Dan also grew up playing music. His early roots were in classical music, singing in his mother’s church choirs and studying violin, but country and bluegrass soon grabbed hold, and he would often sit in on fiddle when his father and uncles were jamming together. At age 12 rock music entered his life, and he started learning any instrument he could get his hands on. During his freshman year in high school, he and two childhood friends formed a band, The Dent, and ended up playing together for 15 years, performing throughout the Northeast and recording four albums. Dan studied music composition in college, and after graduation paid the bills by working in the music industry on the business side and engineering in recording studios in the New York area. By 2002, Dan was living in New York City and working at TVT Records during the day, while performing and producing independent records from his project studio on nights and weekends.

In 2002, after finishing her Peace Corps service, Charlotte moved to NYC intent on trying her hand as a musician. With no experience and no real connections, she reached out to her high school music teacher, who happened to be a relative of Dan’s. He told her “Call my friend Dan Rowe.” Dan and Charlotte became fast friends. Six months later, when Charlotte expressed interest in recording an album, Dan offered to help and signed on as producer. Together they produced Charlotte’s debut 2003 release, I Get Stupid. Three weeks before the album was finished, Dan joined Charlotte on stage playing bass and signing harmonies, and the two have been performing together ever since.

Charlotte and Dan’s musical relationship proved to be a powerful fit: Charlotte’s gentle but captivating voice complimented by Dan’s subtle harmony; Charlotte providing the center groove with her acoustic guitar, with Dan anchoring the ensemble with his bass and sparse arrangements; Charlotte’s female perspective articulated clearly in her lyrics, with Dan’s production delivering an authentic finished piece. After the debut release, Charlotte and Dan made two more records together, Live at the Roger Smith (2004) and I Get Stupid (2007). In 2004, they celebrated their wedding engagement by self-booking a 100 day national tour, and continued to tour extensively through the next five years, playing shows for fans across the country. But in 2008, life took a different turn when Charlotte gave birth to their first child, with two more following shortly behind. Although they never officially stopped playing music, their activity slowed to a crawl.

Fast forward eight years, Charlotte and Dan’s album “Worth the Wait” marks their re-emergence into Americana music. Now performing as Goodbye Blue and based in Hopewell, NJ, the current songs reflect a time of life that many can relate to. As in past material, Charlotte’s lyrics are autobiographical and unapologetic, describing the joy and struggles of raising small children. While unsure of what their future may hold, they know one thing is for certain: “We will definitely be making music,” says Charlotte. “Our lives just don’t make sense without it.”

CLICK HERE TO RSVP ON FACEBOOK

About Brooke Annibale

Singer-songwriter/guitarist Brooke Annibale sheds a bit of her indie-acoustic skin on her forthcoming record Hold to The Light— a pop-progressive album that offers a fusion of textured electronic and traditional (guitar, strings, keys) instrumentation with songs bearing Brooke’s keen, soulful lyricism.

Produced by Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter, Lake Street Dive), Hold to The Light marks several major departures for Brooke in terms of both songwriting and production. Brooke’s thoughtful, layered songwriting anchors the production to explore a range of narratives working through themes of seeking truths, letting go, and reconciling the past with the present. Both lyrically and musically, Hold opens up spaces for the listener to inhabit and make their own.

Hold to The Light is an exciting evolution in Brooke’s career as a musician. Her creative roots run deep with family connected to music— her grandfather founded a music store, which continues to operate today in her hometown, Pittsburgh. Hold to The Light is due out in 2018.
