MARCH
Anne & Pete Sibley Originally from New England, the Sibleys have been at home in the Rocky Mountain West since 1999. Singing for as long as they can remember, Anne & Pete have come many miles from their classical music training to “the people’s music:” folk, bluegrass and traditional music. Using the guitar and clawhammer banjo to accompany their tight harmonies, the Sibleys tell stories about life and love as they see it, and it is this quality that rings true with audiences from coast to coast. Anne & Pete’s music highlights their connection with the landscape, community, family, and even the food they grow and eat. Less than a decade since they released their first album, the Sibleys’ music hit the national spotlight in 2009 with a blue ribbon finish in the “Great American Duet Sing Off” on National Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion. Last summer, the couple released their fourth and most critically-acclaimed CD, Coming Home. Prior releases are Will You Walk With Me (2005),Winter on the Great Divide (2007) and Think of This River (2004). anneandpetesibley.com “One of the sweetest, most soulful and hauntingly beautiful duets in the business.” --Bluegrass Now Magazine Advance/member tickets $15 available at Briar Patch & Mother Trucker’s; $18 at the door	Saturday, March 10th, 7:30 pm
Jayme Stone's Room of Wonders Two-time Juno-winning banjoist Jayme Stone makes music inspired by traditions from around the world, bridging folk, jazz, chamber and world music. His latest album, Room of Wonders, explores music from Norway, Sweden, Bulgaria, Brazil, Italy and North America. The repertoire includes a movement from Bach?s French Suite, a Moorish sword-fighting dance and Stone?s lush, edgy originals. Stone will be touring with three extraordinary musicians: world-wise Sandra Wong on the nyckelharpa, a resonant swedish keyed fiddle. Andrew Small, a classically-trained bassist who has played with Symphony Augusta and is currently finishing his Master's degree in performance at the Yale School of Music. Nick Fraser, an ever-creative and versatile drummer and composer from Toronto. www.jaymestone.com "The music is as spirited as its creator. It’s hard to imagine a room large enough to contain the talent that went into its making, or the varied sounds it surveys." --Georgia Straight   Advance/member tickets $15 available at Briar Patch & Mother Trucker’s; $18 at the door	Wednesday, March 14th, 7:30pm
