[FM] HOUSE CONCERT: LORI MCKENNA w/Kevin Briody, Grassy Hill (Lyme CT) Sun 1/28 3pm

[Tom Neff]

Hey f_m friends -

There are still seats available for this Sunday afternoon's Grassy Hill 
House Concert in beautiful Lyme, CT, featuring Boston sensation LORI 
MCKENNA with special guest KEVIN BRIODY in our special "Pregame Show." :)

Lori McKenna hails from Massachusetts's South Shore and has taken the 
Northeast folk world by storm in the last few years, with her album PAPER 
WINGS AND HALO pronounced one of the best debuts since Dar Williams. Lori's 
distinctive voice and affecting lyrics seem to have an almost hypnotic 
effect on her listeners: if you weren't a fan walking in the door, you're 
gonna be one when you leave, especially in our intimate 1750 farmhouse with 
its near-perfect acoustics.

Connecticut's own Kevin Briody has travelled from his front porch in 
Ridgefield to perform at some of the biggest folk festivals in America, 
including Kerrville and Falcon Ridge, and big clubs and famous 
coffeehouses, but we're excited to have him visit Grassy Hill for the first 
time, where his easy sound and incisive songwriting can fill the room.

It's gonna be a great show, and you'll make it home for kickoff with time 
to spare.  Music begins at 3pm, but come early at 2:30 for a coffee and 
dessert reception (no nachos or popcorn, you'll want to leave room for 
those later!), and if weather permits, a peek at our new Performance Barn 
which opens in May - you'll be amazed.  The suggested donation is $12 which 
all goes to the performers.

For reservations and directions, call us at 860-434-8208 (press 3) or send 
email to info@grassyhill.org .  We are nonsmoking and we welcome 
well-behaved kids.  No pygmy hedgehogs please.
