SUMMARY:Friends of Folk Concert Series: Ampersand\, Stella Prince
DESCRIPTION:Opening the evening will be Nashville-based singer songwriter Stella Prince. Shaping her emotions into powerful songs and performances that put her visceral voice at center stage\, Stella Prince has forged her own genre. Her Gen Z folk has earned her sold-out shows across North America and Europe\, history-making Nashville performances at AMERICANAFEST and Tin Pan South\, and a #1 on the Official Folk Charts. She is a winner of the 2023 Folk Alliance First Timers Scholarship and finalist for the 2024 John Cirillo Songwriting Award. \nLearn more about Stella Prince on her website. \nAmpersand interprets music from the folk and old-time American traditions on modern instruments with treasured songs and lively instrumentals\, finding great joy in bringing this music to modern ears. The core of Ampersand is Beth Lawton and Dick Hogle\, whose duo work shines with the spark of vocal harmonies and a shared musical sensibility. The Ampersand name is particularly appropriate since the whole of this group is definitely more than the sum of its parts. Band manager and mother hen\, Beth incorporates a wide range of vocal styles to her music\, adding harmonies that range from sultry to playful. Guitar\, hammered dulcimer\, and occasionally banjo or mountain dulcimer are her instruments of choice. Bringing a warm bluesy style to the group\, Dick offers guitar leads\, a strong baritone voice\, and more recently\, mandolin leads and banjo pickin’ to the mix. Topher Lawton’s mellow baritone voice and foot-stompin’ bones-playing add a depth to all the gigs he joins in on. Topher’s specialty is early music\, including shape note singing\, but he is willing to play “modern” colonial-era tunes when need be. Cello\, bouzouki\, and penny whistles round out his offerings. Eastern Shore musician Dave Moore brings guitar\, harmonica\, banjo\, and bass to the group\, adding his voice to the rich harmonies. \nLearn more about Ampersand on their website.

SUMMARY:Friends of Folk Concert Series: Bryan & the Barn Owls
DESCRIPTION:Born into a family with a deep love of music\, Bryan was quickly drawn into the art. Bryan’s first guitar was a flamenco guitar handed down from his uncle. As he moved in and out of various bands through high school/college\, Bryan developed a unique songwriting style derived from his many influences\, including John Denver\, Johnny Cash and Jim Croce. He also gained experience as a composer\, thus mastering the song process from start to finish. After a year studying music in Los Angeles\, Bryan returned to his home state of Delaware in late 2012 to start his journey as a solo artist. He draws his inspiration from America’s landscape\, his personal journey as an artist and events in history. Since 2014 he has released 4 albums\, got nominated for “Best Local Artist” award in 2016 & won Delaware Todays “Best Local Artist downstate” award in 2021. In 2018\, Bryan started “Bryan & The Barn Owls” to further develop his sound. Why “Barn Owls” you may ask? The name was chosen because Bryan believed when one thinks of barns\, they think of rustic Americana & when one thinks of Owls\, they think of creatures thriving in the night. In that logic\, Barn Owls seemed to encapsulate the vision! Backed by John Heinz on fiddle and Phinex Diego on upright bass\, the Barn Owls deliver a true sample of the American countryside. \nLearn more on their website.
