The Folk Show Folk Show was an incredible evening of music and laughter with three of the folk community's finest. Vance Gilbert dazzled us with his sparkling red shoes and his warm wit and soulful tones. Vance's voice carries with such strength that I believe he could have done a whole show without a mic. Cliff Eberhardt is a real guitar master - I sat next to Cliff on the stage. It was nearly impossible to sit still during his guitar breaks. And I've been a fan of Catie Curtis since the first time I saw her at a Women's Festival at a ski area many years ago. She blew me away then and she continues to blow me away with her conviction, heart and truth.

It was great seeing old friends. Folks from the Monadnock Folklore Society, Peterborough Folk Music Society along with other familiar faces from other shows I've been to filled the rows for this Earth Day concert.

Thanks to Cliff, Catie and Vance for a stellar evening at The Colonial Theater and for your support for folk music at New Hampshire Public Radio.
