Smooth harmonies and adventurous musicianship bring stellar arrangements to life and leave the listener anything but “blue”. Their newest release\, “Trouble With the Grey”\, produced and engineered by Bob Harris of Ampersand Records\, has received national radio airplay and enthusiastic reviews from Bluegrass Today and Bluegrass Unlimited. \nSeamlessly blending their vocals are guitarist Betsy Rome and banjoist Joan Harrison. Banjoist Joan Harrison brings a swingy bluegrass influenced feel to the set. Mandolin powerhouse Michael Sassano astounds and entertains\, while jazz bassist Jamie Doris brings a creative and unique perspective to the band.  Together\, Too Blue makes exciting bluegrass that swings and entertains.

SUMMARY:Cajun Dance Party with Cajun Surprise
DESCRIPTION:Cajun Dance Party with Cajun Surprise\nSaturday\, June 6\, 8 PM (Doors at 7 PM\, Dance lesson 7:30 PM)\nTickets: $20 (Kids under 13\, Free) \nCajun Surprise is an exciting acoustic project from Grammy-nominated Louisiana native Jean Bertrand (Pine Leaf Boys\, 99 Playboys) and Boston-based multi-instrumentalist Zach Meyer (Grain Thief\, The Talking Hearts\, Dumpster Debbie). \nDrawing on their deep knowledge of roots music without being confined by tradition\, Jean and Zach’s playful collaboration propels the Cajun genre in an unexpectedly delightful direction. With a repertoire spanning Balfa Brothers classics to obscure deep cuts to new originals\, Jean and Zach trade accordion\, guitar\, and vocal duties while occasionally adding in less traditional instruments such as clarinet\, harmonica\, and banjo. \nCajun Surprise debuted at Oldtone Roots Music Festival in the fall of 2024. Since then\, they’ve delighted New England audiences from dancehalls and dive bars to cozy house concerts and jam sessions. For this tour\, Cajun Surprise will be joined by Lafayette fiddler and vocalist Amy Scher\, who will lend her unique voice and add some honky tonk flair. \nJoin us for an intimate evening and a rollicking good time. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
