How Sweet It Is! Northampton
Tonight’s Concert is ON! ON!! ON!!!
Note: ADVANCE TICKETS ARE CLOSED BUT THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR. See you soon!
How Sweet It Is: a Benefit Singalong Concert with Annie Patterson & friends.
Join Annie in singing along on "Great American Songbook" standards like "Blue Skies" and "Our Love is Here to Stay", Broadway show tunes, Motown hits, and folk favorites.
This is a great chance to celebrate love and hope - and to stengthen the bonds of community and resilience among us in these challenging times - and to support the new Resistance Center for Peace & Justice www.theresistancecenter.org/.
Annie is the co-creator (with her husband Peter Blood) of the well-loved songbooks Rise Up Singing and its sequel Rise Again.
She will be joined by bassist and jazz vocalist, Mary Witt of The O-tones. Annie sings on several tracks of Mary's highly-regarded "Groove Duets" CD.
Also joining in will be Jim Henry on guitar, mandolin and dobro. Jim performs with a wide range of musicians including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Alison Krauss, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Los Lobos among many others. www.jimhenry.net/
