April 5 – Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen

Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen, each well-known and beloved in the folk music world, have joined musical forces in a new duo. Cindy is a highly respected singer, songwriter and guitarist. Grey is a singer and multi-instrumentalist, known as one of America’s finest players of the Irish flute and tin whistle. Their repertoire features Cindy’s inspiring and deeply personal original songs, along with distinctive settings of traditional Irish music, Scandinavian fiddle duets, old-time fiddle and guitar tunes, and new music that Cindy and Grey are inventing together. Their music is deeply rooted in tradition, interwoven with the renais-sance and baroque counterpoint in which both were immersed while growing up. They blend voices and instruments, including guitar, Irish flute, alto flute, tin whistle, concertina, harmo-nium, and fiddle, adding stories and anecdotes that put the music into a personal context. Come and share the new energy of spring with this wonderful duo. www.kalletlarsen.com

April 19 – Kimberley Fraser and Troy MacGillivray

Kimberley Fraser and Troy MacGillivray return this year to entertain us with traditional music from Cape Breton and Nova Scotia. Both are young yet seasoned performers. Although still in her early twenties, Kimberley has already managed to tour North America and Europe to become “one of the stellar players of the Cape Breton fiddle tradition” (Cape Breton Post). A master at the “Cape Breton trifecta” (fiddle, stepdancing, and piano), she was also the pianist for the acclaimed Irish group “Cherish the Ladies” when they toured Sweden in 2004. Troy’s prodigious talents are influenced by the Celtic music of his Highland ancestors as well as years of orchestral experience and conservatory studies. After winning Instrumental Recording of 2008 at Canada’s East Coast awards, Troy’s

newest album, “When Here Meets There,” has just been nominated for two East Coast awards. In performance, his toe-tapping energy evokes the best of both ceilidh and concert. We look forward to an evening of invigorating tunes as these award winners pair up. www.myspace.com/kimberleyfraser and www.troymacgillivray.com

May 3 – Joel Mabus

Joel Mabus has split his 35-year career in folk music between the traditional and the original. He last performed here nearly a decade ago, and we welcome the return of his down-to-earth blend of song and in-strumental wizardry. Bluegrass, old-timey, country and Celtic styles figure prominently in his repertoire, gained from a lifetime of experience making music with his family and learning licks from top recording artists. He plays both fingerstyle and flatpicking guitar, as well as fiddle, mandolin and banjo. As well as his extraordinary instrumental abilities, he is known for his “straight from the meadow” voice and his mischievous sense of humor which shows in his original material and witty adaptations of traditional songs. His albums have been climbing the folk charts, with the most recent, “Retold,” reaching #4 in 2008. As the San Francisco Folknik says, “This guy does it all… with skill and flair: dazzling picking, good singing - just fine music.” www.joelmabus.com

From the President

Dear WHFMS members,

As I write, sun is sparkling off the frozen snow from what I sincerely hope to be the last big storm of the season. It’s been a long winter in many ways. We’ve had snow on snow, along with solid ice that added more than enough adventure to our lives. In the midst of this we were drawn into the political excitement of the elec-tion, a historic milestone by any definition. And in the center of our little village we’ve been dealing with another adventure, as Woods Hole’s crumbling drawbridge is at last being replaced. This season we’ve driven detours around Eel Pond, traipsed across the footbridge in icy wind and freezing rain, hauled equipment from vehicles wedged between trucks and cranes, and even puzzled over where to put our outside sign as construction shifted ever closer. In November the other shoe dropped: bridge work compromised the foundation of Community Hall, closing it for over a month. This provided further opportunities for ingenuity and teamwork, and WHFMS rose to the challenge. We held concerts at the Oceanographic Institute’s Redfield Auditorium, put out publicity alerts, called our friends, and generally improvised. Like the Community Association and Woods Hole itself we pulled together, and we will continue to do so. We all hope that construction is completed on schedule, and that final repairs will restore and even improve our beloved Community Hall. This beautiful building has anchored the village since 1878 and continues to provide the best possible setting for folk concerts, with its wooden-ship intimacy, fine acoustics, and abiding feeling of community. It will survive, and so will we.

WHFMS thanks you, our members, for your continuing support and patience. Special thanks go to our hardworking volunteers: Clyde Tyndale, booking coordinator and light & sound engineer; Bob Sabin & Deborah Winograd, admissions; Bill Goranson and setup crew, including John O’Callaghan, Cy Kano, Tim Radford, Linda Nelson, Bob and Peggy Sabin, Don & Sandy Abt, and others; Deborah Siegal, emcee; Deborah Winograd, CD sales; Anneke Verhave, hospitality and refreshments, and her crew including Judy McAlister, Peg Sabin, Arden Edwards, Sandy Abt, and Sarah Edick, assisted by Bill Goranson, John O’Callaghan & others. We miss Nancy Goranson so very much. Beyond concert setup, we thank Marty Tulloch, membership & publicity chair; Dorene Sykes, press coordinator; Jan Elliott, press writer; Janet & Steve Chalmers, newsletter editors; Jacki Forbes, web weaver; many poster hangers all over town; those who help with miscellaneous tasks from housing performers to moving pianos; and our Board of Directors: Don Abt, Clyde Tyndale, Linda Nelson, Anneke Verhave, David Dow, Bob Sabin (treasurer), Deborah Winograd (secretary), and Marty Tulloch (past president).
