PUTNEY — Twilight Music continues its 16th annual Twilight On The Tavern Lawn series of folk rock, world beat, rock, country, pop, Celtic, blues, and bluegrass summer concerts on Sunday, July 1, with The Gaslight Tinkers.
The Gaslight Tinkers play a blend of African, Caribbean, funk, reggae, and Latin rhythms, creating “a joyously danceable sound around a core of traditional roots, New England old time and Celtic fiddle music,” according to a news release, with Audrey Knuth (fiddle), Jopey Fitzpatrick (drums), Garrett Sawyer (bass), and Peter Siegel (guitar).
Since its formation in 2012, the band has lit up the East Coast, the West Coast, and the Caribbean, headlining clubs, dances, and major festivals. In April, 2016, the Tinkers toured Trinidad, appearing on national TV as a genre-bending calypso band and broadening the perception of Caribbean music in the process.
Most recently, The Gaslight Tinkers have graced stages at the Green River, Old Songs, Falcon Ridge, and Wormtown festivals and at notable venues such as The Iron Horse, The Parlor Room, and Caffe Lena.
The seven-concert series continues every other Sunday through Aug. 26. All concerts begin at 6 p.m. in downtown Putney on the Putney Tavern lawn (bring a lawn chair or blanket) or at Next Stage at 15 Kimball Hill in case of rain. The concerts are free to the public (donations are accepted) and food will be available.
