MARLBORO-The Marlboro Community Center, 524 South Rd., invites everyone to a benefit concert with Andy Davis on Friday, April 4, at 6:30 p.m.
Brattleboro's Andy Davis will share his original songs and tunes, written in a traditional and participatory style.
"After teaching music in the public schools of Windham County for over 30 years, I find myself drawn to songwriting," Davis said in a news release.
"Each song contains a chorus or refrain. The songs are drawn from local history, personal experience, and heartfelt memory. They speak of life in New England, interesting characters, dear friends and family, philosophical musings, and an occasional political or environmental commentary."
He says calling and playing for community dances "has kept me in touch with traditional music and its place in community life."
The local (Brattleboro) pub sings have inspired him to create songs that "tell stories while opening a space for improvised harmony each time the chorus rolls around," he says. He also includes original dance tunes in his performances, "all with a story or memory to relate."
There is a suggested donation of $15 per person or $35 per family. Cookies and beverages will be served.
