BRATTLEBORO-On Sunday, April 25, at 4 p.m., Under the Maple presents a return performance by Dear Ella, a trio from western Massachusetts comprised of Annie Patterson, Mary Witt, and Ann Percival. Their repertoire includes a mix of folk, blues, swing, and gospel with three-part harmony, guitar, ukulele, banjo, bass, and snare drum.
“Dear Ella love singing about themes of love and peace and social justice,” wrote organizers in a news release. “The band’s name, inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, is a nod to the many women singers who have inspired them.” Trio members have been singing in harmony their whole lives, said organizers.
Organizers invite audiences to come sing with them, dance to their songs, and “enjoy their uplifting and beautiful harmonies.”
There is a suggested donation of $20–$30 at the door, which all goes to the performers, but any amount is welcome. To reserve a seat, email BrattleboroHouseConcerts@gmail.com.
