Friends of Folk Concert: Ampersand

Overview

Easton-based folk and traditional string band Ampersand brings guitars, banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, cello, penny whistles, and percussion to underscore four-part harmonies and great joy in presenting tunes and songs from the colonial era through the 19th century, blues of the 1920s and 30s, on up to modern folk music.

This group serves up a love of history through their music, and are happy when audience members sing along, ask questions, or come up afterwards to try out one of the instruments. Favorite venues include regional and national historic sites, farmers markets, folk festivals, and private events. www.ampersandmusic.org
