John Lomax III Concert
May 4 @ 6:30 am - 8:00 am
$20
John Lomax III of America’s mulit-generation folk music family brings his Lomax on Lomax presentation to Vermont for his New England debut.
Prodigiously talented fiddle legend John Specker and his gifted daughters Ida Mae and Lila (The Speckers) will open the show at the Brick Meeting House.
Local resident George Alexander is promoting this one-of-a-kind event. Alexander says, “Growing up, some of the favorite songs in my grammar school songbook were ‘Home On The Range,’ ‘Red River Valley’ and ‘Streets of Laredo.’ I was amazed to meet the Lomax family after moving to Houston, Texas and learning that their efforts had preserved those folk songs for us. Bringing this show to my new home town of Grafton is a real joy.”
The Speckers and their triple fiddle performance will kick off the proceedings at 6:30 p.m. with Lomax following after a brief intermission.
Tickets are $20 and are available at the door on the evening of the performnace.
