Sam Robbins

Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A young New England based, nationally touring musician whose music evokes classic singer songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive national touring, from sharing the stage with artists like Jason Mraz and David Wilcox, and as a main stage performer at national festivals like the Kerrville, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals. His fine guitar finger-picking and evocative songs complement his warm voice and charismatic performances.
In mid-November, Sam was announced as one of only 6 nominees for Artist of the Year in the 2026 International Folk Music Awards! Win or lose, that's an outstanding recommendation. Highly recommended as someone going places!

Tracy Grammer

Join us for an extraordinary night with Tracy Grammer, one of contemporary folk music’s most beloved voices. Widely acclaimed for her exquisite storytelling and masterful guitar and violin musicianship, Tracy has captivated audiences across the country with her soulful singing and virtuoso fiddle and guitar playing. Her rich catalog features both original songs and the timeless works of her late musical partner, Dave Carter, making every performance a celebration of poignant lyrics and stirring melodies.
Grammer has recorded and performed with Joan Baez (who called her “a brilliant artist”) and Mary Chapin Carpenter, headlined major folk festivals like the Philadelphia Folk Festival and Falcon Ridge, and spent 12 consecutive years among folk radio's 50 top-played artists, both solo and with Dave Carter.
Tracy’s warm stage presence and heartfelt delivery promise an intimate and moving concert experience. Don’t miss your chance to share in an evening of unforgettable songs, powerful stories, and the artistry of one of folk music’s true treasures, last here as our 3rd show in fall, 2016.

Miles & Mafale

Catherine Miles and Jay Mafale — husband and wife, co-conspirators, storytellers. They are two scoops of modern folk with a sprinkling of pop-catchiness, topped off with the wit and flair that comes from their theater backgrounds. Catherine’s voice is an expressive powerhouse. Jay’s guitar is distinctive and unconventional. They are known for the poetry, clever humor, and unique perspectives of their songs. Miles & Mafale aim to shift points of view through themes of perseverance, hope, and strength of spirit.
Their diverse influences and initial decade of performing cover songs (in their own group and as sidemen) gives them a tremendous “palette” to draw from. Miles & Mafale blend all of that together into their own candid and playful style.  Audiences first came to know Catherine and Jay as a trio, The YaYas, with piano man Paul Silverman, and later touring the country with Karyn Oliver and Carolann Solebello as No Fuss and Feathers (who appeared here in spring, 2018).
Miles & Mafale’s songwriting has earned them acclaim in listening rooms and festivals nationwide, along with recognition as Most Wanted Emerging Artists at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and three-time Kerrville New Folk finalists. The duo’s latest release, Be Brave, is “Beautifully made. An articulate page-turner of an album that feels like a short story collection in 10 songs.” Marilyn Rea Beyer, WFMT Chicago.
