[FM] Houseconcert in Franklin, Ma on 12/10 with Thompsons and Rob Laurens

[Barry Kasindorf]

Hi,
The next concert in the Franklin House concert series in Franklin, Ma is this Sunday at 6:00PM with Chris & Meredith Thompson and Ron Laurens.

Chris & Meredith Thompson were nominated "Best Acoustic Act” (Providence Phoenix, April, 1998), and finalists in the Lilith Fair Talent
Search for New York City. They are one of the most enchanting acts in today's acoustic/folk scene. The Thompsons are "powerful
performers with a natural warmth for the live concert stage" (Tom Lounges, the Beat). 

Best known for the unique blend of their nearly identical voices, the Thompsons weave vocals, flute, guitar and percussion to create a sound
that is beautiful, powerful and ultimately compelling. They link music and stories together to create an engaging animated performance that
captivates audiences 

Rob Laurens is a great contemporary songwriter and who demonstrates a clear knowledge, love, and respect for the tradition of the folk
ballad within his art. He manages to transport us back to ballads past while holding our attention within a framework of contemporary sound. 
             - Ellis Paul 

Rob Laurens has won the New Folk Award for Songwriting at both the Kerrville Folk Festival and The Columbia River Folk Festival. He has
returned to play the main stage at these and many other festivals. He has spent time learning folk music from Appalachian fiddle and banjo
players, blues guitarists, and from recordings at the Library of Congress. Combined with his appreciation of the poetry and myth of American
folk song, he has developed to "the rare ability to write songs that seem like they've always been there".
