The end-of-year fundraising campaign by the Friends of the Capital City Grange Hall brought generous contributions to help support the Grange while rentals can’t be allowed.The online concert is part of how the Friends are saying THANKS!
All you need to do to get connected is to send an email to fccghvt@gmail.com, and we’ll send you the Zoom link. See below for YouTube and Facebook live-streams for the music!
Starting at 7:30, you’ll have a chance to connect directly with other folks who are attending, using Zoom breakout rooms! Tell all your friends to join too! There will be more socializing after the music!
From 8:00 to 9:00, local musicians will perform; all of them are regulars at the contra dances held at the Grange.- Aaron Marcus Montpelier-based piano, keyboard, accordion and banjo player will play for you.
- Joanne Garton, also a Montpelier resident, plays fiddle–and may do some Scottish dancing! Joanne & Aaron often play together, as The Turning Stile.
- Jaige Trudell & Adam Broome, Quebec residents, will send pre-recorded performances. Jaige’s fiddle and Adam’s guitar and jaw-harp are also dance favorites at the Grange, where they perform as Maivish! We may or may not get a glimpse of their son Aubrey, visible (in his younger years) on Jaige’s back in the photo below.
