Memories of years gone by will ring out when EC and The Moonshiners take the stage at Franklin Opera House for two shows on Friday, June 7.

This is the second annual Seniors Show, sponsored jointly by The Golden Crest, The New Hampshire Veterans Home, and The Peabody Home, scheduled for 2 PM and 7:30 PM. Each show will feature special wheelchair seating and ticket pricing to accommodate area seniors, reflecting the Opera House’s commitment to the area’s elder community.

EC and The Moonshiners are led by Ellen Carlson, the premiere fiddler in the Lakes Region, who will be joined by the likes of Brendan Dowd, Rob Kneeland, and Jim Prendergast, whose guitar work has been featured on many country music albums over the years and who has appeared from here to Nashville and back again.

These two performances will also feature guests Joe DeLault and Lee Ames, familiar names to music fans everywhere.

The music can be described as “old-time country” or “Texas swing,” bringing back memories of Gene Autry, the ’40s, and 78 RPM records. The artistry of EC and The Moonshiners, however, gives those old songs new life; if they were classics then, they become quintessential classics in the hands of these fine musicians.

EC and The Moonshiners will bring back memories and make you want to get up and dance, sing along, applaud, and cheer. It is a show not to be missed, so don’t miss it!

Tickets are available online at FranklinOperaHouse.org or by calling the Opera House at 934-1901. The box office is open daily from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Franklin Opera House, the Lakes Region’s destination for great live music, is located in Franklin City Hall at 316 Central Street, just down the street from Grevior’s Furniture, and there is always free parking.
