Jeff Warner: Banjos, Bones, and Ballads

A presentation about traditional music

By Suzy Norris, Andover Historical Society

On Thursday, June 26, at 7 PM at the Highland Lake Grange Hall, the Andover Historical Society and the New Hampshire Council on the Humanities will host its first program of the year: Jeff Warner and his presentation “Banjos, Bones, and Ballads.” The evening’s entertainment is free and open to everyone.

Jeff is one of the foremost interpreters of traditional music. He has performed widely and plays the concertina, banjo, guitar, and small pocket instruments including bones and spoons. “He inhabits a song in a way few singers can do,” says the Royal Oak Falls Folk Club in Lewes, UK.

Highlighting this program are tavern songs, banjo tunes, New England hymns, sailor songs, and humorous stories about traditional singers and their songs.

Please join us for what promises to be a wonderful evening. Refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Suzy Norris at 735-5369.
