Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road-dog, raconteur, and almost-poet since before he can remember. In 1989 he spent a year in Ireland, busking on the streets of Dublin and hitchhiking to whatever gigs he could find. Back stateside, he spent a couple years gigging through the bars of his native Midwest before taking off for Boston, where he returned to subway busking and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows, which eventually led to regional and then national touring. The wheels have not stopped since. Twenty albums, one illustrated book, thousands of live performances, a TEDx talk, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp, opening tours and gigs for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco, Greg Brown, Emmylou Harris and Chuck Prophet, appearances on NPR, an annual autumn tour by bicycle, emceeing festivals, hosting his own Lamplighter Sessions for years in Boston and in Wisconsin... he has built his life's work on collaboration, on an instinct for the eclectic and the vital.
McGettigan is a singer-songwriter that composes songs of love, life, and humor. Her song “A Place in the Woods” was recorded by Canadian artist Lucie Blue Tremblay on her album Transformations. As a NH native she is well known as a folk artist but also has a flair for rock and jazz.
Gilbert has a long musical background in many different genres. Based just north of Boston he has been a New England staple as a local guitarist known for blending superb guitar technique with thoughtful interpretation. When teamed up together this duo has their own unique sound and puts a twist on cover tunes while creating new originals for upcoming performances.
Doors are at 7pm and music will begin at 730. Seating is first come first served. Tickets are $25 in advance and $28 day of the show.
