Front Country in Concert

  • Ridgefield Library 472 Main Street Ridgefield, CT, 06877 United States (map)

Join us for an afternoon of music with the band Front Country.

What started as a group of friends playing bluegrass in San Francisco's Mission District has morphed into a touring powerhouse of song and sound, transcending their humble stringband roots. Front Country's dynamic instrumental textures take flight with grace and gravitas while rooted in the relentlessly soulful vocals of lead singer-songwriter Melody Walker. Along with mandolinist Adam Roszkiewicz, guitarist Jacob Groopman, violinist Leif Karlstrom and bassist Jeremy Darrow, this quintet has been called "passionately intoxicating" and "orchestral" and Melody's bluesy vocals have been described as "rafter-shaking”. 

The concert is free thanks to the Friends of the Library.  Tickets can be picked up on the day of the show from 1 PM onwards.  Doors open at 1:30 and the show starts at 2 PM.
