Clark controls the B3 like a master: hip bass lines\, sizzling chordal washes\, feel-good riffs\, funky blues lines and syncopated accents figure in the mix. The groove\, the sonic power of the organ and a soulful message are a forceful combination for reaching the people\, all the way from the church to the dance floor. Can’t beat the feeling.” ~ Owen Cordle\, Jazz Times \n“You might be skeptical about listening to a CD without a bass player\, but from the opening bars of the first track\, school is in session! Organist Ken Clark has a punchy\, thick bass tone that rivals Rocco’s\, and he grooves like a funky S.O.B. His right hand is pretty happening\, too. A must hear for fans of jazzy\, funky groove music.” ~ Bass Player Magazine \nGet TicketsBACK TO ALL EVENTS

SUMMARY:Marsh Lights\, an Acoustic Project

Please Register below–registration appreciated but not required. \nVermont musician Colby Crehan\, former vocalist and songwriter for the Bluegrass Gospel Project and Possum Haw\, reunites with her Possum Haw bandmates in the 5-piece acoustic project Marsh Lights. \nMarsh Lights plays acoustic folk-grass music. The program features songs composed by Crehan. “Colby Crehan is a powerful and magnificently talented musician.”–– Robert Resnik\, host\, All the Traditions\, Vermont Public Radio. \nMarsh Lights’ songs explore bravery\, darkness\, spirituality\, and grace with lyrics that often employ metaphoric places and female heroes and perspectives. And Marsh Lights pulls from the old songbook of PossumHaw\, particularly the songs found on their last recording\, the live 2017 album Limberpine. The band also plays instrumentals written by banjoist Ryan Crehan and mandolinist Stephen Waud. Charley Eiseman’s warm vocals join Colby and Ryan’s for hauntingly sweet three-part harmonies. Charley plays lead acoustic guitar with nuanced blues and jazz inflections. Mitch Barron\, a long-time essential presence in the Vermont folk music scene\, brings his skilled upright bass playing to the stage\, along with deep\, rich vocal backup. \nVermont Vocalist of the Year\nVermont Song of the Year\nFormer members of PossumHaw and The Bluegrass Gospel Project\n“The combination of talent\, passion\, and songwriting in the band is breathtaking.”\n– Mary-Nell Bockman\, Whallonsburg Grange \nRegisterBACK TO ALL EVENTS
