10/18 Sunday
2:00 PM Birdsong At Morning
Birdsong At Morning is a new chamber-folk ensemble led by Alan Williams (formerly of Knots and Crosses). Alan's compatriots include Greg Porter (formerly with Talking To Animals) and Darleen Wilson (producer of Catie Curtis, Chris Smither, Cry Cry Cry, Patty Larkin). For the Lily Pad shows, the trio will include drums and a string quartet to recreate the sound of their records. Their first release, Bound, was hailed as an "exquisite debut" in Performing Songwriter. The Sundays at Lily Pad residency celebrates the release of their second recording, Heavens. The music is detailed, lush, romantic yet emotionally direct. The eight musicians will create a beautiful, warm world to envelope the audience - come in from the autumn chill!
