7:30 PM Duo Orfeo
Duo Orfeo brings to life a world of sound that is intimate, charming, subtle and haunting. Embracing a repertoire of compositions from largely forgotten byways of western musical tradition both past
and present, and approaching this rare and diverse music through the medium of the classical guitar, Duo Orfeo creates performances andrecordings that composer David Macbride has described as "the
embodiment of grace and beauty."
Since beginning their collaboration in 2005, Joseph Ricker and Jamie Balmer have released two recordings and performed throughout New England and New York City. Their Lily Pad set will feature music of Mompou, Lhoyer, Bach, Couperin, and a few surprises.

10:00 PM Pearl and the Beard and Gem Club
Pearl and the Beard is three voices, one cello, one guitar, one glockenspiel, one melodica, several drums, one accordion, ninety-six teeth, and one soul.
Former strangers Jocelyn Mackenzie, Emily Hope Price, and Jeremy Styles were united in the great city of New York. Each had migrated there from a far corner of the nation with naught but food in their pockets and money in their bellies. Each had the same true love. Since then the three have nested, and their unique brand of brightly melodic songcraft continues to blossom of its own accord.
Pearl and the Beard loves you the way you've always been.
Pearl and the Beard create the kind of heartwarming music that makes the bitter winter months bearable. The soulful folk trio’s energetic output envelopes the listener with whimsical, uplifting joy. Without a wave of distortion, pristine voices are free to entwine with a hearty collage of organic instrumentation. The spirited vocal harmonies tantalize the senses with the playful interaction between male and female voices."
