Bernice Lewis in concert


May 9, 2014

A fixture on the coffeehouse circuit, contemporary-folk radio, and at major folk festivals, Lewis -- who studied vocal improvisation with Bobby McFerrin and guitar technique with Alex DeGrassi and Guy van Duser – has been a featured performer on National Public Radio's "Mountain Stage" program and a finalist in the 1987 New Folk Songwriting Contest at the prestigious Kerrville (Texas) Folk Festival. Her new ballad, "Bridges That Hold," was included in the PBS-TV "Lifelines" documentary starring Peter, Paul and Mary. She sings from a woman's perspective with wit and eloquence in distinctive, powerful vocals that have been described as "utterly and uniquely her own." Join us for an evening of folk music with this acclaimed Berkshire musician. Free and open to the public - donations appreciated.
