Bring a picnic, lawn chairs, hats, sunscreen…
whatever one needs to sit on the lawn and enjoy the music.

Northern Lights, the Northeast's superlative veteran string band, don’t qualify as typical traditionalist. But in three decades the band has created its own tradition - a constant exploration of new musical territory without ever losing its acoustic and vocal bearings. From 1990's "Take You to the Sky," to 2005's "New Moon" (Fifty-Fifty Music), the band has fused an eclectic mix of traditional roots music, rock, country, soul and gospel with the high, lonesome vocal sound and instruments of bluegrass.

The late Vassar Clements occasionally joined them on fiddle, and Jonathan Edwards still does for full sets. They have performed at the Newport Folk Festival, Barns at Wolf Trap, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Festival sur la Route de Tullins, Strawberry Music Festival, and the American Folklife Center. They have recorded 10 albums, including “Three August Nights”, a live CD with Vassar Clements, and three of their CDs reached the top ten of Bluegrass Unlimited’s National Bluegrass Survey.

House Concerts build strong friendships between musicians, presenters, and listeners. Most importantly, House Concerts provide the most intimate and compelling performance environment available. - Darryl Purpose
