Ronny Cox & Jack Williams

Tuesday, September 28 at 7 pm.
$15 per ticket.

Ronny Cox charms crowds with self-teasing humor, tart progressive insight, and a lulling Southwestern folk sound. His repertoire is a smart mix of witty ditties, bluesy swing tunes, heart-on-sleeve romances, and real-life anthems ("It's a cry in the night/ It's a whispered prayer/ That gets you from here to there").

Jack Williams' music is rooted in his native South Carolina and is shaped by a long career playing folk, rock, jazz, R&B, classical and the popular music of the 30s, 40s and 50s. He is a unique guitarist, a writer of vivid songs with a strong sense of place, and a storyteller in an old Southern tradition. He has graced our stage before and wowed the audience with his wit as well as his original compositions and unique inerpretation of songs from the clasic traditional to the contemporary.
"..a gentle but compelling poetic and musical vision."
– Billboard Weather Report

A long time friend of the Inn and an occassional performer there, often as part of the Clancy Legacy, Aoife Clancy brings a refreshing new voice to folk music, one that ranges from traditional Irish songs to ballads and contemporary folk. Aoife comes from the small town of Carrick-on-Suir, in Co Tipperary, Ireland, where her musical career began at an early age. Her father Bobby Clancy of the legendary Clancy Brothers, placed a guitar in her hands at age ten, and by age fourteen she was playing with her father in nearby pubs. She has shared the stage with some of Ireland's greatest performers, including Christy Moore and the Furey Brothers and the Clancy Brothers and been part of the acclaimed group Cherish the Ladies.

Mark T. Small and Friends

Sunday, November 7 at 4pm.
$15 per ticket.

This concert will be an in and out, round about, all star tour of the Blues. Years ago, Bluesman Mark T. Small and his friends founded an organization called The Hipty Dipty Blues Society. There are about 15 official members who have dedicated their lives to the blues. If you saw any of the members individually, in a club or gathering, one thing is certain—you did not hear a single pop song. The Hipty Dipty's play the blues—period. Additionally, each member is a student of the blues. Look forward to hearing about the history behind the music and how it has shaped every single form of American music. "The Blues is the roots and everything else is the fruits," as Willie Dixon once said. This show is for the ear and mind. Each member will play a short solo set and will discuss their musical influences and they will all jam together at the end of the show.

Performers will include some of the best blues players in New England including Monica Ambroziak, Barry Brown, Russ Mello, Ross Robinson, Walter Woods, Pierre (P Moka Dee) Patry, Mark Greenbaum, Big Bill and Ellie Mae and others. Keep your eyes open for the Monkey—he goes to every meeting!
