WESTON, Vt. – Little Yellow House Studio, Old Parish Church, and Wilder Memorial Library present “A Midwinter Afternoon with In the Rough,” a concert featuring the vocal trio In the Rough (Lisa Brigantino, Lori Brigantino, and Andover, Vt., resident Susan Haefner) on Sunday, Feb. 15, at 3 p.m., at the Old Parish Church in Weston, Vt. The concert will include traditional and contemporary folk songs, old-time tunes, as well as original songs, and even a sing-along.
This concert is part of a midwinter minitour, including a Feb. 12 appearance at The Lovin’ Cup in Rochester, N.Y., and a private house concert in Rochester on Feb. 13.
In the Rough has been singing their unique brand and blend of three-part harmony – accompanying themselves with a number of different instruments, including guitars, ukulele, accordion, percussion, and more – since their days as students together at the State University of New York College at Fredonia. The trio has also appeared on all three of Lisa Brigantino’s commercially released original music albums. “Harmonious, melodic, smooth, bluesy, funky, rootsy,” says Pull Press. “Rootsy folk musing with the refreshing warmth of a well-recorded acoustic guitar, and crystalline vocal harmonies that sound like angels tapping in on a radio signal,” says Listen.com. “Phenomenal musicianship and top-notch songwriting,” Adds Loosey Lucy e-zine.
“We are looking forwarding to providing a fun and cozy afternoon of music,” says Susan Haefner, Little Yellow House Studio founder. “We have performed many concerts at the Old Parish Church over the years, and Lisa, Lori, and I are excited to return to make music in such a warm and inviting space.”
There is a suggested donation at the door. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Neighbor’s Pantry, of Londonderry, Vt. The Old Parish Church is located at 100 Main Street in Weston, Vt. For more information, please visit www.littleyellowhousestudio.com.
