CHESTER, Vt. – The First Universalist Parish of Chester, aka the Stone Church, is excited to feature Big Woods Voices in concert on Sunday, Oct. 19, at 4 p.m. Big Woods Voices celebrates a cappella vocal harmony through arrangements grown from American roots genres, world folk styles, poets old and new, and Will Danforth’s rich creative well. From heart-stopping to foot-stomping, prayerful to fun-filled, dissonant to dulcet, Big Woods Voices brings the spirit of southern Vermont to life through rich harmonies and soulful interpretations.
Big Woods Voices are Will Danforth, an award-winning, multi-instrumental acoustic artist; Alan Blood, present and past member of many area vocal groups, including the Brattleboro Camerata, Tessitura, Blue Moon, and House Blend; Becky Graber, leader of the Brattleboro Women’s Chorus and the Good Trouble Street Choir; and Amanda Witman, Brattleboro Music Center faculty and coleader of the Brattleboro Pub Sing.
