2024-11-12 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
Madigan Linnane is an emerging musician with roots in The Mad River Valley. Her thoughtful lyrics, drawn from emotional life experiences, combined with a modern folk/pop/indie musical style create songs that appeal to broad audiences.
Over the last several years she has delighted listeners with performances in coffee shops, restaurants, country clubs, farmer’s markets and a variety of private events. A versatile musician performing a mix of originals and covers, Madigan plays acoustic guitar, ukulele and piano but is best known for her velvety, tender vocal style and original songwriting. Madigan took first place in Padavano’s Place 2018 Singer-Songwriter contest by performing 3 original songs including her Christmas song, Snow Falls. Victor Infante of the Worcester Telegram wrote that she “…has a way of focusing on the joy her persona finds in other people’s delight, a perspective that skirts the consumerism of the season.”

Tuesday Tunes: The Dale & Darcy Band
2024-11-26 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
The Dale and Darcy band is composed of veteran acoustic musicians who play together at farmer’s markets, fairs, festivals, weddings, in bars and taverns and anywhere people appreciate a lively tune.
Their music is clean, crisp and clear. They have entertained guests every Saturday at The Von Trapp Family Brewery and Bakery for the past five summers and it is during that time that they developed the sweet harmonies and uncomplicated tunes you will find on their album. The tenor banjo, fiddles, mandolin, guitar and vocals create a sound that is pleasing to listen to, to dance to or to have playing quietly in the background. While some of the tunes are familiar favorites, others are simply their favorites, the tunes that have made a lasting impression on us all.
