Tuesday Tunes: The Dale & Darcy Band
2024-11-26 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Lawson’s Finest Taproom, 155 Carroll Road, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
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.
