Bertha and the Belles

Friday, September 26th, 7:30pm 

Bertha and the Belles is an acoustic quartet featuring the powerful singing of Pam Hawley, the remarkable fiddling of Alice Backer, the lovely, rootsy vocals of Annie Trimble, AND some of the best duet and trio vocal harmony around.  In addition, the powerful rhythm section of Annie’s guitar, Pam’s banjo uke, and “Bertha” — Richard Gordon’s bass — provides a solid backdrop for an exciting mixture of country, swing, spiritual, old-time, and other folk music.  https://www.berthaandthebelles.com/
