Talk about diversity in folk music. This show is free — and far — ranging, starting with elegant Celtic and old-time music, moving to the marvelous historic storytelling in song of Sparky and Rhonda Rucker and finishing up with an hour of railroad songs. There’s also a brief “in memoriam” for Arthur “Guitar Boogie” Smith of country music fame (not to be confused with old time music’s Fiddlin’ Arthur Smith) who died earlier this week.
Connecticut fiddler Jeanne Freeman has a debut album release party this coming Thursday in Milford, while Sparky and Rhonda Rucker will be performing in Branford on Saturday night. And plan ahead. Ken and Brad Kolodner will be bringing their wonderfully creative music to this fall’s Nutmeg Dulcimer Festival in Milford in October.
