16th Annual Summer Concert Series featuring Folk by Association on July 20! Join us at Shelburne Farms for another fun Summer Concert Series. After ten years of performing as Folk by Association, Karen Krajacic and Jill Cowen have certainly traveled a long and interesting road together. They've now played hundreds of shows in 26 states, gaining a reputation for both their top-notch vocal harmonies and their grassroots approach to working as independent artists. With intricate harmonies at the forefront, Folk by Association embraces elements of folk, roots, bluegrass, jazz, and world music, weaving these eclectic traditions together in a unique, contemporary way. The duo uses multiple acoustic instruments, switching between the guitar and mandolin, throwing in a banjo here, a toy xylophone there. Said to be nostalgic and modern, soothing and energizing, Folk by Association is both a throwback and a surprise. Gates will open at 5:30 with the concert starting at 6:30. In case of wet weather, join us at the Town Center Gym. Donations greatly appreciated!
