Katie Clarke & the Green River Band will be March 9 Song and Story Swap guests

Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.

Sunday, March 9 , 7:00-9:30 p.m. at the The Nacul Center, 592 Main St., Amherst, Mass (see map).

Katie Clarke and the Green River band will join March 9 Song & Story Swap at the Nacul Center in AmherstGuest performers for the March 9 Song & Story Swap will be Katie Clarke and the Green River Band.

Katie Clarke and the Green River Band are a dynamic and fast-rising musical group presenting a mix of traditional old-time, country and bluegrass numbers peppered with distinctive and more contemporary originals. The cornerstone of their sound is the combination of harmony vocals with crack dobro and mandolin work. They have been wowing audiences all over New England with their crisp and eclectic mix of American roots.

Often compared to local artist Rani Arbo (Daisy Mayhem, Salamander Crossing) and nationally renowned singer-songwriters such as Gillian Welch and Kate Wolf, Katie's big voice and the stunning dobro and vocal work of her cohort Charlie Conant have earned them a solid reputation as a crowd-pleasing group able to navigate the territories of folk, country, gospel, bluegrass and old time music without sounding derivative.

In late 2006 Katie and Charlie were joined by Gail Hegeman on bass and hot mandolin player John Alphin. They are rightfully proud to introduce Wrap Me in Green, their first full-length CD of all original material, recorded at Signature Sounds Studios in Fall 2007.
