PUTNEY — Next Stage Arts continues its 2024 Bandwagon Summer Series of concerts with a Folk/Roots/Americana music festival featuring The Clements Brothers, The Jacob Jolliff Band and The Mammals at 2 p.m. Oct.
6 at Cooper Softball Field in Putney. The Clements Brothers are George and Charles Clements, identical twins from New England. They’ve been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember and their duo marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band The Lonely Heartstring Band, with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records.
The Jacob Jolliff Band is an ensemble of virtuosic pickers who play Jacob Jolliff's original instrumentals and showcase his singing. They tour nationally in the US and have also traveled to Scotland and Australia to perform. The Mammals are folksingers Ruth Ungar, Mike Merenda, and a cohort of compelling collaborators who form a touring quintet on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, organ, bass and drums.
This event is co-presented with Twilight Music. Food will be available to purchase from Smokin' Bowls, serving an ever-changing variety of seasonal dishes using local produce, dairy, and meat. The Bandwagon Summer Series is a family-friendly outdoor cultural performance series running from early May through mid-October.
More than 20 performances ranging from a diverse group of musical styles, circus arts, dance, and theater will take place at ballfields, farms, and parks througho.
