Deb Flanders invites you to a truly
unique Vermont experience! Imagine a
beautiful summer evening, a soft pink
sky, a slight breeze and the distant
whinnying of a friendly horse. Enter a
country church untouched by time. An
intimate setting for the singing of songs
and the playing of accoustical
instruments. Let the music wash over
you. Before you know it, it's time for
intermission. Fresh lemonade! Then as
dusk settles over the little white
church, the candles are lit and the
show continues bathed in the warmth
of candlelight. It just doesn't get any
better than this!

Jeff Warner, folklorist, banjo and concertina player, will be
featured at the 10th Annual Old West Church concert in Calais,
Vermont. With warmth, humor and understated scholarship, Jeff
Warner connects 21st century audiences with the music and
everyday lives of 19th century people. He presents musical
traditions from the Outer Banks fishing villages of North
Carolina, to the limber camps of the Adirondack Mountains and
the whaling ports of New England.

The Calais Concerts, organized by Deb Flanders, have
highlighted the traditional music of New England for the past
decde in honor or Helen Hartness Flanders, one of the pioneers
of folkhistory in the U.S. This concert will also pay tribute to
Jeff's parents Ann and Frank Warner who were devoted and
renowned collectors in the musically fertile areas of the Southern
Appalachians, the NorthCarolina Outer Banks, Tidewater
Virginia, New England and Upstate New York.
