SUMMARY:Ossipee Valley Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Ossipee Valley is a music festival in Maine. The festival features four stages\, food trucks\, craft beer\, yoga\, barn dances\, workshops\, kids activities\, craft vendors and camping. It is dreamily situated on the banks of the Ossipee river\, amongst tall pines and goat barns\, in southern Maine\, under an hour from Portland or North Conway\, and 2.5 hrs NW of Boston. \nThe festival is known for featuring ascendant acts in roots\, bluegrass\, americana\, folk\, world\, and blues music\, but it is about more than just the music: Ossipee Valley is a community where all are welcome. Moon dancers\, flatpickers\, gangs of kids on bikes\, barefoot granolas and retired RV grandmas\, wallflowers\, instigators\, listeners\, players\, makers and shakers unite under the fresh summer sky. Come join us. \nDon’t forget to join us for the Ossipee Valley String Camp-a 5 day immersive educational experience that comes with a pass to the festival\, for seven whole days of musical bliss.

SUMMARY:Larry and Joe
DESCRIPTION:Larry Bellorín hails from Monagas\, Venezuela and is a legend of Llanera music. Joe Troop is from North Carolina and is a GRAMMY-nominated bluegrass and oldtime musician. Larry was forced into exile and is an asylum seeker in North Carolina. Joe\, after a decade in South America\, got stranded back in his stomping grounds in the pandemic. Larry works construction to make ends meet. Joe’s acclaimed “latingrass” band Che Apalache was forced into hiatus\, and he shifted into action working with asylum seeking migrants. \nCurrently based in the Triangle of North Carolina\, both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp\, banjo\, cuatro\, fiddle\, maracas\, guitar\, upright bass\, and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. The program they offer features a distinct blend of their musical inheritances and traditions as well as storytelling about the ways that music and social movements coalesce.

SUMMARY:Lonesome Ace Stringband
DESCRIPTION:Masters of their trade\, The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit\, skill and abandon to Americana music\, bridging old-time\, bluegrass and folk traditions into a seamless hybrid of original material that is at once fresh and timeless. \nInstrumentation alone sets this Toronto-based trio’s sound apart: consisting simply of fiddle (John Showman)\, clawhammer banjo (Chris Coole)\, and upright bass (Max Heineman). The spine-tingling harmonies and interchanging lead vocals only bring more magic to the equation. They’ve become festival favourites at Rockygrass\, Celtic Connections\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\, Merlefest and regularly tour the USA\, UK\, Germany and\, of course\, Canada. \nWith more than a decade of group music-making under their belts\, they’re releasing their fifth album\, a feisty and mighty collection of all-original material titled ‘Try To Make It Fly’ (October 13\, 2023).
