The annual FSSGB members' concert is always a popular event. Traditional and original music are performed by our talented members, who cover a wide range of styles. Some FSSGB members who have performed at this event have gone on to have successful performing careers, such as Elijah Wald, Mark Ryer, Fool's Errand and Merle Roesler. The music ranges from traditional ballads to original compositions, and from instrumental to a cappella pieces. Some of the instruments that have been played at this concert in the past include violin, cello, banjo, mandolin, guitar, bass, keyboard and concertina.
Many new musical relationships have formed as a result of the members' concert, including our hosts for the evening, Two for the Show -- Ellen Schmidt and Jake Kensinger! They began playing together a few years ago for a members' concert, and have since become very active performers in the local folk music scene.
Members are invited to sign up to perform - one song or a spoken word piece. You may perform alone or with others. Some performers have been participating for years; others will do so for the first time. Children are most welcome.
