Linda Young
Time: Noon -1pm
Linda grew up with an Estonian mother and grandmother, with singing a constant accompaniment to pretty much any activity in the home, and from an early age she was almost always humming or "leaking" music in one way or another. Despite a journey through the world of classical vocal training, she eventually she found her way back to the music she started with and loves most - folk, jazz, and country. Linda picked up the guitar and started performing as a singer-songwriter when she moved home to Vermont in 2011, and has since added folk harp to her instruments. She has a life-long love of the “Great American Song Book,” and acquired a fascination with the “Latin Songbook” during a decade living in California. Influences include Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitgerald, Chet Baker, Nanci Griffith, Rani Arbo, Rhiannon Giddens, Gillian Welch, and Mercedes Sosa.
What Four
Time: 1-2pm
What Four: Don Houghton and Ned Houston, who up to recently have been performing as ‘How Two’, have been joined by two new members - Craig Taylor on guitar, and Alan Turnbull on standup bass - to form a 4-member band we’re calling ‘What Four?’. Our repertoire includes songs from the folk, bluegrass and pop traditions, songs that give us a chance to blend our instruments while we harmonize on the vocals. We’ve been told that we look like we’re having fun when we perform: for What Four?, that’s what it’s all about.
Jon Gailmor
Time: 2-3pm
