Boscawen's High Street Coffee House Features Skip Gorman; 7PM Friday, March 6th
Join us at 7PM on Friday, March 6 at Boscawen’s High Street Coffee House as we welcome our feature artist, singer-songwriter, Skip Gorman. For over half a century Skip Gorman has enjoyed singing, playing and performing an impressive and varied palette of traditional American and Celtic folk music. As an accomplished singer, guitarist, fiddler and mandolinist, Gorman has completed over 18 recordings of old-time cowboy songs, fiddle, mandolin, bluegrass and been featured on many others, and established his own record label, Old West Recordings.
His recordings have earned a prestigious NAIRD (INDIE) award and been selected as a top ten folk pick of the year by Amazon.com. Filmmaker Ken Burns has used Skip’s original music on four of his celebrated documentaries. He has appeared on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion, toured with the US Embassy in Chile, Argentina and Paraguay, performed at World Fiddle Day in Co. Kerry, Ireland, and taught at numerous music camps in America and the British Isles. You can learn more about Ian and his music at Ian Galipeau Music | Singer Songwriter | New Hampshire.
Boscawen’s High Street Coffee House is a “Open Mic” venue, welcoming musicians, poets and comedians to take the stage for two songs or ten minutes. Held in the sanctuary of the Boscawen Congregational Church, the acoustics are 2nd to none! Doors open at 6:30pm, the music starts at 7pm, and the evening is typically wrapped up by 10pm.
Bring your appetite as there is a great array of refreshments for a light dinner or a simply sweet or salty snack that is all available by donation. Admission to Boscawen’s High Street Coffee House is always FREE, though a donation basket is passed at intermission to help support the feature musician.
Priority for open mic will be given to those who did not perform at last month’s event. Performers need to sign up ahead of time by emailing Liz at the Coffee House email inbox at [email protected].
Any questions? Call Chris at 603-520-9196 and she will be more than happy to help you. The sanctuary is handicap accessible by the door on the street side of the church across from the Fire Station. Bring your appetite and bring a friend!
