Spirit Family Reunion...Live at the Edmond Town Hall
The darlings of the music festival circuit bring their vibrant blend of folk and rock to Newtown's intimate theater on September 5th.
On September 5th at 7pm, Spirit Family Reunion will headline the next “Live at the Edmond Town Hall” show. Over more than 250 live shows, Spirit Family Reunion have stunned audiences at the Newport Folk Festival, Stagecoach, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass among other festivals, and toured with Levon Helm, Alabama Shakes, the Tedeschi-Trucks Band, Dr. Dog, Felice Brothers, Blitzen Trapper, Trampled by Turtles, and Hurray for the Riff Raff. Their spirited live show has received critical acclaim, with the SF Weekly naming them one of the best performances at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, noting, “The charge in the air was celebratory. We had been baptized.” On seeing the band live for the first time, Detroit’s Metro Times wrote, “It was like when (Jon) Landau discovered Springsteen. When Aretha discovered Ray Charles.” NPR Music’s Bob Boilen stated that the band were his favorite find at the 2012 Newport Folk Festival.
Tickets are $25 and available at www.edmondtownhall.org.
All profits go to restore/upgrade the Great Depression-era Edmond Town Hall Theater, one of Connecticut’s foremost arts gems.
