Dan Bern is a captivating live performer who has enthralled a loyal and ever-growing fan base in the US and Europe since the mid ‘90s. His songs range from deeply moving to wildly imaginative and hilarious, often within the same song.
He has been compared favorably to the great masters of songwriting, such as Guthrie, Dylan, Costello. Though he draws from the great American tradition of songwriting, there is something deeply unique and compelling that make you want to get to know the man behind the songs.
He conjures incredibly specific imagery like in a painting. Though he may turn to cynicism and political satire at times, the beauty of his work is that he is able to imagine better worlds, revealing a deep capacity for empathy and optimism. Bern connects with his audiences skillfully and directly, weaving the topical and local in with the more universal themes. He has written for many films and TV shows and has made more than thirty albums.In late 2024, Laurie&nbsp;MacAllister&nbsp;embarked on an exciting new chapter, launching a solo career with a sold-out performance at the legendary Club Passim. Two decades earlier, she co-founded the beloved Americana trio Red Molly, which released seven acclaimed albums and toured both the U.S. and internationally, including appearances at MerleFest, Cayamo, Boston Symphony Hall, Australia’s Port Fairy Folk Fest, and Denmark’s Tønder Festival.
Her 2018 self-produced solo album “The Lies the Poets Tell” is a heartfelt tribute to the contemporary folk music scene, celebrating a handful of its best songs and songwriters. SiriusXM praised the album as “Defining. A curated collection packed with emotional vibrancy.” A new album is in the works for a 2027 Release. This year she will grace stages from the legendary Club Passim to the Black Bear Americana Festival to the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Conference…and now, the Troubadour!

The fighting involved air forces, artillery, infantry, armored units, paratroopers, sabotage, engineering and logistic units. This final game our HGS game represents the race and fighting for critical chokepoints, here by American and German tank units in a race to gain an important road-junction. The tanks and Kampfpanzers need commanders. Come and be one! 
Now you too can be part of the action! Participants will use dice and strategy to move their soldiers about on a realistic tabletop 3D reproduction of the battlefield in hopes to win the day. Don't miss your chance to be a part of history!

Scherenschnitte Workshop at the Mendham Township Library
Mendham, NJ –
On Tuesday, November 17th
at 6pm, join Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm as they present a Scherenschnitte Workshop at the Mendham Township Library.
Join Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm as they teach the art of scherenschnitte.Scherenschnitte is the German Folk Art of intricate paper cutting. Participants will learn about this unique art form, while creating their own Scherenschnitte to bring home. 
 
Scherenschnitte (pronounced something like Sharon-Sh-knit-a) is the German and Pennsylvania German tradition of cutting paper. Traditionally, these paper designs were done by folding the paper and cutting to make a continuous design. Scherenschnitte were often used as decorative pieces for birth certificates, love letters, and marriage certificates. These tended to incorporate flowers, birds, and hearts. Since paper was originally expensive, old letters or newspapers were often used. This offers some unique insight into the lives of the people who made them. During the Victorian Era, scherenschnitte was used to make shelf paper for cupboards, cake doilies, or table decor. Scherenschnitte can also create a picture or tell a story. For the Germans, many of the picture cutouts were based on folk tales. These images usually featured people and activities. 
About Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm: 
Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm is nestled in the Pocono Mountains on 114 acres of beautiful pastures, woodlands, and streams and is listed on the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">National Register of Historic Places</a>.Our guests experience what life was like on a busy 19th century family farm where period dressed interpreters portray descendants of Johann Depper. Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm offers a wide variety of programs and activities throughout the year exploring the agricultural cycle, livestock practices, delicious cuisine, community celebrations, social customs, and technology of a typical Pennsylvania family farm in the 19th century.

Their original song “Hope Lingers On” has been sung by choirs around the world as an anthem for peace and justice.Peppino D’Agostino left Sicily more than 30 years ago with a simple dream: to play alongside the world’s greatest guitarists. He has more than fulfilled that ambition, becoming one of the most respected and influential figures in contemporary acoustic guitar.
A leading voice in the second wave of fingerstyle guitarists that helped redefine the instrument in the 1990s, D’Agostino is celebrated for his dazzling technique, innovative use of open tunings, percussive effects, melodic compositions, and emotional depth. His broad musical tastes and playful warmth have inspired generations of guitarists and audiences worldwide. Acoustic Guitar magazine named him “the guitarist’s guitarist,” while Guitar Player readers voted him Best Acoustic Guitarist.
D’Agostino has performed in more than 30 countries and shared stages with Tommy Emmanuel, Leo Kottke, Sergio Assad, Larry Carlton, and Eric Johnson. His recordings include Acoustic Spirit, Close to the Heart, Every Step of the Way, and Penumbra, which bridges classical and acoustic guitar traditions.
Beyond performing, D’Agostino is a dedicated teacher, offering workshops and online instruction. His music has also appeared in video games and at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. His concerts are celebrated for virtuosity, spontaneity, humor, and an intimate connection with audiences. Whether composing, teaching, or performing on his signature Seagull guitar, D’Agostino continues to push the boundaries of acoustic music.
