Awesome Entertainment Friday, Sept. 27

What do you take when you combine harmonies, guitars, mandolins and a lovely fall evening in the White Mountains? It's a night of folk and bluegrass to remember, as dynamic folk duo Bennett & Perkins team up with bluegrass favorites, Ted DeMille & Bobby St. Pierre (of North Sttar fame) at Intervale, NH's Theatre in the Wood on Fri. Sept. 27, 2013 at 7pm.  Doors open at 6:30pm

Ted DeMille & Bobby St. Pierre

Musical partnerships can be fleeting, but multi-instrumentalist Bobby St. Pierre and singer-songwriter Ted DeMille have stuck together going on twenty years. They began playing together as part of North Star in 1994, then as half of Bits and Pieces. They play a down to earth blend of bluegrass instrumentation. You’ll hear the mandolin and guitar from the first Bluegrass duets combined with heartfelt vocals, the Celtic call of the mandola, flat-picked guitar; back porch music presented with no pretense. Original music mixed with old favorites, Ted and Bobby are two old friends using time tested skills to forge something new.

Bennett & Perkins This Mt. Washington Valley based folk duo offers a startling array of original songs with powerful lyrics and melodies, coupled with exceptionally strong vocals and guitar playing. Thom Perkins' guitar work has been compared to Richard Thompson and Bruce Cockburn - you'll swear he has more than 10 fingers once you hear him play. Kathy Bennett has "a voice that can crack sheet rock" with vocals likened to Lucinda Williams, Bonnie Raitt and Emmy Lou Harris all rolled into one. Together, they're a powerhouse of folk sure to resonate on both a physical and emotional level.Just off their summer New England tour, the duo released their second CD last year. Produced by New England musical phenom Tom Dean and entitled "House on Fire, the album is a powerful collection of original songs and a natural continuation of their music from their first CD "The Kitchen Music Sessions" (2010). Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door and they may be purchased at the Theatre in the Wood box office at 41 Observatory Way in Intervale, NH  (
