Coming Soon

Check out our performing musician schedule for the  2017-2018 season at Deer Creek. All shows begin at 7:30 pm …. Saturday, October 14th,  2017 Greg Greenway & Reggie Harris Originally from Richmond, VA, Greg moved to Boston for its rich Folk Music tradition and has become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. His “In the Name of Love,” a lead in to the U2 classic, “Pride,” was the #5 song on the Folk DJ list in 2013. It has become a defining piece on his journey to becoming an international artist capable of addressing sensitive topics like Race in a way that connects audiences to their humanity while entertaining them at the same time. He has been described as “one of the strongest, and finest voices in folk music.” The Boston Globe wrote, “Confessional one moment, rambunctiously disarming the next, few modern folk singers can own a coffeehouse stage as completely as Greenway.”  Steeped in the tradition of African American spirituals, folk, gospel, rock and the music of civil and human rights, Reggie is recognized as one of the foremost presenters of songs, who, in the spirit of his mentors Pete Seeger, Harry Belafonte and Bernice Johnson Reagon, gets people smiling and singing. https://c9tuning.wordpress.com/ http://reggieharrismusic.com Saturday, November 18th,  2017 Dan Frechette & Laurel Thomsen With broad influences ranging from Folk, Classical, Old Time and Celtic, to Gospel, Jazz, Vintage Country, Rock N' Roll, Blues, and Bluegrass, Dan and Laurel flow seamlessly through genres, tempos, stories, and moods, embodying each style with virtuosic command and keeping music fans on the edge of their seats. Enjoyment is palpable. Meeting via a chance YouTube sighting, and fueled by undeniable musical chemistry, eclectic Roots-Folk songwriters Dan Frechette, guitar/harmonica/vocals, and Laurel Thomsen, violin/vocals, prove that musical magic is “a match made in heaven” (Monterey Herald). Lyrically refreshing and musically diverse, since teaming up in 2013, this Canadian- American duo, now based in Santa Cruz, California, has toured the U.S. and Canada extensively, playing theaters, living rooms, festivals, including the definitive Winnipeg Folk Fest, and releasing three albums of their diverse and uplifting original material. Whether opening for the Wailin’ Jennys or serenading a farmer’s market, Dan and Laurel take to the stage with exuberance, and with “their energy, winsome personalities, and toe tapping rhythms, keep audiences engaged with every song” (Carlin Newsletter, Tappen, BC). http://www.danandlaurel.ca/Home.html Saturday, December 9th, 2017 Joe Crookston Songwriter, guitarist, painter, fiddler, eco- village member and believer in all things possible.  Named 2016 Folk Alliance International Artist-in- Residence and signed to Tamulevich Artist Management. He’s not afraid to walk outside trends and create his own version of magic.  His recording Able Baker Charlie & Dog was awarded Album of the Year by Folk alliance International.   He will surprise you and he’ll awaken the cynics.   His songs are being made into films and are being printed in songbooks.  Joe’s live performances are multi-media celebrations of art and possibility with looped fiddle, video, slide guitar and SONGS. He’s a bard in the modern world plumbing for lyrical gold like a social archeologist.  His story songs are universal, his slide playing infectious, and on stage he’s funny as hell one moment and transcendent the next.    Come to a show. Travel mystical, historical, and humorous roads, and twist through lush sonic landscapes along the way.  Oklahoma towns, rattlesnake tails, Taoist parables and drunk roosters. At the end of the night, you’ll leave inspired. The Long Note in Irish culture is that place of resonance and transcendence where the music, the voices, the instruments, and the community ALL come together and unite. There IS a “Long Note” and Joe is courting it fiercely.  Watch a YouTube video. It’s good, but it’s not the same. You gotta come to the show. http://www.joecrookston.com Saturday, January 20th, 2018 Ken & Brad Kolodner http://www.kenandbrad.com Saturday, February 24th, 2018 Tommy & Saundra O’Sullivan http://www.tommyosullivan.net Saturday, March 10th, 2018 Suzie Vinnick http://www.suzievinnick.com Saturday, April 14th 2018 The Levins https://www.thelevinsmusic.com Saturday, May 12th, 2018 Martyn Joseph http://www.martynjoseph.net Saturday, June 9th, 2018 The End of America http://www.theendofamericamusic.com
