On November 15, Perkasie Mennonite Church will host a night of folk music at the Perkasie Patchwork Coffeehouse. Greg Greenway and opening act The Fretnoughts will perform.
Greg Greenway is a rare combination of instrumental expertise, a soulful and moving singer, powerful poet and sparkling entertainer. This all comes through the singular lens of Greenway’s humanity and his easy affinity for the audience. 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.”
The Fretnoughts derive their name from the powerful dreadnought guitar, a fretted instrument used in their performances, and from the carefree “fret-not” spirit of their sound. Nick Winter and Sharon Abbott are joined by Joel Hanna (also of the folk band “Elgie’s Kitchen”). All three enjoy creating arrangements and harmonies to back up each other’s original works, as well as putting their own spin on familiar blues, classic country, folk and swing tunes.
Doors will open at 7 pm at the Perkasie Patchwork Coffeehouse in the Perkasie Mennonite Church hall at 4th & Chestnut Streets in Perkasie, PA. The performances will begin at 7:30. Adults $9, Seniors 65 & over $7, Students 13 and over $4, 12 & under free. Tasty refreshments for sale.
