The Crew is so excited to have Bill Staines at the Firehouse that we almost don’t care if anyone comes but us. But we expect all the lovers of traditional American music to join us. Bill has performed all over the country since the early days of the folk revival. His songs are so familiar that sometimes people don’t know he wrote them, including the Crew’s favorite, the love song “Roseville Fair”. Singing mostly his own songs, he has become one of the most popular and durable singers on the folk music scene today, performing nearly 200 concerts a year and driving over 65,000 miles annually. He weaves a blend of gentle wit and humor into his performances and one reviewer wrote, “He has a sense of timing to match the best standup comic.” Bill’s music is a slice of Americana, reflecting with the same ease his feelings about the prairie people of the Midwest or the adventurers of the Yukon, the on-the-road truckers, the cowboys and trappers of earlier times, and the other everyday workers that make up this land. Composer David Amram recently described Bill as “a modern day Stephen Foster…his songs will be around 100 years from now.”

All concerts are on Friday nights at 7:30 PM in Tinmouth village. The Old Firehouse is on Mountain View Road just a few hundred feet south of the intersection with Vermont 140. Park on the road or on the Town Green in front of the church. Suggested donation of $10; 90% goes to the musicians. 10% goes to the Town to support maintenance of the Old Firehouse. Local groups provide refreshments. Your donations support their activities.
