Swing's the thing again, so don't miss out on the Freese Brothers Big Band.

 The return of our fiddle contest with our 3rd Annual (sorta) Meetinghouse Fiddle Championships and Pickin' Party. Come hear (or play) with some of the best fiddlers in the Northeast, showing off their talents on stage. Or dust off those old fiddles, guitars, mandolins, banjos and whatever else makes noise and enjoy a day of playing with others. Or just sit back and listen if you want!

Our first Doo-Wop Night!! We're pretty excited to have the music of our old friends, the Reminisants to start off our evening. But then, hold onto your hats - oldies lovers, as we bring on Shirley Alston Reeves, original lead singer of the Shirelles (yep- you remember them - Soldier Boy, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Dedicated To The One I Love, Mama Said).

But the night is just getting started as we finish up with Jay Siegel and the Tokens (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) with special guest Jay Trainor of Jay and the Americans fame. WOW!!

(Rain location for this show is the Hampstead Central School - across the street from Meetinghouse Park)

We wrap up the summer with a night of bluegrass from High Range, an energetic roots/folk/bluegrass group with a long list of rave reviews from national publications. They highlight original music with a mix of cover songs on guitar, upright bass, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and drums. Tight and true vocals with impressive instrumental work make their songs a pleasure to hear repeatedly.
