PUTNEY — The Twilight on the Tavern Lawn series of folk, world beat, zydeco, Celtic, jazz, rock, and bluegrass summer concerts continues on Sunday, Aug. 1 with roots and world music quartet the Gaslight Tinkers
The free concert (donations will be accepted) takes place downtown on the Putney Tavern lawn (bring a lawn chair or blanket) or at Next Stage at 15 Kimball Hill in case of rain. Food will be available.
The Gaslight Tinkers' blend of global rhythms “creates a joyous world beat sound around a core of traditional New England old-time and Celtic fiddle music, merging boundless positive energy with melody and song,” as described in a news release.
Drawing from their extensive musical backgrounds in traditional folk, Caribbean, old time, Celtic, and rock, Audrey Knuth, Joey Fitzparick, Garrett Sawyer, and Peter Siegel craft a sound that brings world traditions together.
Since its formation in 2012, the band has lit up the nation coast to coast as well as the Caribbean, headlining clubs, dances, and major festivals.
The group has performed at the Green River Festival, the Iron Horse Music Hall, the Parlor Room, the Old Songs Festival, Caffe Lena, Strange Creek, Rock and Roll Resort, Old Songs, Falcon Ridge Folk Festivals, and Wormtown Music Festival.
Co-presented with Next Stage Arts Project, the five-concert series continues on Sundays, Aug. 22 and Sept. 5 and 19. The series is sponsored by the town and by Putney area businesses and organizations.
