The Friends of Brooks Memorial Library will host a fundraising concert on Friday, November 7, 7:30 PM in the Library, with Hungrytown, a Vermont folk-based duo. Hungrytown is the musical and married team of Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson. They have released two highly acclaimed CDs, Hungrytown (2008) and Any Forgotten Thing (2011), both of which continue to receive much airplay on folk and Americana stations worldwide.
Rebecca and Ken tour full time; their adventures have taken them throughout the US, Canada, Europe and New Zealand. Their songs have been performed by many other artists, including Nashville songwriting legend David Olney, and bluegrass veterans the Virginia Ramblers. Hungrytown’s music has also appeared on several television shows, including the Independent Film Channel’s hit series, Portlandia.
Ken is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist as well as a talented producer and arranger. Having produced all of their recorded works, Ken’s artistry has been singled out for praise: “Anderson has a knack for crafting rich arrangements that don’t clutter things up,” writes Casey Rea of Seven Days (VT) magazine. When not touring with Rebecca, Ken is often hiding out in their home studio, Song Catcher Recording, working with other songwriters and instrumentalists. - See more at: http://hungrytown.net/band_bio/#sthash.ITNWiHOZ.dpuf.
Rebecca has two well-received CDs, Rebecca Hall Sings! (2000) and Sunday Afternoon (2002). She has developed a reputation for crafting classic, instantly memorable songs, weaving modern themes into traditional song structures. “Rebecca Hall is a true rarity: a new folk classicist.” wrote Daniel Gewertz of the Boston Herald.
Tickets are now available in the Brooks Library or on BrattleboroTix at . Ticket prices are $15, and $10 for Friends members.
