Lewis Franco and Susannah Blachly
Time: 8 pm
Price: $8
Location: The Music Box, 147 Creek Rd, Craftsbury
Description: Lewis has been called one of Vermont s finest songwriters by Robert Resnik of Vermont Public Radio. His songs are social commentary, whimsy, and delight. He is a fixture on the Vermont music scene playing with The Missing Cats who do gypsy swing and jive swing, also with The Gross domestic products, and the duo you ll see this night with Susannah Blachly. He started playing guitar back in the 1970 s doing rock. Now he does mainly acoustic guitar. He has songs which delight young and old alike, which, with his usual wit he says, It s not just Pop music it s Mom & Pop music. Lewis, as you can see, will entertain you with more than just music.
The other end of this duo, Susannah Blachly began studying classical violin at age 7. After college she stopped but regained the passion after a lesson with Vermont legend, Pete Sutherland in 2000. She has been composing songs and creating music ever since, producing two dynamic CDs. Her 2004 release was voted one of the top ten Vermont albums by Seven Days (Burlington s arts and news weekly). She also plays in other bands: also in The Gross Domestic Products, and in the trio, Wagtail.
