Newfoundland born Claire Porter is a singer/songwriter who has been described as a mix between Judy Garland and Tom Waits. Join us at Folk Night for Claire’s music about detritivores, love stories and tiramisu!
The Verdin Brothers is a collaborative project between multi-instrumentalists Peter and Mark Verdin that has transmuted traditional into experimental, tracking the crooked byroads of folk and lingering in its dark pockets and eerie configurations. Building from a foundation of steel-string guitar and upright bass, they play deranged instrumental folk music that blends elements of American Primitive guitar, traditional string band, and musique concrète. With unique instrumentation and a keen ear for melody, The Verdin Brothers’ music will have you hypnotized!
