Vermont Folklorist Margaret MacArthur will join September 9 Song & Story Swap

Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the September Pioneer Valley Folklore Society SONG & STORY SWAP.

Margaret MacArthur will be at the Black Sheep in Amherst on Sept. 9Friday, September 9, 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Black Sheep Café, 79 Main St., Amherst, Mass.

Guest performer this month will be folksinger and song collector, Margaret MacArthur.

Adept at the harp-zither, guitar and mountain dulcimer, Margaret Macarthur is a seminal figure in the Vermont traditional music scene.  She has been collecting and interpreting folk songs since before her first recording, Ballads of Vermont, came out on the Folkways label in 1962.  Her work is featured in Visit’n 8, “Vermont’s Songcatcher: A Lifetime of Singing and Saving Near-Forgotten Tunes,” published by the Vermont Folklife Center.  Her CD, Vermont Ballads & Broadsides was chosen by Yankee Magazine as one of their Top 40 Music CDs of all time.  In 2002 the Vermont Arts Council gave her a Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 1985 the University of Massachusetts Art Biennial Committee named her a New England Living Arts Treasure.
