Adam Sweeney will join October 14 Song & Story Swap

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

Adam Sweeney will join Song & Story Swap in Amherst on October 14!Friday, October 14, 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Black Sheep Café, 79 Main St., Amherst, Mass.

Guest performer on October 14 will be transplanted Northwest folk-pop singer-songwriter Adam Sweeney.

This is the first in a string of New England dates for Sweeney, who recently moved to Northampton from Portland, Oregon. Influenced by Dave Carter and Bill Jolliff along with other local heroes of Portland's rich singer-songwriter scene, Sweeney's music remains decidedly Northwest in character.

A talented wordsmith and story teller, Sweeney's self-produced debut album, Places & Names has met with high critical acclaim in the Pacific Northwest and features several of Portland's finest independent artists including Jenifer Conlee (The Decemberists), Jacob Henry & Bill Jolliff and Anne Weiss.

The Valley welcomes a fresh new folk talent to the area.
