Folksinger Jennie McAvoy will join May 13 Song & Story Swap
Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.
Sunday, May 13 , 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the The Nacul Center, 592 Main St., Amherst, Mass (see map).
Guest performer for the May 13 song & story swap will be folksinger Jennie McAvoy.
Trained as a mezzo-soprano, Jennie is a polished traditional ballad singer whose rock-solid voice is deftly complemented by superb acoustic guitar fingerpicking. She is a discriminating song collector with a repertoire that spans centuries. Eleven of her favorites may be heard on her recent CD, So Long at the Flood, on which she is backed up by Signature Sounds guitar maestro, Brooks Williams.
McAvoy was born in New York City, raised in the Hudson River Valley, and now makes Deerfield, Massachusetts, her home. In addition to touring as a folk singer, Jennie plays cello and sings with the Pioneer Valley Symphony Chorus and the PVS Chorus Chamber Singers.

The warm-up theme this month is Mothers.
