Letitia VanSant will join March 3 Song & Story Swap
Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.
Saturday, March 3, 7:00 p.m. at the The Nacul Center, 592 Main St., Amherst, Mass (see map).
Guest performer at the March 3 Song & Story Swap will be Maryland folksinger-songwriter, Letitia VanSant.
Baltimore's Letitia VanSant has earned a reputation for creating "bonafide Americana and indie folk with harmonies you can sink your teeth into."
With her distinctively smooth voice, finely crafted lyrics, a gift for storytelling and a keen insight into the human condition, Letitia VanSant has been garnering accolades wherever she is heard. She was one of six winners of the prestigious 2017 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk award and was invited to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's Emerging Artist Showcase last year. She won the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, and the Baltimore Sun recognized Gut it to the Studs, from her most recent album, as one of "30 Songs that Defined 2017."
The Pioneer Valley is fortunate to have an opportunity to hear this talented and rising star. Catch Letitia VanSant performing at the March 3 Song & Story Swap.
