Gordon Kramer will be May 4 Song & Story Swap guest
Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.
Saturday, May 4, 7:00 p.m. at The Nacul Center, 592 Main St., Amherst, Mass (see map).
Singer-songwriter Gordon Kramer will be the featured performer at the May 4 Song & Story Swap.
Gordon Kramer's music reflects a lifetime of evolution through political protest into spirituality, and expresses his deep commitment to helping to heal the Earth. His original songs express the breadth of human experience from outrage to tenderness to joy, often lightening a heavy subject with a humorous slant on the situation.
Playing guitar and keyboard, he performs with the band River Rhapsody, and solo with the support of Rob Peck on harmonica and Devin Griffiths on lead guitar. He is also occasionally a featured soloist with the choral group Rock Voices.
Check out Gordon Kramer's music at https://www.reverbnation.com/gordonkramer/songs and catch him performing at the Song & Story Swap in Amherst on May 4.
The theme this month is Spirit. 
Looking ahead to next month, on June 1 the Song & Story Swap will present Acoustic Beatles Night. Performers are invited to sign up to sing two songs by the Beatles or a former Beatle. Sign up by emailing Paul Kaplan at paulkaplanmusic@gmail.com. Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/events/271059863799762/.

The Song & Story Swap is open to the public, free of charge with donations accepted ($5 - $10 is suggested).
