Nancy Tucker will join September 5 Song & Story Swap via Zoom

Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.

Viewers may also watch the event via YouTube Livestream beginning at 7pm on September 5.

The featured performer at the September 5 Song & Story Swap will be singer-songwriter-comedienne Nancy Tucker.

Connecticut-based Nancy Tucker is a gifted musician who blends outrageous squeaky clean comedy, spirited guitar instrumentals and moving songs of human experience in her shows for people of all ages.

Nancy is an accomplished guitarist, composer, lyricist and humorist with a lifelong career of live performance and recording for both children and adults. Her music features melodic finger-style guitar compositions, inventive percussion-isms, and lyrical ingenuity.

Her recognitions include First Place/The Composers Forum for the original composition Dance Of The Midnight Mouse; Grand Prize Winner/Connecticut Comedy Festival; and Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award/Connecticut Song Writers Association.

The most recent of Nancy Tucker's seven CDs is the award-winning, clever and zany "Escape of the Slinkys."

Parents' Choice has described Nancy as “an offbeat, original, fizzy, funny, witty delight.”

Register to catch Nancy Tucker perform live over Zoom on September 5.
