NORWICH – The Monday Evening Music Club (MEMC) will commemorate 109 years with a free-will offering folk music concert at 7:30 p.m. on Monday at the United Church of Christ.
The program will feature SAMMY award winning musicians Jes Sheldon and P.J. Will, both of whom are local to Chenango County and are members of the band 'Lightkeepers.'
The Lightkeepers performed at the New York State Blues Festival this summer and won SAMMY's Brian Bourke Award for Best New Artist. Sheldon is the band's lead singer and Will plays rhythm guitar.
Also featured at the concert will be well known local musicians Jenni Larchar and Tom Murphy.
MEMC said, "Larchar and Murphy play well-loved music from the great American songbook, with Murphy calling on the Irish music of his youth and Larchar calling on the fiddle from hers, for a repertoire that includes vintage Country Western swing, from “Hey, Good-Lookin” to “The Tennessee Waltz.”"
