DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 26 for an evening of humorous & heartfelt folk music (and more!) with New York City-based contemporary folk icon Christine Lavin.  \nCalled “wildly entertaining” by The New Yorker\, Ms. Lavin’s songs often blend comedy with social commentary\, ranging from light-hearted to more serious\, introspective pieces. \nAs if her intriguingly engaging music were not enough\, Ms. Lavin will delight ticket holders with an intimate\, onsite pre-show knitting circle! Then\, at intermission\, she’ll present her signature\, must-see Downton Abbey Napkin Folding Tutorial. As Christine herself would say: “Come for the napkin folding; stay for the music!” \nMs. Lavin performs concerts in the United States and internationally. She has received numerous awards including five ASCAP Composer Awards and Album of The Year from the National Association of Independent Record Distributors. Her 26th solo album\, Drum School Dropout\, will be released later this year.  \nBuy tickets at https://newsongbedford.org. Performances take place in the Reed Room at Bedford’s Town Hall – a comfortable 100-seat venue located at 10 Mudge Way in Bedford\, MA. Doors open at 6:45 and the music starts at 7:30.
