211 Main StreetGet ready to clap, stomp, and swing your partner! Join us for a lively evening of Americana in two acts. Begin with a soulful seated concert featuring the spirited bluegrass sounds of Audrey Mae, then stay as we clear the floor for a lively square dance where professional caller Liz Slade will guide you through every step with live accompaniment from the band. No experience necessary—just bring your enthusiasm!
Bluegrass Concert & Square Dance with Audrey Mae
The evening has two acts. First, a seated concert with Audrey Mae—a Connecticut bluegrass quartet whose close harmonies and acoustic fire draw from the brother duet tradition. Then the floor opens up for a live-music square dance led by caller Liz Slade, who's been guiding first-timers through their first do-si-do for over forty years.
Ani's Table + Marketplace will be on-site with dinner, or pack a picnic to enjoy on the grounds before the show.

About Audrey Mae Audrey Mae is Peter Winne and Joe Delillo on close two-part harmony, with Joe Lemeris on banjo and Sam McDougle on fiddle and mandolin. A generation apart in age, Winne and Delillo draw from the great brother duet tradition—the Stanley Brothers, the Blue Sky Boys, the Everly Brothers—while sounding entirely like themselves. Named for Delillo's mother, an Alabama belle, the band moves between high-octane drive and something quieter and more lonesome, sometimes within the same song. audreymae.org
