03/06/2019 11:01 PMJoel Mabus, a maverick in the folk music world who defies any easy pigeonhole, will be the featured artist for the Branford Folk Music Society’s next monthly concert on Saturday, March 9 at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of the First Congregational Church, 1009 Main Street, Branford, on the Branford Green.
Mabus is known in folk circles as an eclectic performer. By turns, he picks a mountain banjo to accompany an ancient ballad, sings a witty song about modern life while plucking on a ukulele, plays a sweet Irish melody on guitar, swings a hot jazz number, and then reaches deep for a soulful expression of values in a troubled world. He tops it all with a fiddle tune or an old Carter family song—all skillfully blended into a seamless flow, accompanied by insightful commentary about the music.
Mabus last appeared on the Branford stage in 2005.
Admission for the concert is $20 for non-members of the society, $17 for members, and $5 for children 12 years and younger. More information is available at 203-488-7715 or hbranfordfolk.org.
