Held on the first Thursday of every month, The Singer's Room is a laid-back cabaret that invites music lovers to enjoy good singing in a room that's conducive to nuance, storytelling, and connection. The May 7th program features local and regional performers: your hosts John Harrison and Maggie Fox, along with Aaron Adler. Ira Friedman on keys.
Admission is $5 at the door. Beer and wine will be available for purchase, and you are welcome to bring in something to eat from one of Barre's great take-aways.
Whether you're a singer eager to explore repertoire in a supportive setting or a listener who appreciates the craft of vocal performance up close, The Singer's Room aims to create a welcoming home for expressive, high-quality singing in Central Vermont. Mark your calendars and come enjoy the music!”
