| February 3, 2008: Bill Staines | ||
 Much to the delight of local fans, Bill Staines is back for his 36th consecutive performance in Woods Hole. Since the Cambridge folk scene in the early 1960's, Bill has been singing his songs at festivals, concert halls, clubs, and coffeehouses across the country. In the 1970's he was named "Boston's best performer" by the Phoenix, and a decade later, "favorite performer" by the Reader's Poll of The Boston Globe. He continues to perform close to 200 concerts a year. His radio and TV appearances include "A Prairie Home Companion" and a host of other PBS and network programs. Staines has recorded twenty-two of his own albums, and many of his songs have been recorded by other prominent artists.
We're not sure whether it's the traditional folk tunes, contemporary ballads, original songs, gentle humor, or simply the impromptu dialogues between Bill and his audience. But here's a hint: arrive early to get a seat for this annual tradition. For more info visit: http://www.acousticmusic.com/staines/ |
