The next Market is June 10th - On stage, lets welcome back Longford Row. Longford Row is one of the best known and loved bands in their home state of Vermont. On stage they create an enchanting atmosphere, using traditional folk instruments and rousing vocals. Longford Row's inspiration comes from the music of Ireland, their pub songs, ballads and traditional fiddle and harp tunes. They also cite influences from artists such as Gordon Bok, The Clancy Brothers, The Dubliners, Paul Brady, Stan Rogers, Silly Wizard and traditional North American Old Time music! They passionately perform each song or tune with a reverence for the past and an eye for keeping traditional music alive and well for the future! The group features native Vermonters; Gerry Feenan and Marshall Paulsen of Richmond, Patrick Mckenzie and Dan Blondin of Burlington and Matt Bean of Georgia. This event is being sponsored by Paula Glasmann, Financial Advisor, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC
