Regretfully, as of July 11, we’re postponing this concert because there’s COVID in the house. We won’t be in the clear in time to host you and it will be too hot outside to relocate to the lawn. We’ll reschedule with G and Hilary and let you know when they’ll be playing. Thanks for understanding.

These two are old friends. You can feel that when you hear them play together.

G Rockwell and Hilary Weitzner studied at the same school in Vermont. She says that G played a role in convincing her to study music in college. He succeeded. Hilary recently graduated from Berkeley School of Music (music therapy). G graduated from New England Conservatory of Music in June. While it’s clear that G is committed to composing and performing, Hilary keeps showing up with her fiddle, playing with remarkable musicians who happen to be friends. While her course of study was music therapy, we really hope she keeps performing with G and others, whatever comes next. Come see why we say so.

Though these two are relatively young, their playing fresh and mature. G won the Fresh Grass banjo competition in 2022. Hilary is at ease improvising in old time, bluegrass, Scandinavian folk, and Celtic traditional style fiddling. And what a voice. G plays guitar and mandolin with the same ease and ability that he brings to banjo. He has three albums under his name, plays a key role in five bands, and has instrumental and vocal credits on other’s albums. His most recent release, Bouyancy, features his songwriting as well.

We can’t predict what they’ll play, but we’re sure you’ll hear amazing music.

Hi! John and Laurelyn here.

We have a simple aim in mind: live a little more each day in such a way that when we die, we have few regrets. Not a life of more, but a life that is rich, deep, and connected to people, those we love and whoever we encounter.

Take a look at Laurelyn’s art and consider joining us for a house concert.
