rooted in folk music / powered by carrot cake
A note to Homegrown fans -- We've been using a new ticket service that offers better value in this challenging economy. Brown Paper Tickets has given us great service, an option to get paper tickets (which make really good gifts), and they charge only half of what our previous service charged.

“Baseball,” and “Mark Twain.” Reinmar Seidler, who has recorded alongside Jay Ungar, Matt Glaser and Jacqueline Schwab for three of Ken Burns' shows, is at the forefront of a new generation of string players who delight in a wide variety of playing styles. Critics have called Seidler “A player of flamboyant technique and substantial personality…” (Boston Globe). The 
Globe said of New Rigged Ship, “Their sound exists where art, music and tradition intermingle; their treatments of Scottish fiddle tunes are both elegant and complex, emotionally raw-boned and rippling with compositional intelligence.” 
He's the self-styled "hardest working man in folk business" and one of the most respected singer-songwriters on the folk circuit. His characters are engrossing, his musicianship so solid that he’s in demand as a sideman for other top touring musicians, and when he’s singing about tough issues like war, love, and post-9/11 America, he makes his case with clarity and conviction. Some reviewers are even willing to call him the heir to the likes of Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. We’re not a church basement, but we are a Coffeehouse, and we’re delighted to present this hard-working folksinger in his natural habitat. We're back at First Parish UU, after being graciouslly hosted by the folks at Carter Memorial United Methodist Church all last season. Our new space is beautiful, comfortable, with much improved handicapped access.
Shows starts at 8:00 p.m. Tickets for all shows will be available online. Remaining tickets are sold at the door beginning about 7:30 p.m.
