Description

Songwriter, entertainer extraordinaire, Peter Mulvey joins us again in late February with Danielle Ate The Sandwich for an evening of stories & music up on the hill. It has been marvelous to watch Peter develop over these last 10 years.

Event Details

Mulvey is an iconoclast within the singer/songwriter world. Restless and inventive, he has made seventeen records, spanning rock and roll, folk, Jazz, spoken word, and Americana. A long-standing gig at the National Youth Science Camp led to a spoken word piece, “Vlad the Astrophysicist”, which became a TEDx talk, and then an illustrated book.

In 2015, “Take Down Your Flag”, his song about the victims of the shooting at the AME Emanuel Church in Charleston, reached 200,000 people when many songwriters, including Ani DiFranco, Anais Mitchell, Keb’ Mo, Paula Cole, & Jeff Daniels, re-wrote the middle verse and posted their own videos of the song. This movement led to an online benefit concert, and a deepening of the friendship between Mulvey and DiFranco. Early in 2016 DiFranco produced “Are You Listening?”, Peter Mulvey’s 17th record, which will be released March 24th on Righteous Babe Records.

We’ve been lucky enough to have him through the house numerous times over the years and each concert is better than the last.

ll our guests bring something to share – either a beverage or an appetizer. Doors open 45 minutes prior to the concert.
