sinister fun on
FRIDAY
the 13th
of November
(that’s this Friday)
Outer Spice Cafe, Plainfield.
About half and half:
Dark Tales from (ahem) legendary storytelling master Tim Jennings,
Hard-Luck Ballads from eclectic music trio Sanctuary Mutts.
This will be the next to last appearance of the Mutts (Tim concertina & vocals, Grant Orenstein guitar, Dave Gaillard standup bass) before next spring, as Dave will be leaving at the end of September for winter quarters.
Tales will include a ghost story Tim tried to tell unsuccessfully for 20 years, before getting this fail-safe version from a 5th grader in Chester Vermont during the mid-eighties. Also, the one about God, the Devil, Death and a whole chicken, from a Mexican ESL student in Chicago at about the same time, a puerile children’s faux-scary story, the first tale Tim and Leanne learned to tell together, and probably one more. Not a kids’ show!
Lots of music, including old ballads, new ballads, instrumentals, and a bunch of westerns, featuring a new-to-us debut. All with a Friday the 13th color. Come if you can.
If you have any social media presence, or a fine RL social presence, please spread the word!
7-9 PM • $10
Outer Spice Cafe 8195 US-2, Plainfield, VT 05667
(on the right as you leave town headed east on Rte 2, across from the gas station on Rte 2, used to be called Maple Valley Cafe.)
Hope to see you there!
