Featured Performer -- David LaMotte

Fiddlers Green is delighted to welcome singer-songwriter David LaMotte as our feature performer for the April 15 show.  A typical evening of performance with David includes everything from lyrically challenging, high-energy percussive songs in strange alternate tunings to more traditional songs of home, hope and inspiration. He weaves the evening together in a fabric of vivid - often hilarious - stories, and throws in an occasional impressive instrumental piece.  

In the past fourteen years,  David has released eight albums and performed over sixteen hundred shows in forty-five states and ten countries, sharing stages along the way with artists like Arlo Guthrie, Shawn Mullins, Buddy Miles, Gillian Welch, John Gorka, Jez Lowe and David Wilcox.  In addition to performing throughout the U.S. , David tours Europe almost every year.  His three tours to Australia and New Zealand have included mainstage performances at Australia 's National Folk Festival and a spot as the headline act for the 2004 Auckland Folk Festival, the largest folk fest in New Zealand .

 

He was also featured along with Bruce Springsteen, Aimee Mann, Ray Manzarek, Grace Slick and Suzanne Vega on the Songs Inspired By Literature, Chapter 1, a project to benefit adult literacy campaigns. His children's recording, S.S. Bathtub, recently won its fourth national award, and work is in progress on a children's book based on the title track.

 

Aside from being a new husband, touring, promoting his current CD and leading occasional workshops, David's current passion is a new non-profit corporation he has created to aid Guatemalan schools, PEG (Proyecto para las Escuelas Guatemaltecas).

Special Guest: Sheri Kling -- We are very pleased to welcome Sheri Kling back to the Fiddlers Stage.  Sheri is an accomplished singer/songwriter, guitarist and long-time spiritual sojourner whose music—built on rich vocals and dynamic guitar—resonates with a certain organic authenticity that’s heart-rooted and spirit-seeking.   Each song is another way of looking at what is real, what is true, and what invites us all into a more passionate and well-lived life. 

 

With her rich voice and distinctive guitar style, Kling has been heard at such acclaimed venues as Nashville ’s Bluebird Cafe, Atlanta ’s Eddie’s Attic and Variety Playhouse, and many more across the country.  Sheri is also developing new audiences through her “Music & Message” speaking engagements, “keynote concerts” and school-based Arts-in-Education programs, while women are responding enthusiastically to her “Waking Woman” celebrations and workshops.  Visit Sheri's website at www.sherikling.com.
