own blend of traditional tunes and storytelling to the 1996 Bluemont Summer Concert series in downtown, historic Culpeper on Sunday, Aug. 6. It is the seventh of nine Sunday evening performances on the green of the old Culpeper Courthouse sponsored by Bluemont Concert Series. Admission is S3 per person. All are welcome.
John McCutcheon’s appealing blend of folk music and down home storytelling has brought him an international reputation and concert bookings as far away as Moscow.
Skillfully wielding half a dozen instruments and often performing his own music, McCutcheon is particularly well known for his prowess on the hammer dulcimer, and has spent years learning and reviving the music of the masters in Appalachia. In his stories about his own family, McCutcheon dispenses folk wisdom for every family and crosses the generation gaps with humor and wit.
McCutcheon has released more than a dozen albums, including a live performance recording made at Wolf Trap. He has been nominated for a Grammy and has received an award for “Instrumentalist of the Year.” Several of his recordings are aimed at a younger audience and McCutcheon has twice won “Children’s Album of the Year” awards.
The concert begins at 7 p.m. on the courthouse lawn in downtown Culpeper. Plan to bring a lawn chair or a blanket; homemade refreshments will be available during the evening prepared by the Culpeper Free Clinic as its own fundraiser.
In bad weather, concerts will be held at the Culpeper High School auditorium. Bluemont Summer concerts offer wonderful door prizes provided by local shopkeepers.
