 Spencer LaJoye is making queer indie folk music for everyone. They are a coast-to-coast singer/songwriter and vocal loop artist with Midwest roots, a classically-trained violinist with an inner theater kid’s love of group choreography, and a student of Americana music with a theology degree hanging in their studio. The 2021 Kerrville Songwriting Competition winner and 2024 Songwriter Serenade winner has been writing and touring their autobiographical folk songs for over a decade, but their viral 2021 anthem “Plowshare Prayer” secured them a permanent place in hearts and households across the world, as well as a peculiar career as a veracious songsmith with an unshakeable pastoral presence. Charming and banter-heavy, Spencer’s performances keep audiences laughing one moment and weeping the next.

Judy Pancoast, a Grammy-nominated Children’s Musician, will bring her special brand of musical fun to our November with her lively, interactive concert of all-original music that will have your kids involved from the first song. If you remember Judy from her Halloween performances here in the past, then you know that her rapport with children is magical, and her energetic personality and clever lyrics make for a concert experience your family will remember for a long time.  Parents are encouraged to join in, too! Find out why New Hampshire’s Hippo Press called Judy a performer that audiences come to see again and again! 

Join us April 18th at 3pm for our next event in the Rhoda Smyth Concert Series. The Fanfare Brass Ensemble presents a performance of Music of Stage and Screen with songs from Annie, Superman, Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music and more.
