Who Doesn’t Love a Hootenanny?
Join the Friends of the Bedford Council on Aging (FBCOA) on Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 11:00 am and raise your voice and spirit with Howie & Mel to celebrate many of our familiar and favorite folk music and folk rock classics.
Howie Rashba and Mel Green have delighted local audiences with their warmth and music and recently performed at the New England Folk Festival in April 2024. Whether you are a seasoned Hootenanny fan or experiencing one for the first time, this is your opportunity to share in a spirited tradition.
Hootenanny is a term with Scotch-Irish roots that found its way to Appalachia before being popularized in the 1940s by folk legends like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Songs including This Land is Your Land
and If I Had a Hammer, Blowing in the Wind, Mr.Tambourine Man, and countless others, have stood the test of time, bringing joy and inspiration to audiences for generations.
Come sing along, clap your hands, stomp your feet, and brighten your day on Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 11:00 AM in the Parish Hall of St. Michael’s Church, 90 Concord Road, Bedford. The venue is handicapped accessible, admission is free, parking is plentiful, and light refreshments will be provided.
