A glorious evening bringing together Anne Hills, one of the most beloved voices of the contemporary folk music scene, joining perennial favorite David Roth, with his unique songs, offbeat observations, moving stories, sense of the hilarious, and powerful singing and subject matter.
DAVID ROTH strikes many chords, hearts, and minds with his unique songs, offbeat observations, moving stories, sense of the hilarious, and powerful singing and subject matter.
Singer, songwriter, recording artist, keynote speaker, workshop leader and instructor, David has earned top honors at premier songwriter competitions and taken his music, experience, and expertise to a wide variety of stages in this and other countries full-time for three decades.
David’s stunningly lyrical songs have found their way to Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, several Chicken Soup for the Soul books, the Kennedy Center, Peter, Paul, & Mary’s “Discovered” (Warner Brothers), the Kingston Trio’s “Born at the Right Time,” NASA’s Goddard Space Center (“Rocket Science” went up on the Space Shuttle Atlantis’s May 2009 mission to repair the Hubble Telescope). Winner of 4 Positive Music Awards and the 2015 Grace Note (Unity Worldwide) for Outstanding Contribution to New Thought Music,
David teaches at the Augusta Heritage workshops, SummerSongs, Common Ground on the Hill (MD), the Woods Dance & Music Camp (Canada), WUMB’s Summer Acoustic Music Week (NH), Moab Folk Camp (UT), Rowe Center (MA), Pendle Hill (PA), Lamb’s Retreat (MI), the Swannanoa Gathering (NC), the National Wellness Institute (WI), and for many other songwriting groups and associations around the country.
Founder/director of the Cape Cod Songwriters Retreat, he is creator/host of Cape Cod’s “Full Moon Open Mic” which, for 12 years has provided a forum for musicians while at the same time collecting donations ($14,000 to date) for local non-profits to help neighbors in need.
ANNE HILLS: Whether singing her own songs, the words of six-year-old Opal Whiteley, or her song settings of the Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley; whether playing guitar, banjo, or simply a Tibetan bell, Hills puts her whole heart and soul into the musical moment.
She tours extensively, winning over audiences with her warm, lively and humorous performances.
She has received numerous awards and much recognition for her live performances, her unique solo and collaborative recording projects, and her overall artistry.
Recognized as one of folk music’s finest voices, her song “Follow That Road” was the title cut of the Martha’s Vineyard Songwriter Retreat and has long been a certified folk classic. (And if you love her writing, be sure to check out her “Haiku a Day” shared via her Facebook page!)
