Peter Siegel, founding member of The Gaslight Tinkers and Shawn Magee host local seasoned/touring songwriter acts a Sunday every month at the new Marigold in Brattleboro. On February 8th they will be joined by The Early Risers (Ashley Storrow and Putnam Smith). It's an informal round robin with collaborations, original stories and melodies.The Early Risers are a folk duo made up of Ashley Storrow and Putnam Smith. Both rootsy and lyrical, their original songs feature close vocal harmonies and arrangements on a wide array of instruments: banjo, guitar, mandolin, piano, and shruti box. After pursuing separate solo singer/songwriter careers, they joined forces in 2015 and have since toured across the country, from Maine to Texas to California to Vancouver, BC. Their album “Making Life Sweet” went to #1 on the folk DJ charts in Nov, 2019. They have played notable venues such as Club Passim, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and the High Plains Public Radio concert series. Ashley and Putnam put on a unique and remarkable show that lingers in the heart, mind, and imagination, long after the last round of applause.
Shawn Magee is a masterful lyricist with deep musical roots. He was known as a part of the Barbary Ghosts, a well known sea chantey singing band from the west coast. Here in Brattleboro, Shawn has been a prolific songwriter, reflecting on our times. Shawn will be joined by two other local songwriters TBD.
