WATERFORD — Music Fest: A Celebration of Local Artists, a lively mixture of folk, bluegrass, blues, and jazz from the local area will rock the rafters of the Wilkins House beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, June 6. Area musicians have generously donated their talents to raise funds for the Waterford Emergency Fuel Fund, which provides oil, propane, K1 or wood to Waterford residents in emergency situations. A donation of $10 per person is suggested.
The event brings six talented performance acts to the Wilkins stage. They include Colin Holme’s bluegrass group, Skip Green and his group Waterford Slim and Friends’ brand of blues, Don Chase and the Maine-iac Mountaineers featuring old-time music—bluegrass, country, and folk, singer-songwriter Davy Sturtevant, the unique jazz of Bill Mead and Jun Hou’s Springwater Music, and high school vocalist Shannon Fillebrown, recent winner of the Lakes Region’s Got Talent Contest. Waterford musician and educator Jane Morse will serve as mistress of ceremonies and lead the audience in a sing-along at the close. Morse called the talent pool from Waterford and the surrounding area “very rich.”
Music Fest is sponsored by The Waterford Congregation Church. The event is being held next door to the Church at the Wilkins House, 19 Plummer Hill Road. There will be an intermission and refreshments will be available. When this event was held two years ago, the musicians played to a packed and highly receptive house.
