OTISFIELD — The Don Roy Trio will perform at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 14, at the the Bell Hill Meetinghouse.
Organizers say the meetinghouse at 191 Bell Hill Road, off Route 121, is becoming a popular venue for jazz and traditional music this summer.
According to information from the event organizers, Don Roy, who calls himself a traditional fiddler, also plays guitar, mandolin and banjo. He has been called the finest Franco-American fiddler in New England.
Roy has won many music awards and one of his CDs was nominated for the National Heritage Award. He has performed at the Library of Congress, Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.
The other members of the trio are pianist/step dancer Cindy Roy and bassist Joy Young. Those attending can expect to hear musical echoes from Quebec, Ireland, Maine, and the Maritimes.
Tickets are $13 at the door or $10 plus handling if purchased in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com. Refreshments will be served at the intermission.
The concert will benefit the Meetinghouse Restoration Fund. The 1839 meetinghouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is owned and maintained by the Bell Hill Meetinghouse Association, a 501(c)(3) organization.
The Old Town House at 53 Bell Hill Road will also be opened July 14 from 4 to 6 p.m. for strawberry shortcake and a look at the progress being made as the Otisfield Historical Society continues its restoration of its headquarters building.
