Bernice (shown here at Puppeteers of America National Festival,
August 5-10 in Swarthmore PA) will be 100 years young in October. She
is a tireless puppeteer, singer, storyteller, and all-round great
person. We'll be celebrating Bernice at dinner on Saturday. Peoples Voice Cafe will honor Bernice at a concert on Saturday 12 October. Puppeteers of America have a Bernice Silver Appreciation Society At 97, Bernice went kayaking for the first time. And here, Bernice performs one of her signature songs: Anne Boleyn. |
Note: The Downhill Strugglers had to cancel their appearance. We are happy to have Bruce Hutton (see below) joining us in their stead.

Alice Backer Alice was classically trained in violin but, once she was exposed to Scottish and Bluegrass music, her violin suddenly turned into a fiddle and has remained that way since. She has performed Scottish music and has also taught her popular Scottish/Bluegrass Fiddle Connection workshop in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and throughout Scotland. She is in high demand as a dance musician, music teacher, and workshop leader in a variety of musical styles. Alice is also a versatile lead and harmony singer who enriches any group she sings with. |

Erica Weiss Steeped in traditional music and dance from an early age, Erica enjoyed eight childhood years in the Ukrainian Dnipro Dancers performing troupe in NYC. In college, she was a member and conductor of the Yale Slavic Chorus. In the '90s, she fell head over heels in love with Appalachian fiddle music, and knew she had to play it. At about the same time, she started hitting the dance halls to learn Cajun and Zydeco dance. With many trips to Louisiana and other points south, and instruction from many of the finest, she dove right into rhythm guitar, fiddle, song and dance, and has since had the opportunity to play with some of today's most exciting musicians. Erica will be our Dance Caller. Erica's website. |
