High Strung Strummers
Wednesday, July 24, 2024 at 7:30 p.m.

High Strung Strummers (Cathy Mason and Sarah Jane Nelson) play a mix of Anglo-American ballads, old-time tunes, and stories, often accompanied by a Crankie narrative scroll. Crankies are like the TV of the 1800s. You'll just have to come see for yourself!

Sarah Jane Nelson is a multi-instrumentalist and storyteller. She plays traditional music for folk festivals, New England contra dances, and other regional events. Cathy Mason is a highly accomplished fiddler and music instructor who has spent nearly two decades studying Southern fiddle music with the masters of that tradition.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Waltham Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Cost: $21 General Admission, $19 Gore Place Members and Card to Culture, $16 Students and Children 12 and Under
