5. SENSIBLE SHOES TO PERFORM IN PROCTORSVILLE
Note: This week’s concert, July 31, features Yankee Chank and is sponsored by Glimmerstone Mansion Inn.

The Cavendish Community and Conservation Association invites everyone to spend an evening listening to the sounds of Sensible Shoes on the Proctorsville Green on Wednesday, August 7th at 6:00 p.m. sponsored by the Cavendish Snow Fleas and by Singleton’s General Store.

ASCAP award-winning songwriter, keyboard player and singer Barbara Blaisdell brings her powerful New Orleans-inspired rhythm piano to the stage.  Lead guitarist and singer Tim Utt is widely known as one of Vermont's most gifted players.  Pooh Sprague, on bass, guitar and vocals, is a musical master who has played with the Shoes for years.  Drummer and singer Steve Drebber, a member of Vermont rock royalty, splits his time with the Shoes and his popular jam band, Dr. Jones.  Sensible Shoes has placed original music in several major motion pictures including “Philadelphia” and “The Manchurian Candidate.”

This will be the sixth of seven concerts that are held on consecutive Wednesday nights in July and August.  The last concert will be held on August 14th when Rick Redington will play.

CCCA encourages all area residents and visitors to join their friends and neighbors in front of the gazebo on the green.  Bring a blanket or a comfortable chair, have a picnic, or just lay back and relax on the grass.  It’s a fun way to enjoy the summer weather and either reconnect with old friends or make new ones. 

As always, the concerts are free and open to all.
