Free concert with Tom Fisch
-
Tom Fisch returns to FENCE on Sunday, November 17th at 4pm to perform in the Great Room. This event is free and open to the public.
"Tom Fisch is a songwriter and singer of songs. To describe his music is a bit like describing a favorite recipe- the first ingredient is tasteful acoustic guitar playing. Second, add Tom's smooth vocals. Sprinkle in a dash of humor. Combine with the heart and soul of an eclectic mix of songs from the great American songbook in the folk/country style, and you've cooked up some enjoyable entertainment."

Free concert-Tina and Her Pony
-
Indie Appalachian Folk music project Tina and Her Pony began in Asheville, North Carolina, USA in 2010. Shortly thereafter, she spent two years holed up in the high desert mountain town of Taos, New Mexico becoming one of the iconic artist colony’s most beloved performing acts.
“Even within the world of folk, Tina & Her Pony’s sound can’t be defined within a single culture or concept. What is undeniable, however, is the soul-stirring power of the music itself”.
- Andria Brown, Folk All Y’all
In a soundscape rich in folk and americana offerings Tina and Her Pony stands out with her clarity and freshness. Harmonies, arrangements, lyrics and captivating vocals combine to create something greater than the sum of the pieces which, taken individually, are deceptively straightforward. Her music chronicles complex emotional landscapes with the kind of wisdom and honesty required from roots music in its most distilled and cherished forms. The pandemic brought much change and loss to Tina’s world, and this is reflected in her fresh material, a collection of songs that comprises her newest record, “Marigolds” (2023).
