Rock out with friends at Walker Farm

WESTON- Weston Playhouse Theatre Company presents its Walker Farm Music Series, back for its second year. Join nationally-recognized musicians at Walker Farm on January 18, February 1, February 22, and March 14 at 7:30 pm and rock out with friends new and old.
All Walker Farm Music shows are “Pay what you will” events.
First in the series on January 18 is Kat Wright, whose voice is both sultry and dynamic, delicate yet powerful, gritty but nuanced, and has been described as “a young Bonnie Raitt meets Amy Winehouse.” Add to that voice enough stage presence to tame lions, and the combination of feline ferocity proves immediately enchanting. There’s soul flowing in and out of her rock ‘n’ roll with a serpentine seduction. Some of soul music’s sweet, grand dames belt, shout, seethe, and succumb, while Wright sings gently like a heartache’s apology. It’s funky in spots and beautiful all over.
Next in the line-up is Carrie Nation & The Speakeasy, a high-energy blend of brass, folk, and punk with an emphasis on songwriting and live shows. Blazing mandolin and trumpet solos careen over churning drums, acoustic guitar, and standup bass, while vocals deliver thought-provoking lyrics. Check them out on February 1.
Sugartone Brass Band, coming to Weston on February 22, has been funkin’ up the brass band scene in New York City for over a decade. The band got its start in a basement studio in Brooklyn, NY, the summer of 2002. In 2003, they started their first residency on the Upper West Side of Manhattan at the Gin Mill.
Finishing the series on March 14 is Upstate, who first emerged from New York’s Hudson Valley in 2015 with their critically acclaimed debut, “A Remedy.”
