Spring is here and music is in the air! Come delight in the glory of it this Sunday, March 31 on the porch at Sleder’s! The Dūges will be opening for legendary folk troubadour Bill Stains at 4 pm. Tickets are on sale now.
The Dūges, Garrison Wilson and Doug Moser, are a musical duo whose selections range from classic folk, rock, and pop to Appalachian gospel. Garrison, a student of choral singing, is a recent transplant from the Western Slope of Colorado. Doug has played and sung in local groups for several decades. Backing each other up on guitar, bass, and percussion, The Dūges specialize in following their muse of spirited harmonies — always in the forefront.
As part of Sleder’s “On the Porch” concert series, The Dūges will play an opening set for singer-songwriter Bill Staines.
From the poster:
For more than forty years, Bill has traveled back and forth across North America, singing his songs and delighting audiences at festivals, folksong societies, colleges, concerts, clubs, and coffeehouses. A New England native, from the time in 1971 when a reviewer from the Boston Phoenix stated that he was “simply Boston’s best performer,” Bill has continually appeared on folk music radio listener polls as one of the top all time favorite folk artists.
Now, well into his fifth decade as a folk performer, he has gained an international reputation as a gifted songwriter and performer.
Bill’s music is a slice of Americana, reflecting with the same ease his feelings about the prairie people of the Midwest or the adventures of the Yukon, or the everyday workers that make up this land.
