Event Description:
Join us for a concert at Thacher Hall with the Ruth and Ben String Band!
Led by guitarist Ruth Rappaport and her fiddler son, Ben Wetherbee, this intergenerational band's repertoire includes rousing, powerful old-time fiddle tunes and traditional, modern, and original songs that feature tight harmony singing. They are very spirited and people of all ages love their enthusiastic and innovative music. Ruth played for many years in the eclectic string band The Poodles, and Ben has made a mark for himself as a popular old-time, roots rock, and alt music fiddler. Ruth and Ben are joined by Joel Wennerstrom on banjo and Gian Criscitiello on bass.
