FRIDAY NIGHT FESTIVAL in the BARN
Last night we attended another wonderful mountain concert in the open Festival Barn in Brasstown. This one especially grabbed my attention. Hammered and mountain dulcimers accompanied by the bass, autoharp, and guitar delighted the audience for an hour of total enjoyment. Anne Lough, singer, performer, recording artist, and resident instructor at the John Campbell Folk School, opened the show strumming her mountain dulcimer before turning the stage over to Doofus. With a band name like that, I already had a preconceived idea of what the evening was going to bring, but was delightfully surprised when the four members of Doofus performed their lively old-time music. Voices and music blended smoothly as they played lively old-time music, sang songs from Ireland, and selections from Gordon Lightfoot's music.
"Doofus" came about as a token of their affection for each other and the music they make. The two couples are from Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
