A Night of Murder Ballads With Special Guest Emcee Christopher Shaw

A Halloween Benefit Concert for Caffe Lena Folksingers have long enthralled audiences with woeful, spine-tingling ballads recounting murders both real and imaginary. In honor of everyone's favorite creepy holiday, we offer you a whole night of music to die for! From Pretty Polly and Tom Dooley, to The Banks of the Ohio and Down By the Willow Garden, you'll hear tales of dastardly deeds done in the style of bluegrass, Celtic, Appalachian, and more. Plucking at your heartstrings will be Ray Murray and the Bomb Squad, Holly & Evan, the Broken String Band, Lost Radio Rounders, Phil Drum & Sonny Speed of The Resonators, Special Creek Bluegrass Band and The Bentwood Rockers. Special desserts and other treats await you, and, all tricks aside, the proceeds will benefit Caffe Lena so we can keep bringing you the finest folk year round.
