Bristol Folk Singer Allysen Callery and Ryan Lee Crosby Perform at Dartmouth Grange

BRISTOL, RI—Alternative folk artist Allysen Callery, who's from Bristol, will perform this coming Saturday at the Dartmouth Grange. She'll be appearing in the Paskamansett Concert Series with Ryan Lee Crosby, of Boston.

Callery is known for her "intricate and unique fingerstyle method of playing guitar, and a voice that has been called mesmerizing and angelic," organizers say. "Listening to Allysen Callery sing with your eyes closed is like standing in the middle of swirling autumn leaves, smelling salt air laced with cinnamon and tangerines."

The show is Saturday, Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. The doors open at 7 p.m. at 1133 Fisher Road, Dartmouth, Mass.

"Growing up in New England, she was heavily influenced by her parents' British Folk Revival records of the late 60's and early 70's, but her captivating lyrics and beautiful vocals are all her own, earning her a place at the forefront of the "ghost folk" genre," according to the press release.

"Callery's new CD/vinyl release "The Song the Songbird Sings" features tightly crafted, elegantly performed originals and a stunning Gordon Lightfoot cover. Callery tours yearly throughout New England and in Europe." Don't miss her performance at the intimate and historic Dartmouth Grange Patrons Hall.

General admission tickets cost $15 ($12 for children under 18, seniors 60 and over, and college students); $35 family admission. Bring along dinner or snacks and non-alcoholic beverages if you wish. Tickets available at the door starting at 6:30 pm.

Crosby is an American guitarist, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Boston, Massachusetts. A versatile, exploratory musician with a restless drive to create, Crosby's unique sound is a fusion of American blues and world music influences, performed on 12-string and 20-string guitars. In his time as an active artist, Crosby has produced five albums, three EPs, and a film score. He has performed live across the United States and around the world. His intricate playing, propulsive rhythms, and dynamic vocals create a sound that confronts listeners with an immediacy rarely found in the work of traditional singer/songwriters.
