“Wildage” is a fall favorite at the Camden Library Coffeehouse, and the trio will return for a musical and entertaining evening on Thursday, November 7, at 7:00 pm. Admission will be $8, and $7 for seniors & students. George Fowler and Will Brown have played together for a number of years at Coastal Maine events. George is on the teaching staff at the Maine Fiddle Camp as well as last year’s Fiddle Camp on Prince Edward Island. His Montville Project has recorded two CDs of Essential New England Contradance Tunes as well as another mixed bag CD of tunes with guests from all around Maine. Will sings and plays various stringed instruments and has recorded with Gordon Bok, Anne Dodson, David Dodson, Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen. Will also plays in the trio Meteora with Kat Logan and Jim Loney.This incarnation of Wildage includes an exciting new addition to midcoast Maine, Baron Collins-Hill. Baron grew up playing the mandolin in Maine and recently graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts with a degree in music performance and ethnomusicology. Versed in traditional fiddle music, bluegrass, and jazz, he is known for his rhythmic experimentation and unique harmonic sense on both the mandolin and the tenor guitar. Baron also plays with fiddler Julia Plumb in their duo Velocipede.
The evening will present a varied mix of tunes, some up tempo, some waltzes, and some airs that are new to the repertoire. You will hear some dance tunes, some with a country twist, some downright Appalachian, and some with a contemporary twist. The melodic three-part riffs have just fallen from the sky into their hands as the have practiced together. There will be memorable songs as well as tunes, most of which will also be new to you.
“This will be a ‘guaranteed great’ concert!” says Will. “ Baron’s youthful energy has woken the sleeping beasts within the old codgers, you might say. Come enjoy the new awakening with us!”
