    Mainstage Concert

    Mary Fahl,

    formerly of October Project,

    with Band

    Saturday, April 13, 2024

    7:30pm

    Walton Theatre

    30 Gardiner St., Walton, NY

    Music on the Delaware is excited to have Mary Fahl and her band perform in concert on the mainstage at the historic Walton Theatre on April 13th at7:30pm.

     

    Mary Fahl is an expressive, emotional singer/songwriter who first achieved fame as lead singer and co-founder of the mid-1990s NYC-based chamber-pop group October Project, a band known for their lush harmonies, sweeping melodies and Fahl’s unique and powerful vocals. After two records on Epic, the band disbanded and Fahl had more freedom to pursue her own muse, whether that meant writing and recording songs for movies (including the theme for the Civil War epic “Gods and Generals”), singing arias and medieval Spanish songs for Sony Classical or releasing a unique album-length take on “Dark Side of the Moon”.

     

    Over the past few years, she’s been touring and recording on her own label, Rimar Records, and her recent releases have garnered awards including an Indie Acoustic Award for Best Live Album for “Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera House” (filmed for PBS) and a 2020 Independent Music Award for her holiday album, “Winter Songs and Carols”. Her Blu-ray 5.1 surround DVD, “From the Dark Side of the Moon”, brilliantly mixed by Bob Clearmountain, won the 2021 Immersive Album Audio Listener’s Choice award, and was named “Immersive Album of the Year” by Life in Surround.

     

    Now she returns with “Can’t Get It Out of My Head.” In an effort to find some light and comfort during these challenging times, singer/songwriter Fahl looks back to some of the essential music that has brought her sustenance and clarity by reinterpreting songs from her greatest inspirations… Pink Floyd, George Harrison, Moody Blues, ELO, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and others. For Mary, this is a tribute to the music that defined her as an artist.

     

    Tickets can be purchased for this in-person and livestreamed concert on the Music on the Delaware website (www.musiconthedelaware.org) and at select retailers.

     

    There will be a brief intermission and an opportunityto win door prizes.

    Mainstage Concert

    Della Mae

    Saturday, May 11, 2024

    7:30pm

    Walton Theatre

    30 Gardiner St., Walton, NY

     Music on the Delaware is excited about bringing the popular bluegrass band, Della Mae, to the Walton Theatre on Saturday, May 11, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. This concert was rescheduled from November 2023. If you already purchased a ticket, it will be honored at this rescheduled date. If you already purchased a ticket, but this date doesn't work for you, it will be honored for admission to any other concert.

     

    Della Mae is a GRAMMY-nominated all-woman string band founded by lead vocalist/guitarist Celia Woodsmith and 2-time Grand National champion fiddle player Kimber Ludiker. Rounding out the current touring lineup are guitarist Avril Smith, and bassist Vickie Vaughn.

     

    From the beginning, the band has been ahead of its time. Because the musicians hail from around North America with experience in diverse musical styles and genres, their performances blend many music traditions. Listeners may hear hints of rock, gospel, funk, swing, or honky tonk, always in a bluegrass vein.

     

    Della Mae’s mission as a band is to showcase top female musicians, and to improve opportunities for women and girls through advocacy, mentorship, programming, and performance. To that end, they have teamed up with the US State Department to visit over 30 other countries spreading peace and understanding through music. “Advocating for women’s rights is the backbone of this band, and we realized that adding public service work to our touring was an important way we could make a difference.”

     

    The band’s first album, I Built This Heart, was released in 2011. In 2014, their album, This World Oft Can Be, was nominatedfor a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album at the 56th Grammy Awards. Their fourth album (2020), Headlight, is dedicated to celebrating powerful trailblazing women. Following up 2020’s Headlight, their new album Family Reunion captures the joy of the band reuniting after more than a year of virtual collaboration, Zooms and group texts.

     

    “Every song on Family Reunion is a little gem of perfection. They shine brightly in all musical facets, with every note in its place but often leading us down unexpected paths.” (Folk Alley).

     

    Della Mae is one of the most charismatic and engaging bands touring today. For more information on the band, see www.dellamae.com or onFacebook.

     

    Tickets are available on line at www.musiconthedelaware.org, and at select area retailers: in Walton, Walton Theatre, Moltomolto and Wayne Bank; in Masonville at Masonville General Store; and in Oneonta, Green Toad Bookstore.
