BRIDGTON — The folk act of Bennett & Perkins will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Centennial Hall in Denmark, sponsored by the Loon Echo Land Trust. Proceeds will benefit the Denmark Perley Mills Community Forest’s stewardship expenses.
The duo perform songs with stories and music inspired by everyday lives, lost loves, lost lives and real life adventure, coupled with haunting harmonies and memorable arrangement of vocals and guitar, according to a news release from the land trust.
Their music is a regular feature on New Hampshire Public Radio Folk Show and Maine’s folk radio standard WERU. They have performed on the stages of Cambridge’s famed Club Passim, Stone Mountain Arts Center, Medallion Opera House, Nantucket Atheneum, The Cold River Radio Show, Ossipee Valley Music Festival, and numerous others.
The Denmark Perley Mills Community Forest was created in 2015 after a joint fundraising campaign of Loon Echo Land Trust and the town of Denmark.
The property contains three miles of the Narrow Gauge Trail, a state ITS 89 snowmobile and regional ATV network, as well as Pickerel Pond and Willett Pond.
With many important ecological, recreational and economic features, protecting this parcel as public open space and managed forestland is an asset to the surrounding communities, the trust said. For more information, including ticket costs, visit loonecholandtrust.org.
