NEW SHARON — The Sandy River Ramblers will return to New Sharon 7 p.m. Saturday, May 26, at the Brick Church, 21 Cape Cod Hill Road, bringing their Maine-flavored bluegrass show with them.
The Brick Church concert series benefits the New Sharon Church UCC.
The five-piece band is known for vocal harmonies, instrumental playing and songwriting. Stan Keach, guitarist and chief songwriter of the group, is a nationally known bluegrass songwriter, with several national hit songs to his credit. Keach won the Maine Songwriters Association 2017 Song of the Year award.
In addition to songs about Maine, the Ramblers’ repertoire includes fiery instrumentals, bluegrass and country favorites, and plenty of comedy, including a tune played on the musical hand saw.
All the Ramblers sing; the two female vocalists, 15-year-old Dana Reynolds and upright bassist Julie Davenport, have particularly beautiful voices.
Banjoist Bud Godsoe and mandolinist Dan Simons are the instrumental stars.
Tickets are $10 at the door; those under 18 are admitted free.
