7:30 — Grayson Ty

Western Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter Grayson Ty has mastered the art of vulnerability. Entirely unpretentious, his stage presence is easy, genuine, and unguarded. In an era of so much disconnection and artifice, Grayson brings audiences together with his honest, heartfelt lyrics, and soulful, soothing voice.

8:15 — Derek Burkins

The Derek Burkins Trio continues to capture praise and new listeners each time they take the stage.  Derek’s fluid guitar and banjo are coupled with an authentic and rich voice, his songs are thoughtful stories about powerful moments in life such as love, family, and coming home.  Add in the bass and backing vocals of Mitch Barron and fiddle of Tim Berry to round out an infectious mix of bluegrassy folk.  Derek's solo album is called “Ten Years and 29 Days."

 
“Burkins combines an emotionally measured, straightforward songwriting style with polished instrumental chops and a powerful, emotive voice.” “He also happens to be blessed with tone and timbre that would be compelling even if he were singing the instruction manual for a smartphone.” – Seven Days VT
