The TFMS continues its outstanding series of performances with a house concert featuring American folk musician, Jeff Warner. Let this amazingly versatile and accomplished musician take the January chill off in the cozy setting of Clarke and Alice's living-room.

Something of an American folk tradition himself, Warner performs traditional American folk music connecting 21st century audiences with the music and everyday lives of 19th century people. His parents, Anne and Frank Warner, were pioneer collectors of songs from rural America from 1938 to 1969. We can expect great variety -  from Revolutionary War songs and African-American banjo ditties to Irish-American concertina tunes and more.

Warner incorporates hands-on accessible rhythm instruments like bones and spoons as he performs everything from the work songs sung aboard wooden ships to the ballads of old New Hampshire.

Warner has worked to preserve the work of his parents, whom he accompanied on musical research trips when he was a child in the 1950s. He helped his mother produce her 1984 book, "Traditional American Folk Songs: From the Anne and Frank Warner Collection," and created a two-volume collection of his parents' recordings that features the actual voices of singers born between 1860 and 1900, recorded on early disc recorders.

Warner's 1995 recording "Two Little Boys: More Old Time Songs for Kids," received a Parents' Choice Award.
