The Dance Hall is excited to host the 20th Annual David Surette Mandolin Festival Friday Night "Kickoff Concert" featuring festival teachers and special guests:

Californian Marla Fibish is known for her fluid and beautiful mandolin and mandola playing, in both her original tunes and those in the Irish repertoire.

Skip Gorman is one of the country’s leading teachers and players of Bill Monroe-style bluegrass mandolin, a masterful cowboy singer and fiddler.

Newfoundland native Keith Murphy is a treasure trove of songs and tunes of Eastern Canada, as well as original tunes, all played in his lyrical and rhythmic style.

Steve Roy plays in a wide variety of styles on mandolin, bass, guitar and ukulele. Drive, enthusiasm and improvisation are hallmarks of his playing.

David Surette’s wife and playing partner of 35 years Susie Burke and their daughters Isa and Julianna Burke, who are helping to organize this event, will perform at both concerts and be there to lend a hand, musically and otherwise, throughout the weekend.
