The Red Barn Sessions: Barn Dance!

About this event

Hollywood Farm presents the Red Barn Sessions: Gathering together!

Join us on November 8 for old time traditional music and dance at the Red Barn on Hollywood Farm, where rustic charm and beautiful pastures set the scene for a festive fall night. We open with a concert by Ann Porcella, Gary Wright, and Leah Weiss -- then, Janine Smith leads a fun barn dance!

You are welcome to bring your own picnic and beverages -- light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are available for purchase.

Doors open at 3:30 pm -- music begins at 4 pm. The concert and dance are great for all ages, and happen rain or shine.

With a powerhouse alto compared to Sara Carter and Patsy Cline, Ann Porcella found her own voice singing in church with her pastor father and musical family. A member of the Blue Moon Cowgirls as well as a solo performer, she has delighted audiences in the greater Baltimore/DC area for over 20 years with her sensitive lead singing and perfectly honed harmonies.

Gary Wright & Leah Weiss have been performing as a duo and in various collaborations in their hometown of Annapolis for over 20 years. Drawing from the traditions of Appalachian old-time and country music, their repertoire is a blend of originals, reinvented and traditional songs and tunes, and innovative contemporary covers. Driving fiddle, solid guitar lines, and tight harmony singing are trademarks of their sound.

Ann, Gary, and Leah first began singing together at local music gatherings and then started performing as a trio, They will present a concert of American roots music featuring lush three-part harmonies.

Janine Smith calls square, contra, ceilidh, and community dances in the greater Washington, DC area. She shares her humorous (okay, sometimes goofy) and infectious passion for music and dance generously, allowing you to relax and discover that YOU CAN DANCE! She'll bring you an afternoon of fun dances, squares and circles, and more. She brings the party, whether it's to a local barn dance, or to a dance weekend in the US or internationally. Superpower: "Reading the room" wherever folks are ready to whoop it up!
