Parish Hall Open Stage will present Tom Smith, Massachusetts folk troubadour and songwriter on Friday as part of the town’s First Friday celebration.
Smith’s songs are in turns humorous, touching, thought- provoking, and inspiring. Deeply rooted in the old-school folk tradition, his timeless stories may make you laugh and cry in the same song.
Smith’s popular monthly blog is The Kitchen Musician and samples of his music are available at tomsmithmusic.com.
Parish Hall Open Stage festivities at the Peterborough Unitarian Universalist Church begin with performances by local, regional and out-of-state musicians. Spoken word artists are also well received. Any local or regional talent wishing to play on stage need only sign up by 7 p.m. Each artist customarily plays two or three songs before and after the featured performer. There are hot beverages and baked good available to purchase.
Tickets are available at the door, $5 or by donation.
Open mic acts should show up between 7 and 7:30 p.m. and sign-up at the entrance for a performance slot. A piano is available.
Smith, the featured performer, will take the stage at 8:30 p.m.
