Poughkeepsie Chapter: “This is Us” – The Beckers w/ Rich Keyes & Ken Sheehan
November 21, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
The Poughkeepsie Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild is pleased to be featuring “This Is Us” in our monthly Open Mic on Saturday, November 21, 2020 at 7:30pm.
“This is Us” features Carol and Kevin Becker w/ Rich Keyes & Ken Sheehan.
A newly formed musical group, THIS IS US has developed a unique sound that combines breathtaking vocals, instrumental dexterity, and a synergy that comes only from an intimate knowledge of each other’s talents. That sound starts with Kevin’s intricate finger picked guitar, augmented by his impeccable harmonica playing. Carol’s soaring vocals, clear, bright, and pure, stand out when solo and form compelling harmonies with Kevin and Ken’s blending voices. Ken adds the skillful touch of a virtuoso on guitar and it’s all anchored by Rich’s solid rhythms on upright bass and his driving bluegrass-influenced banjo. They feature other instruments as well, notably mountain dulcimer, recorder, bodhran, Appalachian limber horse, and various whistles.
Their repertoire ranges from historical ballads to songs of social significance, from traditional folk songs to compositions by contemporary artists. Original material and instrumentals add to the variety. Their easy manner and relaxed stage presence encourages audience participation, and contribute to their entertaining performances.
