SUMMARY:Music on Maple with Tristan Dougherty Trio
DESCRIPTION:Our first Music on Maple concert of the year will be on May 2nd\, and the band is the Tristan Dougherty Trio!\n\nTristan Dougherty is a folk musician and songwriter based in Richmond\, Virginia. By combining meditative\, finger-style guitar playing with warm\, illuminative lyrics and innovative arrangements\, he’s developed a refreshingly original sound that draws on indie\, classic country and Appalachian music traditions. Whether performing solo or with his string band\, his work reflects a deep reverence for the craft\, rooted in the belief that live music is essential to keeping our souls awake and our communities connected.\n\nWe are thrilled to have this talented act joining us\, and to also have local favorite Hunter Owens Music playing on set breaks!\nSmall Town Burger will also be set up at this event\, and we’ll be selling beer from Gloucester Brewing Company\, as well as wine\, soft drinks and water!\n\nSponsorship opportunities and tickets are available at the Mathews Visitor Center\, so grab yours quickly\, as this is anticipated to sell out! Individual tickets are $30/ each\, and include one beverage.
