Weaving Words Connecting Cultures

Don't miss an all-ages Local Brew Coffeehouse on June 7 when Len Cabral joins Bay Spring Folk for a night of expressive storytelling woven with traditional music. Len Cabral is an internationally-acclaimed storyteller who has been enchanting audiences with his storytelling performances since 1976. Len's strong Cape Verdean ancestry comes alive in his exuberant retelling of original stories  as well as folktales and stories from around the world. Bay Spring Folk plays "eclectic folk" and will weave their music into Len's stories. Songs include great vocal harmonies and fun instrumental work on fiddle, guitars, mandolin, bass, harmonica, recorder, weissenborn and egg. They were a finalist in the Providence Local Band Showcase at the Roots Cultural Center and were nominated for Best Folk Act and Best Americana Album ("Get Yours") in Motif Magazine's 2013 Music Awards. The Providence Journal called their music "thoughtful and whimsical and fun." 
*Doors open at 6:30. Suggested donation is $7 with kids 12 and under free.
