SHERBURNE – On Wednesday, the Sherburne Rotary will present the fourth concert of its Music in the Park series, featuring Annie and the Hedonists.
Led by vocalist Annie Rosen, whose voice has been labeled both honey-sweet and sultry, the Hedonists play the gamut of American roots music -- folk, gospel, early jazz, blues, torch songs, and even something that sounds like bluegrass. Although Annie and the Hedonists have been playing together in New York’s capital region for more than 15 years, they’ve only recently increased their touring schedule and gained a wider reputation as an exciting band with high-energy, tight harmonies, and creative arrangements. In recent years, they have been featured at festivals throughout the Northeast, including GottaGetGone, Turtle Hill, and the Old Songs.
In addition to Annie, the Hedonists include Annie's husband Jonnie on lead guitar, multi-instrumentalist Steve Fry – who plays the mandolin, guitar, keyboards, and an occasional flugelhorn– plus Betsy Fry on bass. Annie and her band are devoted to providing, “a little healthy musical pleasure,” to their audience.
