NORWICH – The Monday Evening Music Club (MEMC), now in its 107th year, will be showcasing a Folk Music Concert on Monday, April 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the United Church of Christ in Norwich, where a number of renowned artists both locally and regionally will be performing.

Admission to the concert is free, but free-will donations will be accepted at the door to benefit the MEMC’s music scholarship fund for graduating aspiring musicians.

Among the performers set to take the stage is 2017 “Best Singer/Songwriter” and “Best Folk” SAMMY award winner Lauren Mettler: a versatile multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who incorporates guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, and penny whistle in her original music.

Lauren’s brother J. Mettler – also a SAMMY award winning singer-songwriter – will be performing as well. J. Mettler has spent the past several years touring up and down the east coast with his band ‘Rabbit in the Rye.’

Jes Sheldon – lead singer of the ‘Lightkeepers,’ who were the recipient of the SAMMY Brian Bourke Award for Best New Artist – will be performing alongside Daniel Dunham, an instrumentalist singer who performs with the ‘Woodshed Prophets’: another band that has toured extensively.
