Plenty of places to celebrate dodging the brunt of Sandy this weekend, starting with Easton’s First Friday Gallery Walk from 5 to 9 pm. Don’t miss the “Fur, Feathers & Scales,” Talbot County Visual Arts Center Members Show and Sale opening Friday and running through the month of November, which celebrates the upcoming Waterfowl Festival, Nov. 9, 10 and 11.
Fans of Americana/folk and well crafted songs should get tickets now for Grammy-winning singer songwriter Nanci Griffith at the Avalon Friday night. She has always been hard to categorize, a combination of 60s folk, Texas country, a hint of pop overlayed by more than a hint of rebelliousness (which may be her greatest appeal). Opening up for her are regional favorites Pete and Maura Kennedy, ““Byrdsy jangle, boy-girl harmonies…irresistible” (Rolling Stone).
Saturday is the much-anticipated OysterFest at Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, with plenty of family activities along with the live music, boat rides, cooking demos and oyster stew contest.
Looking ahead-Monday night the NightCat hosts Grammy nominated David Mayfield and his band. Formerly of Cadillac Sky, he has become an Avett Bros favorite and a rising star in his own right. As they say, catch him now while he is still playing small, intimate venues.
