The Performers
No Reply is a unique six-piece Beatles cover band performing songs from every era and album of the Beatles short yet storied career. Setting them apart from other tribute and cover bands is their amazing attention to detail in reproducing both the music and the vocal harmonies, which are perhaps the best around. Everything they play is performed completely live, something they are very proud of.
An indie rock band with Dedham ties, Magic Magic comes to MusicFest after playing several gigs in England . Let’s welcome them home!
Inchicore takes its name from the district of Dublin where founding member Derrick Keane is from. The band wraps its wide range of influences and abilities around a Celtic/Irish center, producing a very melodic and very rhythmic result.
Heralded by Sing Out! magazine as “one of the leading singer-songwriters on the current scene,” Jud has won eight nationally recognized songwriting contests, including the Boston Folk Festival. His song “Blackberry Time” is taught in the songwriting curriculum at the Berklee College of Music. A multi-instrumentalist from an early age, Jud wandered through jazz bands, orchestras and medieval ensembles before finding his home on the acoustic guitar.
Fran is a recipient of a Gold Award from the Parents’ Choice, the nation’s oldest nonprofit guide to quality children’s media and toys. She recently released her latest CD, “Big Blue Sky.” Her four previously released CDs have all won national awards. Fran’s concerts entertain a broad range of ages, from bouncy babies to fabulous fourth-graders.
