It’s the 26th anniversary of the founding of the Raisin Pickers, the Manchester based string band that's cultivated a loyal following with its deft mix of rustic Appalachian, old time swing, bluegrass, and swamp driven Louisiana music. Carol Wells Palms (string bass, fiddle, vocals) is a classically trained string player who captures the heart of traditional music. Mark Palms (banjo, fiddle, guitar, accordion, vocals) is a composer, player and proponent of traditional music and American musical heritage. David Mosher is on mandolin, fiddle, guitar and vocals, and Billy King plays electric guitar. This concert is part of Gifts of Art’s UMHS Summer Courtyard Concert Series.
