Friday, June 17:  Bread and Bones : Richard Ruane, Beth Duquette, and Mitch Barron play well-crafted, soulful, rootsy, haunting, and intelligently infectious music. http://www.breadandbones.com

Bread and Bones is a harmony driven acoustic trio that plays original music with a strong traditional-roots foundation. While Richard Ruane plays guitar, mandolin, 5 string or tenor banjo and ukulele, Mitch Barron adds his wonderful presence on fretless and upright bass.In addition to their original music, they also perform traditional songs from America and the British Isles, songs by other songwriters and a few jazz standards. Beth Duquette completes the trio with a rich alto that weaves through the music. All three members contribute lead and harmony vocals.They were selected for the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s 2009 Emerging Artist Showcase. Their CD “I Know Stories” was named Vermont’s Best Traditional Album of 2008. Ruane was a finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition, the Great Waters Music Festival Songwriter Contest and the Plowshares Coffeehouse Singer-Songwriter Competition. He was an award winner at the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest and the SolarFest Songwriter Showcase.

 Ruane’s songwriting has been compared at times to Richard Shindell, Richard Thompson and John Gorka. The sound of their harmonies has been compared to Richard and Linda Thompson.

Please welcome Bread and Bones back to Grace. Performance time is 7:30 PM on Friday, June 17.
