Come to Fiddle Day at the Morris Farm on July 8 from noon to 5 p.m.

This event, sponsored by Wiscasset Family Medicine, will be held on the back lawn of the Morris Farm. Concertgoers are invited to bring their lawn chairs or blankets and settle in for a festive day of American country and folk music played by a variety of local fiddlers.

A food concession will be provided by Treat’s of Wiscasset. Old Grey Goose is our host for the day and this year we are excited to have special guest fiddler, Frank Ferrel!

Old Grey Goose plays old-time dance tunes on a variety of acoustic instruments; sings songs of love, work, diversity, and achievement from the vast repertoire of American folk history; and teaches and calls regional dances representing multi-cultural traditions.

Ferrel is widely regarded as a composer. The classic Cape Breton jig, “Spin-N-Glo,” is one of his compositions. He is considered to be one of the leading North American fiddlers performing today. Music critic Scott Alarik referred to Ferrel as “One of the finest living masters,” of that genre.

The Morris Farm at 156 Gardiner Rd. offers a natural amphitheatre like setting surrounded by pastoral beauty, peacefully grazing cows and everything else that goes with a small working dairy farm.

Tickets are available at the door, $8 for adults and $6 for seniors and children 15 and under. Kids 5 and under free.

In case of rain, the show will be moved indoors.

All proceeds from Fiddle Day at the Farm go to support the Morris Farm’s valuable mission. For more information, call 882-4080 or email in-fo@morrisfarm.org.
