Rob Flax possesses a rare combination of skills: he is an award-winning virtuoso violinist, classically trained but known for his jazz and improvisational pyrotechnics and irresistible grooves; he is also a powerhouse vocalist, capable of silky crooning a la Nat King Cole or visceral Chicago blues shouts.Rob has performed nationally and internationally with groups of many different styles, sharing the stage with artists such as B.B. King, Tower of Power, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Jacob Collier, and many others.
Slava Tolstoy is a Boston based guitarist, singer and producer, originally from St. Petersburg Russia. Slava’s original songs are best described as energetic pop-rock with tight arrangements, virtuoso soloing and deep and meaningful lyrics in the best traditions of Russian rock. World class musicians, including Grammy winners and nominees were carefully selected to play in Slava’s band and on his latest studio album - “Songs About the Sea” (Песни Про Море).
Noah Harrington is an award-winning bassist, composer, bandleader, and educator from Lexington, Massachusetts. He is a 2019 graduate of the Berklee College of Music, with a degree in Bass Performance (Cum Laude). Harrington’s musical journey has taken him across the country and as far afield as Peru. Since 2019 Harrington has led the band “Acoustic Nomads,” blending music from North and South America to create soaring original melodies, playful improvisations, and driving grooves.
Together, the three string-wielding maestros have forged a powerful group dynamic, developed over years of gigging and concerts, and the result is an interplay that will bring a smile to your face!

John Doyle & Mick McAuley
Tickets HERE

It is our great honor to welcome John Doyle & Mick McAuley to our stage. John Doyle's concerts in the area with renowned fiddler Liz Carrol as well as may other noted artists always brought the house down.
To have John and Mick on our stage together is such a treat!
From a musical family in Dublin, John Doyle's influences include well known English folk singers Nic Jones, Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson, and The Watersons; Scottish singers Dick Gaughan and John Martin; and fellow Irishmen Paul Brady and Al O’Donnell as well as his father, Sean Doyle - probably the biggest influence of all. John went on the road as a pro at 16 with the group Chanting House which he formed with Susan McKeown and which eventually included such great players as Seamus Egan, Eileen Ivers, & Donogh Hennessy. John went on to form the highly acclaimed super group, Solas, with Seamus Egan, John Williams, Karan Casey and Winifred Horan which took the folk and Celtic music worlds by storm, in no small part due to John’s powerhouse rhythmic guitar style and innovative arrangements. As a member of Solas, John performed to sold out audiences nationally and internationally as well as appearing on many national TV and radio programs: NBC’s The Today Show, various programs for National Public Radio and Public Radio International, A Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage, E-Town and World Cafe as part of that critically acclaimed group, he also received three NAIRD awards and a Grammy nomination for the band’s self-titled first recording.
Mick McAuley is an Irish musician, composer and songwriter who has recorded and toured internationally for many years. While his music is rooted firmly in the Irish tradition, he has been part of a movement which continues to push the musical boundaries of that tradition to bring Irish music to a wider and more diverse audience around the world. As a long-time member of the Irish-American ensemble SOLAS, he has recorded and toured nine albums with them and received widespread international acclaim. Mick grew up in Ireland in the embrace of a large musical family supported and nurtured by a community of older musicians who gave freely of their time, talent and music to ensure the passing down of that centuries-old cultural tradition. By his teens, he was also seeking out more contemporary singers and musicians. He played with Ron Kavana (Alias Band), Terry Woods (Sweeneys Men, The Pogues) and Paddy Keenan (The Bothy Band) while in London in the early '90's and began to tour at that time with the acclaimed Irish folk singer Niamh Parsons.
A multi-instrumentalist, Mick plays accordion, melodeon, concertina, whistles and guitar and has been a guest on many recordings and performances including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Patti Larkin, Paul Brennan (Clannad), Susan McKeown and Mick Hanly among many others. Since 2015, Mick plays melodeons for 17-time Grammy winner STING in his autobiographical theatre production "The Last Ship".
Music starts at 7:30 for two sets with a short intermission. Homemade refreshments will be available.

Caitlin Canty
Tickets HERE

Join us as we welcome Caitlin Canty back to the Burnham Presents stage!
“A beautiful voice both strong and deliberate. Her stage presence is radiant and her songs pack a big lyrical punch” — NO DEPRESSION
Caitlin Canty’s songs harness the grit and spark at the heart of American music, tempered with a voice both haunting and distinct.
Since the release of her critically-acclaimed Reckless Skyline in 2015, Canty has put thousands of miles on her songs, touring throughout the U.S. and Europe. She won the Telluride Troubadour songwriting competition at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2015.
Her song, “Get Up,” was nominated for Song of the Year in the Folk Alliance International Music Awards and was featured on NPR Music’s, “Songs We Love.” Her songs have appeared in film and TV, including Code Black, House of Cards, Money Heist, and Rebuilding, and have garnered over 40 million streams on Spotify alone.
A Proctor,Vermont native, Caitlin Canty returned home to the Green Mountain state a few years ago after several years in Nashville.
Her career continues to grow and blossom. She'll be releasing a new album this fall, Night Owl Envies Mourning Dove.
From Folk Alley~"An exquisitely cinematic writer, she captures in a single scene the spacious splendors of trees, meadows, and mountains as the backdrop for the passionate yearnings of innocence and the tempered emotional wistfulness of experience. The title of her forthcoming album, Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove, out on October 2, 2025, perfectly conveys the moment when wisdom, sometimes jaded and weary, meets wide-eyed wonder."

Garnet Rogers
Tickets HERE

We are looking forward to welcoming the great Garnet Rogers to the Burnham Presents stage! There was a time when Garnet would make an annual pilgrimage to Addison County to play at The After Dark Music Series in Middlebury hosted by Carol & Harvey Green. It's been a number of years since then and we are thrilled that he'll be joining us in Lincoln.
By the time he was barely out of high school, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music.
Since then, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match.
With his “smooth, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere.
His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record).
An optimist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again.

Hildaland

Tickets HERE

We welcome Louise Bichan and Ethan Setiawan to the Burnham Presents stage!
Orkney (Scotland) born fiddler Louise Bichan and Indiana (USA) mandolinist Ethan Setiawan present a collaboration and meeting of their musical worlds in Hildaland.
A path steeped in the fiddle traditions of their respective sides of the Atlantic, the journey taken wends through Scottish and American soil, celebrating their foundations while intertwining with contemporary composition.
Bichan’s fiddle is a melodic foil to Setiawan’s counterpoint and harmonic depth, and the two weave in and out seamlessly.
Setiawan has won such accolades as the 2014 National Mandolin Championship, the 2017 RockyGrass Mandolin Championship and has shared the stage with the likes of Julian Lage, Darrell Scott, Bryan Sutton, Mike Marshall, Tony Trischka, Darol Anger, Casey Driessen, the Steel Wheels, Don Stiernberg, Matt Flinner, and Jacob Jolliff.
Bichan has won awards for her compositions and playing, and has travelled far and wide to perform in various line ups since a young age. She has appeared at the likes of the BBC TV's Hogmanay Live show, Edinburgh Castle, Reading Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Lorient Interceltique Festival, Milwaukee Irish Festival and Sligo Live festival. In 2016 she released her first solo album, Out of My Own Light, to great acclaim.
Opening the concert will be Eli Glasser and Henry Kervick.
Glasser is pianist, fiddler and member of the VT Youth Orchestra,
Henry Kervick plays fiddle and has a special passion for Scandinavian music. They are both part of the touring ensemble Sugar in the Pan, which will bring its wide repertoire of traditional music to Washington, DC for Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Both Sugar in the Pan and the Touring Group are dedicated to nurturing young people who are engaged with traditional music.
Music starts at 7:30 for two sets with a short intermission. Homemade refreshments will be available.
