**Abstract – for Local Briefs**

**Lisa Gaughran** (guitar and vocals) and **Paul Newlin** (guitar, fiddle, and vocals)  get their musical inspiration from the songbook of John Prine, Nanci Griffith, Gillian Welch/Dave Rawlings, and other familiar favorites of the Valley folk scene.  Lisa is also a member of *Green Street Brew*, an acapella standards group, while Paul brings a bluegrass influence to their music.  Their love for harmony singing comes out loud and clear in their duo performances.

**Walt Burnham** (acoustic guitar, piano) is a singer-songwriter from Montague who has played in the *Box Shop Blues* and solo performances in the Valley for years. With more than 100 songs written mostly in the folk style, he sings of local and national issues, lost love, and the times we live in. He will be accompanied on guitar and harmony by **Mitch Mulholland.**

Open Mic musicians and other performers of all types are welcomed.
