Last Fair Deal in Concert



Branford Folk Coffeehouse



This season opening concert is a later start than usual for the

Branford Folk Music Society
because of the Rosh Hashanah holiday, but the

wait, as they say, will be more than worth your while. Last Fair Deal's eclecticism

is matched only by the band's virtuoso musical skills and unbounded creativity.

This renowned Connecticut band redraws the map of American roots music, tapping

a deep reservoir of folk music, old time mountain music, swing, jug band,

bluegrass, rock, and other roots styles, with additional blues, jazz and Celtic

influences. They feature their own original songs as well as imprinting their

own unique style on music from artists as diverse as Bill Monroe, Lennon &

McCartney, Bob Dylan and Nat King Cole.



Last Fair Deal features Paul Howard on vocals, guitar, and

harmonica; Tom Hagymasi on vocals, fiddle, bouzouki and accordion, and Phil

Zimmerman on vocals, mandolin, banjo and autoharp. Last Fair Deal's stellar

musicians have shared the stage with the likes of John Hartford, Doc Watson,

Jonathan Edwards, Aztec Two-Step, and Stephane Grappelli and have performed up

and down the Northeast including such festivals as Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pa.,

Falcon Ridge in Hillsdale, N.Y., and the Connecticut Folk Festival in New

Haven. They've recorded four albums, the latest entitled "True Tales"

featuring 12 original and three re-grooved traditional tunes.

It's been more than five years since their last appearance at

Branford Folk, so join us on Sept. 21 and hear and see why Last Fair Deal

through the years continuously earns praise, as the Farmington Valley Post

aptly noted, for its "...instrumental prowess, impressive vocals... and a

blend of genres bringing something truly unique to the acoustic roots scene."
