The Girls from Away : featuring Nancy Walsh and Caroline Bennett, with special guest Charlie Stokes
Nancy Walsh grew up on the east end of Long Island near the water. She began playing guitar and singing in church at the age of 13. It was the music of John Denver that inspired her to branch out from Christian worship songs. Nancy now resides in Sherman, CT and performs the music of John Denver, Nanci Griffith, Kate Wolf, and other folk singers. She has also written several songs about family and the New England coast. Nancy performs weekly at the JCC open mic and has played at local events/venues like the Bridgewater Fair, Merryall Center, and the Painted Lemon. She was also involved in co-hosting the Sherman Song Swap for many years.
Caroline Bennett has received awards and recognition for her Gaelic singing, songwriting and poetry, in local Mòd competitions as well as the Royal National Mòd in Scotland. Her original songs are currently being featured on a new BBC program series, hosted by Gillebride MacMillan, highlighting current generation singer-songwriters who are writing new songs in Gaelic, Caroline has a very special ability to create songs and poems in the bardic tradition of Scotland and is passionate about bringing to life, voices of the past as well as bringing new music to the Gaelic culture.
Charlie Stokes got his first guitar when he was 14. A year later he was in his first folk-singing group. In college he recorded a record and toured across the country with ‘The Folk Sound’ performing his first John Denver Songs, ‘Jet Plane’ and ‘For Baby, For Bobbie.’ A life-long John Denver fan, Charlie now sings with Pat Walker in their group, Cover to Cover
