NEWPORT — The dynamic vocal ensemble The Starry Mountain Singers will be performing on Saturday in Newport. If you enjoy traditional music, powerful singing and entertaining stories, don’t miss this show.
The Starry Mountain Singers are an ensemble of eight vocalists who perform a wide range of traditional music from around the United States and abroad. The group’s members are all lifelong musicians who share a deep love of traditional vocal styles and a dedication to studying and performing them.
All the members of the Starry Mountain Singers have toured extensively with the Vermont-based world-music ensembles Northern Harmony and Village Harmony, where they received an introduction to traditional songs and singing styles from around the world.
In addition, members of the ensemble have worked with Meredith Monk and the Revels International, have performed on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion and Mountain Stage, and include three members of the Brooklyn-based country band, The Sweetback Sisters.
