Gathering Time

Returning to Caffe Lena after their acclaimed performance to three packed houses New Year's Eve, Gathering Time is either a rocked-up Peter, Paul & Mary or a co-ed Crosby, Stills & Nash, infused with The Byrds, Joni Mitchell, and a bit of Fairport Convention. Voted "Best of Long Island" of 2011 by the Long Island Press, the head-turning folk-rock harmony trio has been one of the "buzz bands" of the Northeast folk scene for the past three years.
Glen, Hillary & Stuart are known for their seamless vocal blend, memorable melodies, meaningful lyrics and easy-going, fun, stage chemistry. Bob McKillop of MaineFolkMusic.com writes, "Gathering Time ... has perfected two separate but related art forms: three part harmony and having a ball on stage! When they harmonize, some sort of fundamental, cosmic concordance occurs that makes you very happy that you have ears."
The trio has strong roots in traditional folk as well as '60s and '70s folk-rock, and they've been known to sprinkle in some of those classics among their original sets.
The Stray Birds of Pennsylvania have played everywhere from street corners to concert halls. With a lifetime of classical training and a deep love of folk traditions, this trio offers soft, soulful, shimmering arrangements of folk songs new and old.
