The Seymour Sisters started as a couple of friends who got together weekly for dinner and music. Later they played in the Northeast Kingdom during summers on Lake Seymour and then branched out to house concerts. The band features Kate Wolff on dobro, Laura Williams on guitar and lead vocals, Betsy Williams on bass and Beth Spicer on banjo, mandolin and guitar. Specializing in synchronized rhythm and harmony, the friends quartet found music had a healing effect and helped them find and spread joy in difficult times. They play a blend of Bluegrass, Old Time, Gospel and Folk music. They especially enjoy playing tunes by Red Molly and Gillian Welch, as well as their own original compositions.
At the age of nine, Jon Bliss was captivated by Pete Seegers 12 string guitar, and he's never looked back. He loves a good Appalachian murder ballad, a mashup of funk and Americana, and everything in between. Most of all, he looks forward to helping create the living room feel of this November afternoon, sharing songs that shine a light and lead the way.
