Jay and Torsten Peterson will be the featured performers and hosts at Dolly’s Coffeehouse at the First Congregational Church of Blue Hill, Saturday, October 4th 7:00-9:00pm. Jay is a veteran of NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion and has performed on The Grand Ole Opry. His musical selections are mostly songs from bygone eras, the 30’s to the 60’s, in the realms of Classic Country to the Great American Songbook standards. Torsten has been dubbed “the Swedish Aretha Franklin” by a friend and fan. When not teaming up with Jay, Torsten is a member of The Misty Mountain Singers. Together, their repertoire ranges from the likes of Billie Holiday and Hank Williams to Sam Cooke and Amy Winehouse.
The first hour will be open mic, where anyone is welcome to perform: music, mime, poetry, dance, etc. Performers are requested to arrive a few minutes early to sign up. There will be a brief intermission with refreshments, followed by Jay and Torsten.
Donations benefit the Dolly Fisher Emergency Fund, which provides emergency fuel, food, and utility help for households on the Blue Hill Peninsula and informing the public about other available resources. This fun evening is for all ages and will be held downstairs in Fellowship Hall. Admission is by free will offering. FMI: contact 374-2891.
