SUMMARY:Music at the Barn
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to be able to feature this fine young singer songw
 riter duo from Portland at the barn for the first time.\n\nPutnam Smith\, 
 who hails from Portland\, Maine\, could be an old-world troubadour fresh f
 rom the 19th Century.  After all\, he lives in a log cabin\,  plays his 
 Grandfather’s banjo\, and prints up the jackets of his CDs on an antique
  Letterpress.   Yet this rootsy multi-instrumentalist songwriter (he als
 o writes and performs on guitar\, mandolin\, fretless banjo\, and piano)\,
  steeped as he is in old-time Appalachian traditions\, is very much a stor
 yteller for the modern age.  Putnam first came to national attention with
  his 2009 release\, “Goldrush\,” which  went to #5 on the national Fo
 lk &amp\; Bluegrass DJ Charts (and made it on 6 “Favorite Albums of 2009
 ” lists).  His next release\, “We Could Be Beekeepers” shot right u
 p to #2 the month it was released\, charting 3 songs in the top ten (www.f
 olkradio.org).   Selected as an “Emerging Artist” at the Falcon Ridge
  Folk Festival (2011)\, and noted as “One To Watch” (Rob Reinhart\, Ac
 oustic Cafe)\,  Putnam has begun to establish himself as an acoustic tour
 -de-force not only in his hometown of Portland\, but as a nationally touri
 ng musician as well.  Engaging folks with humor\, charm\, and storytellin
 g\, Putnam has performed in 40 states\, from East Coast to West.  His aud
 iences have been known to howl like wolves\, sing like moonshiners\, and l
 augh and cry like\, well\, like human beings. As Maine’s indie newspaper
  the Maine Edge says: “He’s that rare breed of musician that manages t
 o sound like a throwback without ever coming off as dated.”\n\nAshley be
 gan writing songs as a child in Western Massachusetts with a hay wagon as 
 the stage and sheep for an audience. She ventured into vocal training at S
 kidmore College and has toured with chamber and a-capella groups. She has 
 collaborated on a range of projects ranging from soul and jazz to a-cappel
 la and folk trios. Her songwriting remains rooted in the folk tradition a
 nd incorporates intricate harmonies\, soulful melodies\, and acoustic fing
 er picking. Her lyrics have been described as catchy and confessional and 
 dare listeners to question and to simplify life. She is currently ranked 
 #1 on Maine Folk Charts by ReverbNation and is releasing her full lengt
 h debut album in July 2016.
