House Party In Strafford | Burke•Surette Family Band & Dead Duo
Friday, August 3, 2012
6-10 PM
74 Spruce Pond Drive Strafford NH
Surette Family Band
Dead Duo
Bring: a dish to share, drinks & lawn chairs
$12 performance donation
Warmth, vitality, and spontaneity mark the performances of Susie Burke and David Surette,
and have earned them a reputation as one of the finest acts on the
lively New England folk scene. Susie’s beautiful, complex voice and
David’s graceful, nimble-fingered string playing combine with
extraordinary results on their own blend of contemporary, traditional,
and original folk and acoustic music. Together since 1988, Susie and
David have built a steady following for their music, a following that
has continued to grow with the release of their When the Small Birds
Sweetly Sing CD in 2008.
Recipients of Individual Artist Fellowship awards from the NH State Council on the Arts, Susie and David are also on the Council's Touring Arts roster. Between their solo and duo projects, they have released ten albums since 1990 on the Madrina Music label, to positive response from both critics and audiences. Together, they bring skill, taste, feeling, and pure enjoyment to their music, and are bringing their music to an ever-widening circle of listeners. For this show they will be joined by their daughter Isa Burke on fiddle, guitar, banjo, and vocals. Isa is an exceptional young musician who already has several years of performing experience to her credit, She will be attending Berklee College of Music in the fall.
Steve Roy & Dave Surette are a duo dedicated to the music of the Grateful Dead. Both Steve and Dave have been stalwarts of the New England folk/bluegrass/roots music scene, and this sound is apparent in their acoustic arrangements of a wide range of Dead classics, featuring Steve on mandolin and vocals and Dave on acoustic guitar and vocals. Their repertoire draws heavily on the Dead material from the early 70s, especially albums such as American Beauty, Workingman’s Dead, and Europe 72, yet they perform songs from all phases of the Dead’s career, and have an extensive working repertoire. In addition to presenting the songs of the classic Garcia/Hunter songwriting collaboration, they also play a wide range of cover material that was performed by the Dead: blues, country, rock, and traditional folk songs. They also cover a number of Dylan songs that were part of the Dead’s repertoire. Rootsy acoustic sound, harmony vocals, high-quality musicianship and extensive improvisation mark their live performances, and create an exciting evening of music that should appeal to Deadheads as well as fans of folk, bluegrass and old-time.

Performer Profile: Charlie Strater
In his own words:
I’m from the Northeastern US. My people are descended from dowdy Puritans, dissenting Quakers, a Revolutionary War general who got lost in the fog on December 25, 1776, a Salem-Witch-Trial Judge who later recanted, a preacher, a painter, a pianist: an ancestry that is wonderfully checkered and complicated like everything else in America. The indigenous music of the Northeast is great - sea shanties, folk and Celtic stuff were always being played in my house, both on the radio and by-hand on guitars – but I was drawn to something with more of a bayou backbeat, and to find that you have to go elsewhere…so when I was old enough, I did.
The first day I set foot in Chicago, Illinois, I saw Buddy Guy and Junior Wells perform together. This was a transformative experience. The next time I caught their act, I noticed that the audience was mostly comprised of guys – many of them intoxicated and performing dubious air-guitar. A few years later, I noticed that most of the girls I had been trying to impress were listening to Garth Brooks and Mary Chapin Carpenter. I figured if I wanted to get the girl, I better pay heed. So I did, and my musical path has been clear ever since.
I try like hell to avoid playing too many notes on the guitar (weedly-weedly-wee...yawn), but, man, it sure is fun to step on the gas once in awhile! The influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Roy Nichols looms large in my playing.
I'm humbled by the truck load of songwriters in my neck of the woods and am fortunate to be friends with some of them. I'm grateful that they don't mind too much when I take one of their tunes out for a spin, even if it gets returned with a missing hubcap or a dented fender. In 2009 I had a nice run on the independent country radio charts with "The Devil In Me," a two step ditty about a bad fella written by my good friend Carl Cacho.

“Sometimes the best music is the hardest to put a label on. New
Hampshire’s Crunchy Western Boys defy labeling as they pick and strum
their way through the DNA of American music in all it’s purest forms:
folk, roots, bluegrass, a touch of gospel, all with an infectious
rocking beat.” ~NH Magazine
