Description
A Fortnight's Song plays a variety of acoustic music in the areas of folk, americana, blues, and bluegrass. We have a lively range of acoustic instruments from the usual guitars, bass and fiddle, to the less common instruments for this type of music such as clarinet and saxophone. We play a mixture of traditional and popular folk by local and regional songwriters, some well known songs like Nights in White Satin, City of New Orleans, and House at Pooh Corner, as well as some of our own original music. We've played in local coffee houses, Golden-Link sponsored concerts, and at Alleghany State Park as part of their "Artists in Residence" program.

History
A Fortnight's Song has was formed in 2000 by two couples who discovered each other's love of folk and acoustic music. Originally, we were only able to get together every 2 weeks or so to play together, which is why we call ourselves "A Fortnight's Song." Since then we have enjoyed playing at local venues and trying our hand at a little home studio recording of our music. |
