President’s Letter
near the southeast corner of the big field. Friends of Folk have a tent facing the stage, so pay us a visit too. While youʼre there, be sure to pick up a shirt and get a few CDs. Many of our performers are selling their CDs today and this is one of the best ways to support these artists, some of whom try to make a living at this folk music business. For the youngsters among us we have games, paints, and other neat activities at the littlefolksfun corner of the meadow. Thanks to Patty Field for all of her work.
O
n behalf of the Board and membership of Delaware Friends of Folk, welcome to the 25th annual Delmarva Folk Festival! (holy cow-really!!) We are all here today thanks to Pete Seegerʼs pioneering efforts at putting on what is now called a Folk Festival over 50 years ago (Newport started in 1959). Weʼre really glad youʼre here. We hope you enjoy our Festival as much as we enjoy presenting it. Again this year we have tried to live up to our “Support Local Music” slogan so all but two of our acts live within 50 miles of Hartly. From Tennessee we welcome back co-founders of this Festival and Friends of Folk—John and Vickie Lecroy. And from Florida (and the world) we are especially pleased to welcome the legendary Roy Book Binder to our stage.
We need you to join our organization, so ask us for an application at our tent or find one on our web site. Membership entitles you to discounted prices at Delaware Friends of Folk events—we sponsor monthly coffee houses and special concerts. In addition, we hold an end of the year party in December and a pick-in most months. We think we have a great organization with friendly, sociable members and weʼd love for you to be a part of it. And be sure to browse through the ads in this program. These are all local sponsors who have excellent goods and services to offer and who support this Festival with their advertising dollars. Because of their generosity, we are able to bring you quality music without blasting you with “corporate” icons. We also appreciate the special support from the Delaware Division of the Arts and Blue Earl Brewing of Smyrna.
Our line-up for Friday and Saturday represents a broad cross-section of the American folk music scene including blues, bluegrass, old-time, traditional and contemporary folk, and a few things that donʼt fit anywhere except here. We plan this Festival to provide a rich musical tapestry so you can bump into music that you normally wonʼt find on commercial radio or at other local music venues. We concentrate on making this festival friendly and congenial; laid-back if you like that term. Here in the shade of these great old trees on Lonnie & Sonja Fieldʼs farm, you can enjoy an uncluttered, peaceful day (and evening) of wonderful music. In addition, youʼll find yourself surrounded by friends, some youʼve known for quite a while, and maybe others you just met.
Finally, a very special thanks to Storm Longhauser for his wonderful job organizing the festival. He has managed to manage a diverse group of people (see “herding cats”) to make this all happen. He and a few others have been preparing this Festival site for 2 months. They are a group of dedicated volunteers who Zeke Zeller once fittingly dubbed “Web-busters”. Without these folksʼ work, youʼd be sitting on greenbrier and stumbling over branches (especially after sundown). You wouldnʼt have known where to park, the paint would still be in the can, you couldnʼt buy anything from vendors, and you couldnʼt hear the music. These fine folks are our volunteers, and this Festival happens because of their work and dedication. If youʼd like to help out next year, see anyone with a staff badge and weʼll sign you up. Itʼs yet another way to enjoy this Festival.
Please make yourself comfortable, enjoy our festival, and do your part to make sure others can do the same. Obviously you are outside, and so are mosquitoes, bees, ticks, spiders, and poison ivy. Weʼve done our best to clear the main Festival area, but if you decide to wander off the beaten path, please be alert, careful, and considerate of your environment. Take only pictures and leave only footprints. And parents–please keep track of your children. We love them all and donʼt want any of them to get lost or hurt in any way, and we have lots for them to do in their own corner of the field. We hope youʼre here for the music, but thereʼs more than music at our Festival. We have a number of food and craft vendors out in the field, so take some time to browse about and help support these fine folks. Crabmeat Thompson will have a songwriting workshop Friday evening and Roy Book Binder will offer a free guitar workshop at 4 pm Saturday

ohn and Vickie LeCroy have collaborated ormed out of the comfy confines of Jmusically F for over 3 decades with a love of Friends of Folk pick-ins, Celtic Harvest the varied sounds from around the world and home. Vickie trained as a classical violinist before coming to the dark side of improvised play in a wide array of violin and vocals. John stays true to a long history of an inability to focus on one genre. Together, their musical selections wander the musical realm from American songbook to classical to singer songwriter to assorted styles from around the world with arrangements that are fresh and fun. TheyĘźll be joined by their very good pal Jim McGiffin on bass.

Saturday 3:00. . . . . . Sand Creek and Creek, in one form or another, has S been making music since 1978. Along
you far away. All are sure to give you a new way to look at the world. Sand Creekʼs music is a mix of contemporary folk, blues, bluegrass, country, and rock. Influences come from a broad range of the great Americana songbook: Steve Goodman and John Prine, to Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, to Jimmy Buffett, The Band, Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waites, Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon, Hank Williams, Woodie Guthrie, Townes van Zandt, and lots more.
with Lonnie Field, great songs, players, singers, songwriters, and friends have been the constants. If Lonnie doesnʼt play, itʼs not Sand Creek, and if Lonnie does play, more than likely itʼs Sand Creek. This band, with all of its changes, has always been the interpreter of Lonnieʼs songs. Some consider Sand Creek to be the ʻhouse bandʼ at the Delmarva Folk Festival. As always, members drift in and out of the band, so along with Lonnie on guitar and vocals, todayʼs version features John Kidd, Bob Hamel, and Walt Dabell.
The band joined the video age in 2012 when they completed their first music video, providing the soundtrack for a documentary on the killer norʼeaster that hit Delaware in March of 1962. That storm was witnessed by a young Lonnie Field.
John got fully immersed in the Creek around 1999 and hasnʼt crawled out since. He adds harmonica, vocals, and percussion. He and Lonnie have co-written several songs lately. Bob has been keeping the band on the beat playing the bass spot for about eight years. Walt was an early member of Sand Creek, drifted away on several other band projects, and recently found his way back. Heʼs a creative harmonizer and a multi- instrumentalist in the truest sense, today migrating between guitar and dobro, but equally adept on bass or mandolin. Warm, intimate, funny, and in-your-face original songs, together with well-chosen covers, spirited playing, and melt-in-yourmouth harmonies have been with the band since the beginning. Lonnieʼs songs are a mix of humor and satire from real life experiences. Some of the songs will hit close to home and others will take 10
Saturday 5:00. . . . Butter Queen Sister utter Queen Sister is a trio whose B folk-rich sound is infused with country,
Harry Gambrill, a versatile musician, accompanies Rebecca on dobro, banjo, mandolin and harmony vocals. Harryʼs tasty picking is just what the doctor ordered, adding texture and rhythm with a bluegrass & country vibe. Harry brings a couple of his amazing, original bluegrass tunes to the set which allows BQS great opportunities to jam. New to Butter Queen Sister is the talented Mike McLane, who adds superb bass and occasional harmony on various tunes!
bluegrass and a bit of the blues. Lead singer and songwriter Rebecca Lang Fiorentino delivers melodies that are as memorable as they are beautiful in her distinctive, sweet and clear voice. When not anchoring songs with her guitar, Rebecca picks up her violin and provides another emotional voice to the arrangement. Though playing in a folk style, her classical training shines through. These original songs feature simple and heartfelt lyrics on life and love, which at times capture a classic folk sensibility.
From ballads to Americana folk-rockers to bluegrass foot-stompers, Butter Queen Sisterʼs consistently catchy songs appeal to a range of musical tastes. A serving of BQS helps to stir the soul!!

She encouraged his songwriting efforts and featured him on her radio show out of Sebastopol, CA. Washed ashore back in Delaware, Crab enjoys teaching ESL part-time while he continues to play, write and record. He resides in Middletown with his wife of twenty years Janice and their bossy cat, Cleotis-Ra.

Saturday 7:00. . . . . . . . . . . Bob Beach

Between the years of 1996 and 2006 Fitzgerald & Beach produced 4 critically acclaimed albums and toured regularly.
ob Beachʼs career has spanned more B than 40 years. While his roots are in
blues, rock and folk, his innate feel for the music transcends genre, and can be integrated into everything from hip hop to bluegrass to kidsʼ cabaret and more. This has been accomplished both in the studio and at live performances. In addition to masterful harmonica, Bobʼs skills include strong percussive flute work, and soulful vocals. Bob currently performs with David Jacobs-Strain, The Melton Brothers, The Catʼs Pajamas, Philadelphia Jug Band and the Manatawny Creek Ramblers. He also co- fronts the Theologicals and leads the Bob Beach Trio.
In late 2006 DC passed away. On the 10th anniversary of DCʼs death and the 20th anniversary of Fitzgerald & Beachʼs first album(Blues New and Used) Bob has put together a show remembering DC Fitzgerald. This show will include many of the songs DC was known for and lots of memories of a great and influential musician. Bobʼs good friend and DC admirer Jim Klingler(Philadelphia Jug Band) will help out on guitar.
Bob met DC Fitzgerald in 1967 at Indiana
