Edwards Opera House

There is no question that Geoff Muldaur is an extraordinary talent, what a voice, and the guitar, well... fabulous!  The 2004 season kick off was all we had hoped for and more. Turns out Geoff Muldaur also has a great wit and is very funny, he treated the audience to some very enjoyable stories throughout the performance. While staying at a nearby cottage, Geoff discovered an old banjo on a shelf, the banjo became an unexpected part of the performance. Geoff's assertion that he couldn't play the banjo was, clearly, not true! It was a big night out for the old cottage banjo!

The folks at North Country public radio were a huge help and instrumental in the success of this event, thank you to Mike Alzo, Bob Sauter, Joel Hurd and all our other friends at NCPR. We are thrilled that a recording of "Geoff Muldaur, live at The Edwards Opera House" now exists.

The house was packed, the nearly sold out crowd was, as always, wonderful!  The Opera House's shortcomings, not enough restrooms and no elevator (yet) were tolerated with patience, thank you to all. One kind visitor reminded me that even at huge modern concert halls and stadiums "you still have to wait in line for the restroom"

Geoff Muldaur loved the painted back scene so much that he asked our photographer to email a photo of it to his home. I guess they didn't have a backdrop depicting cattle at the gig he played last week in Tokyo!

We are excited about the remaining fourteen dates on our calendar and hope we are presenting shows that will appeal to many tastes. Visit us again.
