News from Anne:
Anne Dodson & Friends 28th Annual Winter Program

For the past 27 years Anne Dodson and her many talented friends have rung in the holiday season with a concert that celebrates life, love, loss and general silliness. This year the concert will be held on Sunday, December 6th at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary of the First Congregational Church in Camden, and will feature a returning cast of characters: The Quasimodal Chorus, Matt Szostak, Will Brown, David Dodson, Kat Logan, Jim Loney, Gordon Bok and Hazel Delehey. Cindy Kallet, a long-time Camden resident, now residing in Indiana, will be back to join the festivities again this year.

As usual, the concert challenges the definition of "seasonal" including traditional and original songs from the US, Finland, Africa and Britain, and with subjects ranging from the changes of seasons, recycling and the joys of aging!

The concert is the closing event of "Christmas by the Sea," Camden's annual weekend of holiday festivities. As always, "Anne Dodson and Friends" is a warm, informal concert, where the musicians take delight in blurring the line between performer and audience as together the community wraps up another year.

Doors open at 6:30 PM and advance tickets are available at The Owl and Turtle in Camden and at Rock City Cafe in Rockland. Tickets may also be reserved in advance, to be held at the door. Adults: $13 advance, $15 suggested donation at the door. Children (6 -12): $6 in advance, $7 suggested donation at the door. Free under 6 years. Refreshments will be served. For more information or reservations call 207-236-9576.

Other News! Anne has been recording… a little. "A Lot of Fine Stories" is a fun song about the things she allegedly learned from her mother. The single is her first "official" recording since 2000's "Against The Moon" and features Anne on cello - accompanied by Matt Szostak on cittern, Cindy Kallet on guitar, and Will Brown. Everybody sings! It is available for preview and download at
