Festival Noon Performance: Carol Bailey String Band
Carol Bailey String Band
Our program this season is "We the People - Our Story in Song" in celebration of the 250th anniversary of our nation. The songs drawn from this whole time tell our story and show the ways we gained and protected our rights and freedom. We love to have the audience sing with us as we celebrate what we need to do to keep the rights and freedom we cherish.

About the Band - A program of the Litchfield Senior Center, the Carol Bailey String Band is an all-volunteer band, whose members come from more than a dozen towns. In their 60s through their 90s, band members discovered the timeless fun of making music together and of spreading joy to other people. They sing all kinds of music, once described as "music that everyone likes", and they play a wide range of instruments, including guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, harps, bass, cello, banjo, snare drum and other percussion instruments, and sometimes recorders, violins, harmonicas, and slide trombone--and they keep learning more instruments! The band has presented lively performances at the Schoodic Arts for All Summer Arts Festival, Franco American Heritage Center, schools, senior centers, assisted living facilities, grange halls, churches, community centers, and the Litchfield Fair.
