Caroline Doctorow Celebrates a New Album at the Talkhouse
“Songwriters in the Round,” a concert hosted by Caroline Doctorow and featuring three other singer-songwriters, will take place Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett. Hugh Prestwood, Mary Ann Rossoni, and Mike Laureanno will share the stage with Ms. Doctorow for an evening of music rooted in folk, blues, and country.
A member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame who was discovered in 1978 by Judy Collins, Mr. Prestwood has written hits for Randy Travis, Trisha Yearwood, Michael Johnson, Shenandoah, and Crystal Gayle.
Ms. Rossoni is noted for her narrative songwriting style and her comfortable onstage delivery. Her songs, many of which tell of life in New England, blend storytelling with country, blues, and folk.
Mr. Laureanno is a 2016 Kerrville New Folk finalist and a 2016 Woody Guthrie Folk Festival songwriting contest winner. He is also a recording engineer, producer, and veteran sideman.
A mainstay of the East End music scene, Ms. Doctorow has recently released a new album, “Dreaming in Vinyl,” which has climbed to number two on the folk radio airplay chart. She has released 11 solo albums, and her work appears on dozens of albums by other singer-songwriters, and on several film and television sound tracks.
Tickets are $15.
