Returning to our market this week is our good friend, local Songwriter/Musician Gerry Laverty and his brother Michael. Influenced by The Great Folk Scare of the ’60’s, Gerry received early encouragement by way of a tape of songs sent to fabled Columbia Records producer, John Hammond, Sr. Styled with acoustic guitar, harmonica and occasional mandolin, his songs reflect the travails of the lone wanderer, spiritual images and rail against social injustice. To book Gerry for your next party or gig, contact him via his ReverbNation page. If you know of a band or solo artist who would like to play at the market, please email us or call us @ 804-314-9141.
