BRANDON — Brandon Music welcomes back firm favorites Cradle Switch to Brandon Music on Saturday, May 25. A five-piece acoustic Americana group, based in Cambridge, N.Y., Cradle Switch’s repertoire promises something for everyone. With ballads as well as up-tempo rhythms, the group’s lyrics cover the emotional spectrum moving easily from spirited and gritty to some mellow love songs too. With each performance Cradle Switch balances contemporary songs and classic tunes drawing from bluegrass, country, folk, and a little blues with their own authentic compositions.
Singer-songwriters Ferrilyn Sourdiffe and Dave Lawlor swap out guitars for banjo and mandolin, while group member Kate Ritter brings it on the fiddle, along with some angelic vocal harmonies to add to Ferrilyn and Dave’s robust vocals. Bruce Weatherby adds some bounce on the upright bass and David Norman keeps the beat on percussion (and has been known to wear his special washboard tie to gigs). Since 2010 Cradle Switch has played regularly at various concert series, music festivals, cafes and other venues in the northeast and released their debut album “Cradleswitch” in September 2017.
Concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Concert tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for an extra $25. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB.
