A house concert at Mount Lubentia, the home of Andy and Sondra Stigen Wallace near Largo, Maryland
Suggested donation $15.
Ed Trickett grew up in the DC area, back when a normal family could afford to raise a kid near Dupont Circle. A professor of psychology by day, he left the area when the University of Illinois--Chicago lured him away from the University of Maryland. But by night, Ed has always been a troubadour, one who both interprets traditional songs and spreads the songs being sung elsewhere, especially in the nation?s heartland. He searches for the truths in songs and sings in a gentle manner that brings out all of the meanings and nuances. He?ll return to the area to offer a house concert at Mount Lubentia, the historic plantation home of Andy and Sondra Stigen Wallace, near Largo. (Yes, George Washington really slept there; we can give you the precise dates.)
Besides his singing, Ed often plays six- and twelve-string guitars, piano, and hammered dulcimer, but we?ll have to see which of these he chooses to carry with him from Illinois (or borrow from local friends).
Ed?s past includes a decades-long stint as part of a trio with Gordon Bok and Anne Mayo Muir, being a central cog of the ?Golden Ring? of singers, and several recordings (both solo and with groups) on Folk Legacy records, not to mention multiple appearances on Garrison Keillor?s A Prairie Home Companion.
Ed loves songs with great melodies and singable choruses. Expect to be part of that chorus! Contact Andy Wallace for reservations and directions at 301.324.7311 or click here to e-mail.
