Come and hear these two master players make some magic together on the Tiny Porch Stage!
The concert will be outdoors, on the grass! Bring a blanket or a chair. There is a suggested donation of $20, per guest, at the “door”. Free to folks over age 80 or under age 18.
This concert is part of the Peaks Island House Concert Series. The Series was started by Ellen Mahoney and Ed Darany, with the goal of bringing world class acoustic roots musicians to Peaks Island for the sheer joys of sharing something beautiful with the world. They welcome people to share an outdoor live performance from the Tiny Porch Stage at their home on Wharf Cove.

Note for folks coming from the mainland: The 5:35 ferry from Portland gives plenty of time for you to gather friends and some provisions and walk around the backshore of the Island to see the show. Walking or biking is encouraged. Parking is very limited.
