You CAN go home again!
For the first time in its history, the Madrid Dam Music Series is engaging in an effort to bring touring and performing professionals with roots in the North Country BACK HOME to the MDMS venue to share their music and the story of their professional journeys. We have specifically selected artists with diverse histories and cultural experiences to feature.
Tracer James
Sunday May 15, 2-4 PM
Pedal steel guitar.
Sinclair
Sunday June 26, Admissions 5 PM. Performance begins at 6 PM.
A multi-instrumentalist, Sinclair performs primarily original music, and a few covers she has creatively fashioned in her own style. She recently issued a new album (Montage) available for download.
December Wind
Wednesday July 6, 6-8 pm
An award-winning First Nations band from Akwesasne, December Wind draws on deeply rooted cultural traditions, and the potential for healing through music. Their song “215” speaks to 215 native children stolen from their homes to be indoctrinated in white culture.
Waydown Wailers
Sunday September 18, 3-5 PM
An “overnight” success story many years in the making, Waydown Wailers remain true to its musical styling and draws influence from the life that surrounds it in Northern New York.
