Riverfolk Music and Arts will be hosting The Dodworth Duo at the eighth and last Blacksmith Shop Concert of the season on May 27th at 7:30 pm. The historic Blacksmith Shop, located at 324 E. Main Street, is still used for blacksmithing and its rustic brick interior with tools on display will provide an intimate backdrop for this Music-Food-Drink gathering. The Dodworth Duo, based out of Ann Arbor, performs music of the 19th century. Accompanied by guitar, banjo, harmonica, fife, etc., the Duo sings classic American songs such as “Clementine,” working songs like “Erie Canal,” and cowboy tunes like “Red River Valley.” In addition to being delightfully entertaining, the Dodworth Duo also educates and gives audiences a taste of American music of the past.

Tickets range in price from $15 to $20, include food and drink sampling, and are available online at eventbrite.com or, if not sold out beforehand, at the door.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
