We can’t think of a better way to end our 25th Christmas season than by bringing back Harvey Reid and Joyce Andersen! Harvey has performed at BRT for longer than any other musician, going back to our days at the old Central Falls location. Joyce & Harvey’s spirited and reverent Christmas concert draws on traditional holiday repertoire, unknown gems, and newer favorites. Expect winter-themed music mixed in with some fiddling, bluesy slide guitar, gospel and bluegrass/country thrown in for good measure! Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music educator Harvey Reid has honed his craft since the ’70s in countless clubs, festivals, schools and concert halls across the nation. He has been called a “giant of the steel strings” and “one of the true treasures of American acoustic music,” and is considered to be one of the modern masters and innovators of the acoustic guitar, autoharp and 6-string banjo. Joyce Andersen is a veteran musician who has enjoyed a 25 year career as side-gal, session player, singer-songwriter, and band leader. Andersen’s music has brought her from the coffeehouses of her native New England, national & international touring as a solo artist and also with husband, Harvey Reid, Childsplay, Richard Thompson and a host of other artists.
