Contemporary folk duo Sweet Wednesday will perform at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 16, in the Community Room of the Walpole Public Library.
Originally from Boston, Dave Falk and Lisa Housman have toured the country for the past ten years, both as an acoustic duo and with their band. The concert is free, thanks to sponsorship by the Friends of the Walpole Public Library. More details are available at www.walpolelibraryfriends.org.
From the moment singer/songwriters Dave Falk and Lisa Housman met, they knew there was songwriting and performing chemistry at work. Since forming Sweet Wednesday in 2006, the duo has released four albums to critical acclaim, toured extensively as an acoustic duo and with their full band, and have been featured on radio and television programs throughout the U.S. and abroad.
In addition to inspiring fans near and far, Sweet Wednesday has been the recipient of several songwriting awards, including first place in the Great American Song Contest, first place in the Dallas Songwriting Competition, and runner-up in the John Lennon Song Contest.
An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Dave brings his unique style to the guitar, mandolin, harmonica, banjo, and fiddle, while Lisa sings of long-distance friendships, having a hard day working as a clerk in a bakery in New York City, lost love, and “those crazy mermaids you might encounter after being out on the ocean for several days.”
