MEREDITH — In the words and spirit of the Girl Scout jingle, "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other is gold. A circle is round, it has no end. That's how long, I will be your friend," the 1st Congo Bluegrass Band welcomes all new and returning friends to the second annual Bluegrass Sunday service at 10 a.m. in the 1st Congregational Church of Meredith on Aug. 7.
This year several new musicians and more instrumentation have been added to the ensemble. Kitty Boyle from Meredith is on board as a vocalist, and has performed with many bluegrass groups. She and her husband, Kevin, also run the Music in the Park Open Mic events on Friday nights in Hesky Park. Multi-talented Eric Peterson, who performs as half of the John Irish duo, will play a variety of instruments; and expert fiddler, Kris Roberts, who also sings and plays banjo, violin, mandolin, guitar, clarinet, piano - everything but bagpipes, is a very welcome addition.
The 1st Congregational Church of Meredith is located at 4 Highland Street in Meredith. Parking is in the back and everyone is welcome to enjoy this annual summer service.
