The Music Scene...

Whether they're laying down a dirty blues, stepping it up for a honky-tonk stomp, playing a cry-in-your-beer-ballad, adding funk to Irish fiddle tunes with a New Orleans beat, or stretching out on Joyce's catchy originals, the Joyce Andersen Band has an infectious amount of fun serving up its surprising and tasty fare. Joyce's fiery fiddling and soulful singing rocket her band of veteran Seacoast sidemen through a spicy musical gumbo. Shows glide seamlessly between old-time and contemporary songs and fiddle tunes. Her six critically-acclaimed CDs - three of which are collaborations with folk luminary and husband Harvey Reid - have won her critical acclaim and radio play in the folk world. Join York's own Joyce Andersen and her band at the Stone Church, 5 Granite St., Newmarket, N.H., this Saturday, Feb. 3, at 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.thestonechurch.com or www.joyscream.com.
