about

On a cool evening in mid-May, a small number of folks gathered for a concert. No one really knew what to expect from this band with the odd name; Sheesham & Lotus. What they got was an absolutely amazing set of old time music, fiddle tunes, and vaudevillian shenanigans. It was more than wonderful.

This recording is an audio postcard of that event, in al it's mayhem and glory. Like any live recording, it's not perfect. Then again, what in life is?

For best results, listen with headphones. But you're most likely a grownup and you can make that choice for yourself.

All proceeds from this recording are split evenly between the performers, the Sumner Knight Chapel, and Keene Music Festival.
That's what all the prices are divisible by three....
