Jud Caswell and Lisa Redfern, award-winning singer-songwriters and favorites of the Maine folk scene, will share the stage at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick on February 7th at 7:30 as a part of the Concerts for a Cause series to raise money for local charities.Jud Caswell, one of the leading singer-songwriters on the current scene, has been performing in his native state of Maine and beyond for more than 25 years. He is a master multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, banjo, cittern, whistles and Irish drums. His interpretations of songs from modern acoustic to traditional folk and Irish are done with excellent musicianship, and his words and warm, tender voice portray his landscapes like Wyeth, with a reverence for humble beauty.
Jud’s originals have won many prestigious songwriting contests in the country, including the legendary Kerrville New Folk competition. His songs have been taught at Berklee, recorded by Judy Collins, and named “#4 Song of the Decade” by New York’s WFUV. The single, “The Great Divide,” from the album was the #2 song of October, 2021 on Folk Alliance International’s Charts.
With 12 solo recordings to her credit, including originals, folk songs, jazz standards, hymns, lullabies and Christmas songs, Lisa Redfern has been performing for over 35 years and has opened for some of her favorites: The Roches, David Mallett, Livingston Taylor, Cindy Kallet, and Pete Seeger. For 5 years she produced the popular “Songwriters in the Round” series and is an annual favorite at the annual Sweet Chariot Music Festival. A few years ago Lisa was commissioned to write a ballad for Penobscot Indian elder and WW2 hero, Charles Norman Shay, and was honored to sing it for him at a ceremony on DDAY in Normandy, France. Lisa was rewarded with Best Song by the West Coast Songwriters Association, two Parents’ Choice awards, and was a finalist in the Great American Song Contest and the USA Songwriting Competition.
