Summer Folk for Summer Folk - Lisa Bastoni + Hazel Basil
Advertisement
Two talented local folk musicians, one night of free music at the Library Annex! Doors open at 6:30 pm, music starts at 7.
Hazel Basil is a folk musician from Amherst, Ma. Her broad soundscapes invite listeners to get lost and turn inwards, and her soothing fingerstyle folk seeks to connect with a core shared humanity in all. Through inviting self-love and introspection with her music, Hazel hopes to open more space for complexity, joy, and compassion. Since learning to play piano when she was 5 years old, Hazel has been entranced by the role of music as an emotional outlet. After coming out as transgender in 2022, Hazel felt an immense surge of love for herself, her community, and music which inspired her to begin sharing her music. Hazel’s songs are inspired by the unifying power of music and the barriers she has had to overcome in sharing that music with her community, and beyond. Since then, Hazel has performed at venues across New England such as the Parlor Room, Iron Horse, and the Academy of Music, bringing communities together in solidarity and strength. “Herbs and Grains”, her first album, is available on all platforms- and she has two more albums in the works.
Lisa Bastoni (Northampton, MA) is a 2022 & 2023 New England Music Award nominee (Roots), 2020 & 2019 Boston Music Award Nominee (Folk) and winner of 2019 New Folk at the esteemed Kerrville Folk Festival. In addition to her work in music, Lisa Bastoni is an accomplished visual artist and teacher, and mother to two young children. Lisa Bastoni has opened for/performed with Lori McKenna, Dar Williams, Regina Spektor, The Secret Sisters, Teddy Thompson, Rose Cousins, Mark Erelli, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, and many more. She performs regularly around New England, and occasionally beyond.
