New England folk trio to play two festivals plus Rangeley concert series

Annalivia is an American “roots and branches” string-band which draws from tradition and today to create their own brand of new acoustic folk music. The members of Annalivia – Liz Simmons, Flynn Cohen, and Lissa Schneckenburger – are all masterful players and have long histories with traditional music, ranging from bluegrass to Irish, Scottish, New England and old-time Appalachian music. This background, combined with each member’s stellar compositional skills and cutting-edge arranging chops, makes for music which sounds rooted yet contemporary.

Performances will be at North Church in Farmington, on Saturday, July 26; Seven Lakes Festival in Belgrade on Sunday, July 27; and at Rangeley Lakeside Theatre on Tuesday, July 29. Curtain at North Church and Rangeley is 7 p.m. and a 2 p.m. slot is slated at Seven Lakes Festival. North Church will host a public supper in the community room starting at 5:30 p.m.
