We're so happy Mark Erelli can help us ring in our 26th year at The Ripton Community Coffee House on our virtual stage. We are huge fans. He has graced our actual stage in the past and he will again. Join us as we recognize this milestone with one of the best performers out there today. Mark Erelli has forged a colorful career by making the art of “being everywhere all the time” seem effortless. It’s hard to think of another artist who seems equally at home serving as a sideman for GRAMMY-winning artists like Paula Cole, Marc Cohn, and Josh Ritter, or producing albums for Lori McKenna, as he does producing his own material like the stunning “By Degrees” in which he was joined by a host of voices including Roseanne Cash and Sheryl Crow. That song was nominated for “Song of the Year” at the 2019 Americana Music Awards and served to reintroduce Erelli to a wider audience. His latest album, Blindsided, combines the exuberance of Erelli’s signature sound with the wisdom that comes with over 20 years of songwriting, capturing an artist at a point in his career where he is clearly digging deep and swinging for the fences.
