Dear Friends!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.
Summer has always been my favorite season, and this year, with the emergence from quarantine, it’s especially wonderful. It’s a bumpy ride, but I am easing my way out of quarantine and back to house concerts and small venues, as well as a private lessons.
THE EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL DALTON FOLK FESTIVAL (formerly know as Sugar Hill Folk Festival) will take place on Aug 1 from 4 – 7 PM at the Dalton Community Recreation Center, 400 Main Street, Dalton, Ma.

SONGWRITING WORKSHOP: 10 AM to Noon at Mill & Main, located right next to the Dalton Recreation Center at 444 Main Street Dalton, MA.

MAIN STEM OF THE SALMON RIVER in IDAHO: Sep 15 – 20, 2021
There are still a few open seats on this “family friendly,” trip, which translates to mean that the water isn’t as big as the Colorado. While the option to paddle may exist if there are enough folks interested, the option to sit in the boat and let the experts do the work is definitely available. I’m also told that there are hot springs. HOT SPRINGS!
Cost: $2199 per person. This includes ground transportation by bus from Salmon, ground transportation by bus from the take-out to McCall, meals from lunch Day 1 to breakfast Day 6, all camping equipment including tents large rectangular sleeping bag, sleeping pad and camp pillow, dry bags, and an MFRE mug to use and take home after trip. Hit reply (blewis@williams.edu) to for information and registration link.
IRELAND: POSTPONED UNTIL JUNE/JULY 2022. We’ll visit castles from the middle ages and learn about the geological and religious history of Ireland. We’ll kayak under the stars in Skibbereen, visiting with phosphorescence and fairies, and we’ll participate in concerts, Irish pub sessions and a private music party. Drop me a line at blewis@williams.edu for information on available space.
PATREON: Join me on Patreon: I would be so honored to have your support as a patron. As the isolation of this past year begins to decrease, those of us with careers in the arts are not just going back to work. We have to wait for venues to re-open, many of which may not have survived the pandemic. We have to find the energy and resources to re-build our tour routes and our audiences. Any amount you can spare will be appreciated. You can find me at https://www.patreon.com/bernicelewis
I am looking forward to seeing all of you again. Stay in touch for live stream music on Facebook. Past concerts are archived and currently open to the public.
