“Energy engulfed The Buttonwood Tree Saturday night when opening act J-Cherry and the Strawberries took to the stage and played to a house that overflowed the music room and spilled out into the library. A local artist with a passion for music, lead singer J-Cherry,  a.k.a. Jennifer Shafer Wood, plays her own soulful style of blues, poetry, and funk surrounded by an ethereal musical background.” David Geller

JEN TAYLOR and ALIEN FOLK MUSIC!

Alien Folk Music

Alien Folk Music is singer/songwriter Jen Taylor's eclectic mix of heartbreaking to hilarious originals, her songs morph from questions on when the aliens might be coming to get her to musings on the ugly/beauty of a garden in autumn. Taylor plays a mean ukulele, Justin Good accompanies on gypsy-jazz guitar, Hans Lohse plays accordion and percussion, and Chris Brown is arguably the best-looking stand-up bass player on the radio. Their sound is unique and unforgettable.

And did we mention Taylor hula hoops and plays guitar over her head?
