RESCHEDULED: Stella Kola at Roundabout Books (with Cosmic Ray) January 31st
Roundabout Books 85 Pierce Street, GreenfieldOur Stella Kola concert has been rescheduled for January 31st! Hailing from the misty grottos and orchards of Western Massachusetts, Stella Kola weave haunting ballads that dig deep into the psychedelic-folk tradition while shapeshifting into captivating new forms. Initially a duo formed in 2019 as a songwriting project between poet/vocalist Beverly Ketch and musician Robert Thomas (founding member of the long running improvisational group Sunburned Hand of the Man), the project steadily swelled to a sextet.
