Les Sampou and Kerri Powers, strong original songs, bluesy with a lot of soul, bits of jazz and folk rock and roll

Saturday January 11, 2025 7:30 p.m.
$25 (under 18 $10)

Linden Tree concerts continues into 2025 with encore performances with two of our favorite women singer-songwriters Les Sampou and Kerri Powers. Both sets will feature a lot of blues with bits of jazz and rock & roll.  This year’s concerts are held at the Wakefield Lynnfield Methodist Church on Vernon St. Our regulars cite the friendliness, affordability, and exceptional national talent presented each month.


Les Sampou is an Americana singer-songwriter, who got her start in the Boston folk scene and moved on to national prominence and acclaim. Sampou has performed at Montreal Jazz Festival, SXSW, Toronto Blues Festival, Kerrville Folk Festival (where she won the New Folk Songwriting Award), Philadelphia Folk Festival, Winnipeg, and Falcon Ridge to name a few. Sampou has conducted workshops at Berklee School of Music and appeared on top syndicated radio programs such as Acoustic Cafe, World Cafe, and NPR. Sampou has released seven albums, five on her own label and two on Rounder Records. Her album, “Fall from Grace”, topped the Gavin Americana Charts nationwide. Her release “Lonesomeville” charted number 2 on the US/European Americana F.A.R. Chartsand led to her performance at the SXSW Conference in Austin, TX. To date, Sampou has released seven albums of original material (See Sales on Menu). In 2021, Les won the 26th Annual International Songwriters Award for lyric writing for her song “LIES FROM TRUTH.”

Sampou, who lives on the South Shore of Boston, began playing in the streets in what she terms as “relatively late in life,” at twenty five..After cutting her teeth in the streets, Les began playing area clubs, before Sampou found the coffeehouse scene. Her first album “SWEET PERFUME” caught the attention of legendary DJ Dick Pleasants and it soon was on the doorstep of Rounder Records where she was immediately signed. Rounder released “Fall From Grace” and it hit the top of the charts of Gavin Americana Radio. Sampou’s third disc, the eponymously-titled album “LES SAMPOU,” was a departure from her folk and blues sound and her penchant for rock began to color her voice and her writing.  

When Sampou and Rounder parted ways, Les released her first all-acoustic, country-blues album, ‘BORROWED & BLUE’” on her own label, MoNando Music. Always side-stepping categorization, this time Sampou put out a collection of the guitar-based country-blues—original and classics—tunes that were a staple in Les’s live shows. 

But, it wasn’t until her album ‘LONESOMEVILLE,’ that Sampou feels like she “hit her stride.”recorded Lonesomeville live in two days with Ducky Carlisle, mix engineer, added his acclaimed rock edge to the Americana set of blues and soul-tinged country tunes..“Powerfully expressive, her new album, “Lonesomeville,” was a personal Top Ten favorite of the year.” STEVE MORSE, BOSTON GLOBE/ ROLLING STONE

Les dedicating another  album to the singer-songwriter coffeehouse scene for its support of acoustic musicians. The national coffeehouse scene for decades has presented acoustic concerts in the halls of churches run by volunteers. “I dedicate this album to every promoter and volunteer, and to the audiences who find their way to “the church of music. Ours is a lucky community and I’m blessed to have been taken into its fold all these years.” says Sampou.

Sampou’s seventh and most recent project “LIKE YOUR VIBE” is the result of the last few years of collaborations with select musicians worldwide. In order to build her catalog of TV/FILM-ready songs, Sampou and her collaborators created cross genre songs from “1969” co-written with Andre Lund from Norway, an indie rock song about the 1960’s counter culture, to the dark, vampire-themed song “Dreadful Love” co-written with Israeli Roy Osherove to “Boy Blue” a country rock ballad co-written with Axel Bauer from Austria. After accumulating twenty plus collaborations, Sampou and her partner Ed Grenga placed many of the songs on TV and Film.

Singer-songwriter Kerri Powers channels blues and soul with an eye-to-eye, earthy sensibility that makes for honest listening and reflection. She’s your sage girlfriend speaking from the heart and does so with a new collection of songs written from a place of grief and longing – something that speaks to us all. She’s one of the finest country blues fingerstyle guitar we’ve had on our stage. “Powers’ exceptional vocals are matched with outstanding songwriting. A lifetime of creativity infuse her original songs with mournful, redemptive catharsis.

With ‘Love is Why,’ Powers’ first self-penned full-length album since 2018, the New England-based artist explores the universal emotion of love and its huge influence on our decisions. In particular, she examines love in the context of holding on or letting go through human loss and grieving. The album’s original songs were written during the pandemic and after Powers lost her father, whom she calls “my best friend.”

Recorded in 2021, Kerri says, “I wrote the songs from a place of loss and grieving and went from there.” “Writing the songs was hard but a necessary part of healing. At the end of the day, all the songs were written from a place of love for humanity and the need to spread the message that love is essential.”

Kerri’s critically acclaimed album “Love is Why” has been praised by notable music journalists Lee Zimmerman, John Apice, Bucky O’Hare, and more and has been reviewed for Americana Highways, No Depression, Blues Blast Magazine, as well as landing on several ‘Top Albums of 2023’ lists for non-comm and Americana and Blues radio. “When it Rains” stayed at the #1 spot on the Roots Radio Rock Music Charts for several weeks.

“I don’t know where this young lady came from, but it’s got to be a secret place. This is not the kind of singing and performing that can be easily taught. It has to be in your spirit, in your blood, and the fact that she is from the Northeast will confound the artists down South, in the Delta, in Memphis, Clarksdale, Austin, and Nashville.” John Apice/No Depression

Tickets for this concert are $25. Homemade baked goods and beverages hot and cold are sold before the show and during intermission. Doors open at 7 with the show beginning at 7:30pm. For preferential seating call 781 246 2836 by noon on performance days.

He was named 2016 Folk Alliance International Artist-in-Residence. His recent CD, Nine Becomes One, was published in 2023, features ten new songs.

His first album Able Baker Charlie and Dog went to #1 on the folk-acoustic DJ charts and was named Album of the Year (2008) by International Folk Alliance.

The Kennedys – believe the power of sound

Saturday October 5, 2024

The Linden Tree Concert series is excited to bring back Pete and Maura Kennedy to Wakefield on Saturday,October 5 at 7:30 pm.  Often seen on festival stages around the country, their visits to coffeehouses are extra special.  The Kennedys are an American folk-rock band recognized for their harmonies and instrumental prowess, blending elements of country music, bluegrass, Western swing and janglepop. 

The Kennedys began performing together in 1992, shortly after they met while on the road with Nanci Griffith. The pair’s musical influences are quite eclectic from Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, the Beatles, and the Byrds, but also jazz, blues, and world music.  With over 14 recordings as the Kennedys and many recorded individually and with others, Pete and Maura have no plans to slow down either on tour or in creating music.

Their latest recording Headwinds, their title track, shows their love of the United States. Political and social headwinds are making it hard to get back home to our greatness as a nation. The duo want to push back in a positive way against those winds. The thirteen songs are cast in a soundscape that draws from American roots. With a mix of instruments which includes a vintage steel guitar and  a slide Ukulele, Pete and Maura believe that these sounds will have the power to pull us through again.   https://www.kennedysmusic.com

From his website: “David Roth strikes many chords, hearts, and minds with his unique songs, offbeat observations, moving stories, sense of the hilarious, and powerful singing and subject matter. As singer, songwriter, recording artist, keynote speaker, workshop leader, and instructor, David has earned top honors at premier songwriter competitions – Kerrville (TX) and Falcon Ridge (NY) – and taken his music, experience, and expertise to a wide variety of venues in this and other countries full-time for three decades.”

This quote from Barbara and Graham Dean of Mostly Folk sums things up:

“From the beginning, David Roth has been a bold and fearless writer of songs. Nothing has changed with the release of ‘Last Day On This Earth.’ The stories are compelling, the songs are well-crafted, and David continues to take on the real issues that matter to all of us – and he does it with his signature gentle humor and biting wit.”

GREG GREENWAY appearance postponed.

Originally scheduled as our season-opener, Greg Greenway had to postpone appearing at the Linden Tree. Please visit his website to access his wonderful music: Greg Greenway

Here is a bit about Greg:

Born in the shadows of the now famous fallen statues of Richmond, VA, Greg Greenway moved to Boston for its rich Folk Music tradition. He has since become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. Musically raised on the magically percussive right hand of Richie Havens, and the flowing lyricism of Eric Andersen, these seminal influences became the DNA of his own unique and continuing growth. He has blended them into a multi-instrumental, genre crossing style – the never-ending process of a musical omnivore.

His eight-year collaboration with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks as Brother Sun, reached thousands of fans with their intricate three-part harmonies being heard in festivals and concert halls across the US and Canada. His newest project with his beloved friend of 35 years, Reggie Harris, is a musical presentation on Race in America called Deeper Than The Skin. \ One African-American, one White, together they convey a quintessential American story.

In the process, Greg’s music has touched people all over the world. “What Must Be Done” and “In the Name of Love,” (a lead into the U2 classic, “Pride,”) have been sung by choirs internationally. They have become defining pieces on his journey to becoming a consummate artist capable of addressing sensitive topics like Race in a way that connects audiences to their humanity while entertaining them at the same time.

In concert, Greg has been described as “one of the strongest, and finest voices in folk music.” The Boston Globe wrote, “Confessional one moment, rambunctiously disarming the next, few modern folk singers can own a coffeehouse stage as completely as Greenway.” Another reviewer perhaps described it best, “A profoundly rich poet and musician. Folk Music is too narrow a description.”

Musically, his guitar, piano, ukulele, and melodica reflect inspiration from all over the map–gospel, rock, blues, Jazz, and world music. But his center is in the singer/songwriter tradition that traces it roots all the way back to the social awareness of Woody Guthrie. His central appeal is that it all comes through the singular lens of Greenway’s own humanity and affinity for the audience. He has legendary energy, the wellspring of a presentation of high-spirited give and take of such good humor that audiences unfailingly walk away uplifted.

“Greg Greenway is one of those artists who is so rich a talent that it is difficult to categorize him. He traverses, combines and mixes up musical genres, and manages to open a window on global events that bring us together as citizens of the world. Like other great performers before him, Greenway’s message is that we can all play a part and make a difference in the course of both our private and public lives. But few musicians can do just this with such style, passion and sheer musicality.”Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
