    COFFEE HOUSE

    Friday, October 12, 2018                                    Doors open at 6:30 PM

    Featuring: “Unspent Youth“

    Unspent Youth is a 7-member folk revival ensemble that serves as 317 Main Community Music Center’s Deep Roots ambassador band. The players first met one another at the music center in 2016, bonding over a shared passion for the voices that shaped their generation such as Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Tom Rush and the Kingston Trio. The name Unspent Youth speaks to their own coming of age story. Rather than bemoaning a misspent youth, these seniors spent their younger years working to finish college and grad school, raising families and building careers. They say they are now loving the chance to explore more fully the music which has always moved through their lives.

    The ensemble includes Jeff White, guitarist and retired attorney; Chip Foye, guitarist and former banking executive; Jim Shaffer, guitarist and retired media executive; Bob Bergesch, banjo player and retired banker; and Dick Merrick, guitarist and retired psychologist. Jim Atherton plays bass, while his wife Barbara plays both fiddle and mandolin (and occasionally Kazoo;) both Jim and Barbara retired from careers in government service.

    The group has honed its sound under the direction of 317 Main Teaching Artist, Jake Hoffman, who contributes his own passion for folk and old-time music traditions.

    Jake has helped the ensemble, most of whom are self-taught, shore up their playing skills and find their footing as a performance ensemble.

    On stage, the members of Unspent Youth have a warm and friendly presence as they take turns singing lead and finding harmonies.  And unlike some of their contemporaries who don’t like to talk about their age, they celebrate it.

    “Our age is part of our brand,” says Jim Shaffer with a smile.

    317 Main Community Music Center is committed to creative expression at every stage of life.  The Yarmouth-based non-profit is a state leader in creative aging programming, with Deep Roots music and dance classes geared specifically to musicians 55 and older.

    “Unspent Youth is a great example of what’s possible at any age,” said Chris Moore, 317 Main’s Director of Music Education.  “Come join us!”

    Not quite 55 yet?  We won’t tell if you won’t.  www.317main.org
