Debby McClatchy and "Special Guest" Lotta Crabtree

Click artist/group name to link to websites

The Linden Tree Coffeehouse returns on Saturday, September 25, 2010 with another year of monthly acoustic music concerts. This year’s shows feature performers from as far west as California and as far east as England. Area residents singles and families are encouraged to attend concerts that range in musical styles from blues to bluegrass, from traditional to contemporary folk. The opening night presents Debby McClatchy and her alter ego Ms Lotta Crabtree with some old time music and historical insights.

Californian Debby McClatchy is an expert entertainer with wit and imagination. While she plays a variety of acoustic instruments, when touring she just totes her 1907 Bacon 'FF Professional' banjo and maybe a fiddle. She is recognized as one of the finest frailed-banjo players in the accompanying style. Her combination of goodtime, old-time banjo, glorious singing- with occasional outbreaks of mountain fiddling and freestyle Appalachian stepping - has made her a favorite in clubs and at festivals.

Her father's great grandfather came from Ulster during the famine, was a 49er in the gold rush, and founded northern California's leading newspaper, The Sacramento Bee. It is said that her early years in San Francisco have had a great influence on the way she lives her life, and on her music. One of the songs on her album "Homemade Goodies" is all about the way she remembers the San Francisco of her childhood, and how its early character was ruined in the pursuit of money.

Debby's mother came from the Smoky Mountains, near Knoxville, Tennessee, belonging to a family going back seven generations to Thomas Jefferson's sister. Her mom sang Carter family songs as lullabies, music hall songs for fun.

Miss Lotta Crabtree, Debby’s other persona, will appear with costumes and props. Vivid recollections and humorous anecdotes from Lotta’s amazing life as a Gold Rush entertainer will delight audiences from ages 8 to 98. She’ll share minstrel show tunes, Gold Rush sing-a longs, and Irish airs.
