Event
Uncle Fran's Breakfast
On Saturday, March 20th at 7:00 pm, Uncle Fran's Breakfast, a band of three seasoned High Mowing musicians, will present a concert to benefit High Mowing School. The concert, which will take place in the big room at High Mowing, will include acoustic and electric blues and progressive rock.
Musician Elise MacDonald says, Uncle Fran's Breakfast combines a vital blues sound with intermittent colors of rockabilly and even jazz fusion. Their up-tempo tunes will have your toe tapping, but their heartfelt ballads are perhaps even more extraordinary. This trio of NH high school students has made the blues their own."
Uncle Fran's Breakfast includes Jonah Tolchin '11 on guitar, lead vocals and harmonica; Shea Vaccaro '10 on bass and lead vocals; and Seamus Conley '11 on drums and harmony vocals. Uncle Frans Breakfast has performed at Studio 99 in Nashua, Nelsons in Wilton, the Milford Pumpkin Festival, and for public access TV. The trio, who play original songs as well as covers, has been working together for two and a half years and were previously known as Gentlemen of Leisure. For this concert they will be joined by guest artist Caitlin Gillam '11 on lead vocals.
Jonah has performed multiple times at Studio 99 in Nashua and Nelson's in Wilton. He studied with Wilbo Wright in New Jersey and Flynn Cohen in New Hampshire. Seamus has studied drums and percussion for the past ten years with Judith Bruneau. He also plays and composes music on guitar, bass and piano as. Shea is a bass and guitar player, singer and songwriter. He played in various venues around Rhode Island and New England, including the youth guitar ensemble at King Richards Fair in Connecticut.
