The Falmouth Art Market features singers Rose and Jerry from 2 to 4 PM on Tuesday, August 13, along with over 30 creative artists from 11 AM until 5 PM, at Falmouth Marine Park, 180 Scranton Avenue. In addition, there will be a Meet the Author booth, lunch from the Filling Station Food Truck, and ice cream from Sea Scoops.
Rose Martin and Jerry Doherty, both accomplished vocalists and guitarists in their own right, join forces as Rose and Jerry, singing and playing an eclectic mix of blues, country, bluegrass and rock on guitar.
Rose, a singer/songwriter, performs original and cover songs on acoustic guitar with her rich vocals and a soulful bluesy style.
Jerry plays an amalgamation of roots music, folk music, blues, old-school jazz, and country music. He aims to create a feel-good atmosphere with both his covers and originals. He has opened for such acts as the Beach Boys, Charlie Daniels, Alan Jackson, Alison Krauss, Sawyer Brown, and many others.
This is the final Falmouth ArtMarket of the season until the market returns next summer.
