Scott Cook will perform for the Ripton Community Coffee House (on the road) on Saturday, Oct. 2, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday’s concert will be held at Holley Hall on Main Street in Bristol. Doors open at 7 p.m. The concert will also be live streamed.

A roots balladeer with a rare personal warmth, Cook has distilled the stories collected over 13 years of near-incessant touring across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere into straight-talking, keenly observant verse. He brings humor, a disarming honesty and a deep love of humanity to his songcraft and storytelling, accompanying himself with finger-style guitar and clawhammer banjo.

Proof of Covid vaccination and masks indoors are required. Refreshments will be available to be enjoyed outside only. Admission is $10, or if you’re feeling generous consider $15-$20. For more information call 802-388-9782 or visit rcch.org (where you’ll also find live streaming links).
