On June 8, Sundays at Stetson’s will present Jeanie Fitchen and Jim Bickerstaff at Beluthahtachee.
As a young teenager Fitchen found her niche in the simple beauty and artistic style of traditional music from around the world. Throughout the years, however, she began to write and record her own songs, earning a 1999 Grammy nomination for her CD, “Roads,” in the category of Best New Folk Album.
For her long-standing contributions to the folk cultural resources of the state, Fitchen received a Florida Folk Heritage Award in 2001. For the songs she has written and sung in praise and defense of Florida’s natural and cultural heritage, she was honored with The Fellow Man and Mother Earth Award by The Stetson Kennedy Foundation in 2010. And In recognition of her legacy of performances as a Florida singer-songwriter and for her contributions to the Florida Folk Festival, she was inducted into the 2016 Florida Folk Festival’s Legends and Legacy Hall of Fame.
As an independent producer and engineer, Bickerstaff worked with Jupiter Coyote, Chief Jim Billie, Sarah McCulloch, Fitchen, Mindy Simmons, Raiford Starke, Joey Errigo, Clyde Walker, Sam Pacetti, Vassar Clements, John McEuen, Bela Fleck, Upsala and hundreds of other Indie artists.
As a writer and performer, Bickerstaff has released three albums of his music with some of the best musicians in the business.
Music starts at 2 p.m. No reservations necessary. A $10 donation is suggested to help support the presentation of live local music.
Beluthahatchee is located a quarter mile south of Roberts Road at 1523 S.R. 13, Fruit Cove. (The concert is held at the Hart House at the end of the short dirt road.)
