​

We love the origin story of Crowes Pasture, which is Andy Rogovin and Monique Byrne. The couple was putting one of their children to bed. They sang a song and broke into quiet harmony to fill out the lullaby. As they carefully closed the door on the sleeping child, they looked at each other and said, “That was fun.”

​

They have been serious about that fun ever since. Lots of original music, three albums and two EPs later, they have won an international acoustic music award, received numerous folk music award nominations and can be found touring on both coasts, Canada and in the UK. One of the things we love about this duo is the way they take a look at what’s happening around them, and to them, when they write songs. But they love a good cover, too: Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Woody Guthrie. You’ll find their music rooted in the folk tradition that speaks to hearts that are joyful, broken, and longing for peace and justice. They know there’s poetry in whatever is right here, right now. And the harmonies just keep coming.

First Church and Parish Dedham Unitarian Universalist was first gathered in 1638 and is located in Dedham Center at 670 High Street. Its lively music program includes choir at Sunday services, the Parish Players theater troupe, and First Friday Jazz & Classical Concerts, in addition to our Friday Folk Coffeehouse events.
