Mustard’s Retreat had been performing as a duo for about 40 years all across the United States when they became a trio by adding the glorious voice of Libby Glover, long-time friend and musical collaborator. The duo, consisting of David Tamulevich and Michael Hough, has always been known for their skill in combining original witty and whimsical songs with other creations that are insightful and profound. Tamulevich describes their sound as “defiantly hopeful”.

Playing different combinations of guitar, dulcimer, pennywhistle, harmonica and vocals, the trio continues that tradition with perfection. Since the release of the trio’s CD, called “Make Your Own Luck”, the group has been receiving even more national attention, with the CD listed as # 6 in the country on the Folk DJ chart. Two of the songs that are hitting the mark are “Make Your Own Luck,” a bouncy, optimistic piece of advice, and “I’m Gonna Walk It,” a song by Ellie Grace about the Women’s March.

An earlier song, “Ours is a Simple Faith,” is often used as an affirmation of peace and justice in places of worship and other organizations. Their songs are appropriate for all ages, including a funny little ditty called “It’s Got Teeth.”

The opening act is Marcia Feldman, an accomplished guitarist and singer from Westwood. She has produced four recordings; Stand Up, Believe in Spring, Hospice Music and Between the Worlds. In addition to her versatile vocal style, she plays soothing classical guitar music at the bedside for people at the end of life to ease their final days and runs a palliative care program in a retirement village. She also performs in churches and coffeehouses in Massachusetts where she is sought after for her haunting and elegant vocal style.
