Mike Sheehy plays guitar and harmonica and Jan Sheehy plays bass. Both sing. They have a vocal harmony style that has been compared to Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons. Almost all songs are original. They played their first gig in 2010 and since then have played with Billy Bragg and Fred Eaglesmith.
The Milkhouse Heaters have two songs on the Shoulder to the Plough CD, which was recorded live at the Rockingham Meeting House. The Shoulder to the Plough concert was put together by Flying Under the Radar and Vermont Festivals LLC to benefit the farmers who were hard hit by Hurricane Irene. The concert was completely acoustic – no electricity, no PA, and no lights. All proceeds from the CD continue to support the farmers.
The Milkhouse Heaters have been playing in and around New England and are preparing to record their debut CD.
This concert is free and held at the Meetinghouse at 21 Fairground Rd in Springfield. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.; music starts at 7 p.m. Snacks and beverages are available for purchase. All are welcome.
