The relationship between an audience and a musician is often symbioticâboth the performer and the listener receive something from the experience. âWe love performing for an audience and need to do it as much as they enjoy hearing it,â said Mary Lindberg, who together with her partner John Redden comprise the acoustic duo The Silent Trees.
In terms of playing live music, 2020 was definitely a year for the record books.
âIn March we knew something serious was happening, and we knew it would affect us because we play shows every weekend,â said Mr. Redden, adding that the pair, who have been together as a band for 10 years, are usually booked for gigs every Friday and Saturday and have a regular Thursday night gig in the summer playing at the West Falmouth Market.
