MARBLEHEAD — As part of its 50th anniversary season, the me&thee coffeehouse has invited four photographers to exhibit their best work portraying the widely varied musical talent presented at the Mugford Street venue since 1970. Photographs by Cliff Garber, Scotten Jones, Peter Morris and Reid Simpson will be featured in the exhibit “The Me&Thee at 50: Tradition & Transition.”
Among the photos displayed are pictures of Pete Seeger at Abbot Hall, Tony and Grammy Award winner Anais Mitchell workshopping her hit musical “Hadestown” at the me&thee in 2011, and Grammy winner Suzanne Vega singing to a sold-out house last fall.
Also included in the exhibit will be a few historical displays showing photos and posters going back to its opening as “a night of folk music” on Feb. 20, 1970, as well as the three winning designs from last year’s poster contest.
The exhibit will be on display at the Stetson Gallery, Unitarian Universalist Church, 28 Mugford St., through March 15. The me&thee is the longest running, all-volunteer acoustic music series in the country.
