Long Island Concert Calendar

The LIMEHoF is excited about the return of the Mountain Maidens.  These three dynamic voices, blended in splendid ancient and modern harmonies will lift your spirit, excite your senses and warm your heart.   They sing ballads, folk songs, Medieval, Irish Traditional music, love songs, country and gospel songs including themes of social justice to the accompaniment of guitars, banjo, dulcimer, bouzouki, dumbec, spoon, castanets and lots of percussion instruments including washboard.  They met at Swing The Teapot Irish Pub in Floral park where they were singing Irish music for St. Patrick’s day they knew right then and there they would be a trio. There was instant magic, harmony and camaraderie. Marie plays just about every string and percussion instrument there is (guitar, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, Irish Bouzouki, dumbec, bones and spoons) and sings British and American folksongs and Jewish music. Candice (Candy) Baranello is a member of the Long Island group Wild Ginger, and the duo Take Two. She plays dulcimer, washboard, and bodhran and sings traditional, Old Timey, classical and gospel. Lorraine is a member of the Huntington Choral Society, plays guitar and flamenco castanets, dance board and sings in a beautiful alto.

Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, Huntington Station-based Toby Tobias has immersed himself in many genres of American Music while never leaving behind his roots in the rhythms and melodies of his homeland. His keen ear for intuitive arrangements is a hallmark of his writing and performance, and he has garnered a strong following on Long Island and in the tri-state area.

‘Loopers In The Round’ SLI Presents: The ‘Write of Spring’

The Songwriters of Long Island are proud to present their next presentation at the Long Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame entitled ‘Loopers in the Round’, ‘The Write of Spring’. This Spring 2026 Equinox timed show will feature 3 of Long Island’s top and trending Songwriters, improvisation masters and legends of the Looper pedals. The artists at this special one of a kind show are J. Peter Hansen, Rorie Kelly and Dan Graziano – aka Graztopia. The show will be presented ‘Nashville style’ – in the round, as the artists will take turns sharing their ‘live compositions’ and improvising together.

This show will mark the 4th show that the Songwriters of Long Island have presented at LIMEHOF. All of the shows have had different themes and have reached legendary status in our archives. The 1,820 current members of SLI are deeply indebted and forever grateful.

LIMEHOF is proud to continue our longstanding tradition of honoring the individuals who have shaped the music and entertainment landscape on Long Island. On March 28, we are especially honored to present a Legacy Induction recognizing four of our own board members – Ernie Canadeo, Jim Faith, Kevin O’Callaghan, and Norm Prusslin.

Each of these honorees has played a pivotal role in the evolution of LIMEHOF. Through their leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment, they have helped guide the organization’s mission, strengthen its presence in the community, and ensured that Long Island’s rich music and entertainment heritage is celebrated and preserved.

The evening’s celebration will begin with a cocktail reception at 7 PM. The Legacy Induction Ceremony will follow at 8 PM, where we will formally recognize and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of these four distinguished leaders.

We look forward to sharing this memorable night with our community as we honor those who have helped shape the past, present, and future of LIMEHOF.

Originally started on Long Island in 2011, Medicine Fish is a New York/Pennsylvania group that cooks their music only using raw sound ingredients.

Their studio albums/EPs/singles and a selection of high-quality live recordings are available on their Bandcamp page (medicinefish.bandcamp.com).
