Buskin & Batteau and Friends

4:30 pm, Sunday, May 24, 2026, Cotuit Center for the Arts

The Harvard Club of Cape Cod and the Cotuit Center for the Arts invite you for just one performance of Buskin & Batteau, who will be joined on stage with talented comedic friends--the baton-twirling (really!) folk jesters Christine Lavin, Carla Ulbrich, and John Forster (Harvard ’69)--in their newest concert venture, April Fools.  Performing songs of merriment and more. Known for their witty, sophisticated songs, rich harmonies, and masterful musicianship, blended melodic pop, folk grit, and sharp humor--just the right way to kick-off your summer of ’26!
 

David Buskin and Robin Batteau bring decades of musical friendship, harmony, and joy to the stage. Known for their sophisticated folk sound and genre-spanning careers—from iconic covers to unforgettable jingles—the duo has earned acclaim from The New York Times, Joni Mitchell, and Bonnie Raitt.
 

Robin Batteau’s remarkable journey back to Harvard after a 53-year hiatus inspired a new body of work blending ancient Greek lyric poetry with contemporary song—proof that curiosity, creativity, and humor only deepen with time.
 

From clever storytelling to joyful harmonies, “April Fools” is a rare chance to experience master performers who know how to make an audience laugh, think, and sing along. Join us at Cotuit Center for the Arts for a night that celebrates the wit, warmth, and enduring power of live music.
