July 28th at 2pm!
“Beyond a Simple Folk Song” was conceived in 2009 to be an annual concert of music that challenges acoustic singer/songwriters and musicians to venture out of their comfort zones and stretch their craft beyond the constructs and scope of a song.

Headline Act - The Piedmont Bluz
A Piedmont Blūz concert isn’t just music – it’s an experience as they transport you back to the 1920s and 1930s, the hey-day of acoustic Country Blues music.

First half Act - Kurt Henry and Cheryl Lambert , a dynamic guitar/harmonica duo, always surprise and delight people with the diversity of their repertoire, both covers and originals.

First half Act - Kevin Becker has composed a chamber piece entitled, “Folk Themes and Variations,” which is a unique blending of folk and classical music.

TONIGHT! Saturday, June 29, 2024, 7PM. AN EVENING WITH SALLY MAYES.

Sally Mayes is perhaps best known for her performance in the Roundabout Theater revival of SHE LOVES ME for which she won Tony,Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle nominations. The NEW YORK TIMES calls her ‘incandescent, deliciously saucy.’ PEOPLE Magazine describes her as ‘the kind of rich theatrical voice that elevates a show tune.’ And TIME Magazine says ‘Sally Mayes renders songs as richly nuanced as one-act plays.’

Sally made her Broadway debut in Cy Coleman’s WELCOME TO THE CLUB. Her performance won critical praise along with a Theater World Award and Outer Critics Circle nomination as one of Broadway’s Outstanding Newcomers. On Broadway, Sally appeared as Aunt Corene in URBAN COWBOY (Drama Desk nomination). She drew raves as Mae West in the National Tour of DIRTY BLONDE and also appeared in the Broadway revival of STEEL MAGNOLIAS.

This performance is likely to sell-out! Get your tickets at https://ci.ovationtix.com/36784/production/1190753
