SUMMARY:On Sale: Bluegrass with Laurie Lewis and Nina Gerber!
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be at Knox Presbyterian Chuch. Purchase your tickets now through Eventbrite. Including fees\, Adults are $39.19 and Caltech students and youth through high school are $12.51. \nOur FAQ will answer your questions about parking\, seating\, refreshments\, and more. \n———————————————————————————————————————– \nLaurie Lewis is a multi-award winning American bluegrass singer\, musician\, and songwriter. She’ll be joined by Nina Gerber\, a favored accompanist to some of folk music’s most revered singer-songwriters. \n \n“To ask how Laurie Lewis’s music is relevant in this day and age\, in the broader folk\, Americana\, and bluegrass scenes as a whole\, would be similar to asking how a brick in a home’s foundation is relevant to its structure. Her influence\, her reach and her artistic intent are quiet stalwarts on which so much has been built.” Justin Hiltner\, Bluegrass Situation \n\nFor nearly four decades\, Laurie Lewis has gathered fans and honors for her powerful and emotive voice and her versatile\, dynamic songwriting. She is a sought-after recording producer and an equally skilled teacher and mentor. \n\nWhile steeped in the bluegrass tradition\, Laurie’s songwriting demonstrates her ability to surpass the limitations of that genre. Her works reflect her wide range of influences: from old time and country to Tin Pan Alley\, jazz standards and early rock ‘n roll. A recent project\, and Laurie Lewis\, is a series of duets with old friends (Kathy Kallick\, Tom Rozum\, Craig Smith\, Mike Marshall\, Nina Gerber\, Barbara Higbie\, and Todd Phillips)\, and the newest generation of acoustic standouts (Molly Tuttle\, Leah Wollenberg and Tatiana Hargreaves). \nIt would take pages to include all the accolades Nina Gerber has received from the many songwriters she has worked with. Born and raised in the semi-rural outskirts of Sebastopol\, CA\, Gerber has been an undeniable staple of the West Coast acoustic music scene since the late 70’s.  As David Rawlings is to Gillian Welch\, Gerber is to countless singer-songwriters: her musical choices are surprising\, intriguing\, deserving of one’s full attention\, and at the same time\, sit comfortably within the framework of any given song. \nIf available\, tickets will be sold at the door the night of the concert\, $40 for Adults and $10 for Caltech students and youth. Cash or Check only.

SUMMARY:On Sale: Singer-songwriter Sarah McQuaid
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be at Knox Presbyterian Chuch. Purchase your tickets now through Eventbrite. Including fees\, Adult tickets are $33.85 and Caltech students/youth through high school are $12.51. \nSarah McQuaid’s lush\, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars\, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth\, wit\, and intimacy\, and have earned her loyal followings on both sides of the Atlantic. \nBorn in Spain\, raised in Chicago\, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England\, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating\, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material. From contemplative ballads to playful blues to atmospheric instrumentals\, Sarah’s music invites reflection\, connection\, and a deep appreciation of the quiet power of a well-crafted song. \nIn April 2017\, Sarah was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Ards International Guitar Festival in Newtownards\, Northern Ireland (previous recipients include legendary guitarists Davey Graham\, John Renbourn\, John Martyn\, Martin Simpson\, Pierre Bensusan and Martin Carthy) in recognition of her innovative use of DADGAD tuning and her authorship of the Irish DADGAD Guitar Book. Presenting the award\, Ernie McMillen of Avalon Guitars said “It is rare in the guitar world to find a player who displays genius without arrogance\, and who shares their hard-won skill and knowledge so selflessly. I get to see many specialist guitarists up close\, and many over-perform. It’s honey for the soul to witness Sarah McQuaid perform.” \n \nEnjoy Sarah’s music on: \n\nWebsite sarahmcquaid.com/music\nYoutube www.youtube.com/channel/UCvf4HEYTqVkSpZKeVPm7AhQ\nBandcamp sarahmcquaid.bandcamp.com/\n\nIf available\, tickets will be available at the door the night of the concert\, $35 for Adults and $10 for Caltech students and youth.
