PAST CONCERTS


Wed, Nov 16, 1pm: (yes- 1 pm) UU DOME. SMALL POTATOES. Cost- By Donation. Prior to the concert, from noon - 1 pm, there will be a BYO sack lunch & socializing hour. Drinks & goodies will also be available for purchase. Folks are welcome to come early for the BYO lunch or for the concert only. The concert will be 1-set and will last a little over an hour ( 1 hr, 15 min approx) . To kick off what we hope will be the first of a series of these mid-week afternoon concerts, we can think of no one better to do the honors than the deligtful Chigago duo -- SMALL POTATOES. www.smallpotatoesmusic.com
This duo is comprised of Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso. They are entertaining, energetic, eclectic and extremely talented. At their performances, one hears two great voices, fine guitar playing, and a touch of tin whistle, flute, mandolin, bodhran, and other percussion toys. Ya don't wanna dare miss the SPUDS.
Gloria's Comments: This was our first mid-week aft concert. It was fun. Nice socializing time & great music by Small Potatoes. We'll probably do some more of these "afternoon delight" concerts.

12/1/05 UU DOME: JAKE ARMERDING IN CONCERT. 7:30 pm. $8. At the crossroads of bluegrass and folk, Compass Records recording artist Jake Armerding is building a national reputation as an outstanding singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. "... the most gifted and promising songwriter to emerge from the Boston folk scene in years...he is also a first rate fiddler and mandolinist." Boston Globe. www.jakearmerding.com
Gloria's Comments: My first time seeing Jake. He was fantastic. Standing ovation -- wow- what a voice - wow - what musicianship.
