Ms. Menard, a Florida native, has been prinicpal violist of multiple orchestras. Her rich sound is the heart of the quartet.

B. CONCERTS/Events I'm Organizing at Skipper's Smokehouse http://www.skipperssmokehouse.com/
SKIPPERS (1)
Tuesday Oct 23. 8pm. $10.
TAFEE PRESENTS: JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE W/TED WRAY OPENING. In comparing Justin Townes Earle to his father, Steve Earle, it's apparent that the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree; however, with his impressive new EP, Yuma, it's also apparent that Justin has quite a bit in common with the man who gave him his middle name. Like the late Townes Van Zandt, Justin uses a base of acoustic blues and traditional folk to build his own brand of American roots music. ( Per Justin: "On Yuma, I do take a very traditional approach because it's what I've done the longest." ) Justin also shows influences from both Van Zandt and the elder Earle in his choice of a narrative style of songwriting that eschews self-expression in favor of speaking through various characters.
For more information on Justin and to hear his music, visit http://myspace.com/justinearle
ABOUT TED WRAY: Ted was a founder of the Tampabay Fingerstyle Guitar Guild. Between tirelessly participating in and promoting the Guild and its members, plus pursuing his own solo career, Ted stays very busy. He has, however, agreed to find time in his schedule to welcome fellow finger-style guitar player Justin Townes Earle to Tampa by particpating in Justin's Skipper's gig as his opening act.

David's one of those guys you may have heard of thru Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle, all of whom (among others) have covered his songs. The Houston Press described him this way: "...Olney stands out like a jalapeño in a bowl of vanilla pudding in Nashville, where he lives, and throughout an 18-album career has stubbornly gone his own way, making brilliant, unheralded albums as artists from Linda Ronstadt to bluegrass king Del McCoury record his songs."

SARAH LEE GUTHRIE & JOHNNY IRION www.sarahleeandjohnny.com . HOW TO PAY IN ADVANCE: See Gloria at church & pay her. Pay on-line at the church website via credit card or checking. If you pay on-line, your receipt is your ticket. Please bring it with you to the concert. It will be your entry to the concert.
“Authentic.” “Timeless.” “Harmonious.” “Exhilarating.” Any or all of these adjectives could describe the sound created by Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion (eye-ree-un). Their musical richness... is irrefutable proof that Sarah Lee, the disarming granddaughter of Woody & daughter of Arlo, and her husband and musical partner Johnny Irion, the prodigious South Carolinian, quite naturally bring out the best in each other.
