SMALL POTATOES www.smallpotatoesmusic.com " One of the most polished, inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit." MAGGI & PIERCE (ALSO KNOWN AS HYMN FOR HER) http://www.myspace.com/hymnforher http://www.hymnforher.com/ "Alone, they make music. Together, they make magic." What better way to start the new year than with the music of Jacquie & Rich and Maggi & Pierce, ie, a duo of duos. A double bill at the UU Dome that is not to be missed.

(There will also be a pre-event acoustic songcircle outside on the grounds from 1:00 - 2:45; participants and listeners welcome. ) Friends of Florida Folk, Inc, and the UU Church of Tampa are teaming up to present this event, the theme of which was inspired by theEdward R. Morrow award winning Radio Documentary of the same name. The documentary, which was produced by the University of Florida and WUFT FM,Gainesville, is about the Tri-State Water Wars (Fla, Ga, Ala) andFlorida's precarious water situation . During the event, there will be mostly music but also brief commentary by environmentalist Dale Crider and by Bill Beckett and Donna Green-Townsend of WUFT. The featured musicians in our lineup provided songs for the documentary. They will perform not only those songs, but also additional ones of their choice. There will also be a beautiful nature artwork display by Roxanne Tobiason of Brandon.
