Update: the June 14 James Lee Stanley Concert has been canceled
From Sharon Abreu
I met James Lee Stanley playing at a folk music festival in New Jersey. Three weeks later I went to one of James’s concerts at a wonderful venue in New York called The Towne Crier. I was blown away by James’s musicianship. He plays guitar as if the instrument is a living, pulsing appendage attached to his body. He makes it sound like an orchestra with no apparent effort. James instinctively knows how to make a song sound special. In addition to being a consummate musician, James has an unusually entertaining rapport with his audiences.
We became friends. James produced an album for Mike and me, and we’ve been lucky enough to have him come and play on Orcas a few times. His last concert on Orcas was so packed with enthusiastic listeners that it seemed the walls might bust out. So this time, James will be playing at the Odd Fellows Hall.
Everyone is encouraged to come out for an evening of hilarity and truly outstanding music on June 14, 7:30 pm at the Odd Fellows Hall in Eastsound.
Admission is on a sliding scale from $12-$25 at the door. For more information, call 376-5773 or visit www.jamesleestanley.com
