Saturday, November 19th, 7:30 p.m.

Carolyn Cruso, Larry Murante and Tracy Spring, northwest singer/songwriters will perform together and solo in an intimate songwriter-in-the-round concert. The ‘In the Round’ format is widely loved by performers and audiences alike. All three performers will be on stage at once, each playing a song or two before the baton is passed to the next player as if sharing songs around a campfire… a very intimate and interactive experience.

Seattle-based Larry Muranteis known for his beautifully woven stories about every day folks, combining compassionate, socially conscious lyrics and an upbeat, joyful, energetic folk/rock style. Bellingham native Tracy Springis known for her rich, compelling vocals, diverse writing and intricate guitar work,from searing love ballads and playful blues to songs that contemplate new life, the end of life and the spectrum in between.

Orcas Island’s own Carolyn Cruso roams the back roads of the country and of the mind with poetic lyrics, rich chord voicing and a style that ranges from folk to pop to jazz, taking the listener on a journey of beauty, redemption, compassion and humor.

All three performers are regionally and nationally known for their full range, emotive singing, exceptional guitar work and award-winning songwriting.

All tickets are $10 and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org  or by calling  376-2281 ext 1 or visiting the Orcas Center box office open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon- 4 pm.
