Saturday, March 28, 7 p.m., House Concert
— from Tom Rawson —
Tom Rawson, folksinger and storyteller from Eastsound, Washington, is the West Coast’s very own version of Pete Seeger. Armed with longneck banjo and other weapons of mass delight, Tom is a master of warmth and wit who loves to share his musical treasures with an ‘I know something you don’t know and you’re gonna love it too’ kind of smile.
Ellen van der Hoeven is a singer/songwriter from Vancouver. Her songs are influenced by her rich background in British, Irish, Canadian and American folk, and include references to fairy tales, family relationships, and of course, the universality of love. She accompanies her songs on guitar and mandolin, and is most notable for her expressive singing style.
From gospel to contemporary, profound to downright silly, Tom and Ellen will have you singing, clapping, and laughing along all night. Join us for some humorous stories, user-friendly songs, and acoustic folk philosophy that’s guaranteed to leave you smiling. Tune up your vocal chords; you’ll need ’em!
Bring a dessert to share, if you feel like it. If not, just come and sing along! Suggested Donation: $10-15. West Sound/Deer Harbor area. Space is limited. Reservations/Directions: pebblecovefarm@hotmail.com or phone 376-6161
