I apologize to those of you on this list who are not locally based, but folks on this list have shown an appreciation for community supported local musicians, and I wanted to spread the word:
Announcing The inaugural Eastern Village Cohousing House Concert
Saturday evening the 31st of March featuring singer/songwriters Lori Kelly and Cletus Kenelley.
Award-winning singer-songwriters on their own, Cletus Kennelly & Lori Kelley combined their artistries, developing a style and a sense for each other's voices that is magical. "I haven't heard harmonies this tight since Simon & Garfunkel" (Gene Dawson, Dawson Concerts) Their work has earned them 31 WAMMIE nominations and nine WAMMIE awards (Washington Area Music Awards) between them, including the WAMMIE award for BEST CONTEMPORARY FOLK GROUP (twice). Both approach their writing from a lyrical, melodic place with songs that speak to the heart. The wit and depth each adds to the other's songs makes for an engaging show. "Cletus and Lori are two standout solo performers whose voices blend beautifully." (Scott Moore,) As solo artists, and again as a duo, both Cletus & Lori were selected to perform at D.C.'s Kennedy Center.
The concert will take place in the common house of Eastern Village Cohousing located in Silver Spring, Maryland. We are asking for a fifteen dollar donation per person. Space is limited and reservations are required. Information and directions will be provided when we confirm your reservation.
