Aubrey Atwater In Concert At Folk School
Aubrey Atwater presents a captivating program of original and traditional folk music performed on the guitar, mountain dulcimer, tin whistle and banjo. A native of Rhode Island, she has traveled to Ireland six times since 1984 to research Irish culture, history and music, as well as to perform. She has taught mountain dulcimer, banjo and ballad singing at the Hindman Settlement School in Kentucky, the Ozark Folk Center, the Swannanoa Gathering at Warren Wilson College and at the Folk School. Atwater's 1992 solo recording, Simple Sentences, was praised by critics including Stephen Ide of Dirty Linen who wrote," Atwater's solo debut...shines in 14 original songs... most are crafted, stunning presentations that seethe with emotion and beauty, aided by Atwater's delicious soprano voice." She has also recorded a second solo album, seven CDs with her husband Elwood Donnelly and has published three books of poetry. Upcoming Folk School concert performers include RedHead Express (February 29) and The Blue Eyed Girls (March 14).
The Friday night concert schedule is available on the world wide web at: http://www.folkschool.org. For further information call the Folk School at 828-837-2775 or 1-800-FOLK-SCH.
