[FM] Fall House Concert Schedule (Berkeley, CA)

[Sally Greenberg]

Hello All,

Thanks for all of your great support during this past fall!

I'll be running 4 concerts this spring season  all of which should be 
incredible!  Two old favorites and two new performers - both of whom I've 
been trying to book for a couple of years!!

Introducing the Spring 2007 line-up...

Sunday, January 7th:  7:30PM         Still on the Hill           $14 
adv/$16  door
This is my first time presenting this incredible duo from Arkansas, but 
I've been trying to set up a date with them for a couple of 
years.  Although they are both singer-songwriters, they are anything but 
your typical singer-songwriters!  They come from the bluegrass and folk 
traditions, but write songs for today.  Their repertoire is primarily their 
own original, roots-based compositions interspersed with new arrangements 
of traditional songs.  Kelly plays guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and 
tenor ukulele and Donna plays fiddle, cello, mandolin, washboard, and 
mbira.  They have won numerous awards and have performed at many major US 
folk festivals including Kerrville and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.  I 
stumbled into one of their Folk Alliance showcases by chance several years 
ago (I was going to see the next act), and have been hooked ever 
since.  This will be a real treat, promising to be a great evening.

Sunday, February 18th:  7:30PM      Jim Malcolm              $18 adv 
(advance payment required unless seats are still available a few days 
before the concert)
Scottish singer & songwriter Jim Malcolm probably needs no introduction at 
my place.  Former lead singer and guitarist of the Scottish folk band, Old 
Blind Dogs, Jim is now pursing a full time solo career with a mix of his 
own songs and traditional songs.  Jim was voted Songwriter of the Year in 
the 2004 Scots Music Awards.  Jim routinely sells out 2 concerts at my 
place, but due to the logistics of this trip, he is only available for one 
concert.  Hence, the requirement to pay in advance for what is sure to be a 
very popular concert.

Sunday, April 29th:  7:30PM             Jez Lowe                   $16 adv 
or door
Long before I started presenting house concerts, North East English 
singer-songwriter Jez Lowe was one of my favorite performers, and it's been 
brilliant to see him turn into one of your favorite performers as 
well.  Since it's not certain where Jez will be performing the day before, 
we don't yet know whether this will be a single evening concert or if an 
afternoon concert will also be added.  If an afternoon one is added, it 
will be with completely different songs.  Reservations and prepayments will 
only be taken for the evening concert at this point.

Sunday, June 3rd:  7:30PM             Maria Dunn                $14 
adv/$16  door
This is my first time presenting this remarkable singer-songwriter from 
Edmonton.  I first saw Maria perform in Glasgow a few years ago, and then 
subsequently at the Edmonton and Vancouver Folk Music Festivals.  I also 
ran into her at the Folk Alliance Conference in Nashville a few years ago, 
and had a chance to chat with her about coming to the area.  Well, it's 
finally come together!  Maria is a fabulous young singer-songwriter who 
will just blow you away!  She's Scottish-born, but has lived in Canada for 
most of her life.  She has 3 CDs to her credit, one of which was nominated 
for a JUNO award in the Roots/Traditional Solo Category.  Her songwriting 
frequently reflects both historical and contemporary characters that come 
to life in her songs.  Maria accompanies herself on accordion and guitar.

Pre-payment for these concerts gives you the privilege of choosing your 
seat(s) at the time of payment.  Advance payment can be sent via paypal by 
going to http://www.sgreenberg.org/concerts.htm and following the link to 
the payment page.  Alternatively, you can e-mail me for details on sending 
a check.   All money goes to the performer(s).

Please confirm by e-mail, phone, or fax that I still have seats available 
before sending a check or making a paypal payment.  Reservations are 
required for all concerts.  For reservations, information, & 
directions:e-mail reservations at sgreenberg.org or  call 510-644-2135.

I hope to see you at my house!!!   Thanks for your continued support and 
for helping to make this so successful!

Sally
