🎻As part of Folk College, two live folk music concerts are open to the public.🪕
🪕The Friday, May 22 concert features three terrific acts: host band Simple Gifts offering world music and lots of fun; Ponyfolk, from Minnesota, offering indie/folk/rock, taking their inspiration from American and Scandinavian musical traditions; and Low Lily, offering a decidedly traditional sound reflecting both Appalachian and Celtic influences and featuring tight, haunting vocal harmonies supported by guitar and mandolin. 🎻
🪕 The Saturday, May 23 concert features three terrific acts: Scott Ainslie, a brilliant guitarist and storyteller who drinks from the well of American blues, a modern blues legend; Midnight on the Water takes the listener on a mind-bending journey through melodies sourced from the folk-classical-big band-jazz-musical theater traditions and merged in barely imaginable ways; and the foursome of High Horse brings youthful energy, close harmonies, and a bluegrass- inspired sensibility to their music. 🎻Join us for a free contradance after the concert.
📌The concerts are at 7 p.m. at Halbritter Center for Performing Arts on the Juniata College campus in Huntingdon, PA. 🎟 Tickets are available in advance at
https://huntingdoncountyarts.com/shop/, and at the door.
