Hello and Happy First Week of Spring!
We have some updates for you regarding our performance schedule.
Sat., March 26 . . . Tim Wiedenkeller, extremely talented
and versatile musician from Tucson, Arizona, will be performing . . . we know
so many of you have been awaiting his return to the Arizona Folklore Preserve.
Tim sings and plays guitar, mandolin, trumpet . . . and banjo . . . banjo that
has rather become his trademark. He plays extraordinarily beautiful classical
banjo . . . most of which are his own compositions. Along with a wide variety
of music, Tim will be playing some of his banjo compositions this weekend which
are featured on his eagerly-awaited, just released CD entitled
"Milagros". Tim's performances are always unique and well loved by
our audiences . . . don't miss him.
Sun., March 27 . . . We will be closed in
observation of Easter. Happy Easter to all.
Sat. & Sun., April 2 & 3 . . . We
will be closed for the weekend. Maybe this is a bit selfish on our parts, but
we just can't help it! Dolan Ellis,
who most of you know was an original member of the New Christy Minstrels, will
be performing in Queen Creek, Arizona on Sat., April 2 with the Christy
Minstrels in a reunion concert . . . we'll all be there. In fact, we just
learned that ticket demand has been so active, they've just added a second
concert to be performed on Sun., April 3. If any of you has interest in these
concerts that promise to make for a fun evening, the phone number for Queen Creek Performing Arts
Center is 1-480-987-7469.
