Simple Gifts Are Coming

Simple Gifts is (are) a duo (occasionally trio) of women uncommonly accomplished on almost any stringed (and often unstrung) instrument.

The duo will be visiting Sullivan County on August 13 at 7 pm, in St. Basil's Hall, under the auspices of the SCCA.

These are immensely talented, superbly versatile folk musicians who cover Appalachian, Celtic, Scandinavian and Eastern European music.

A spoons workshop (knee-slapping delight with dinner utensils) and a jam session with local musicians follow the concert.

Tickets ($10 adults, $2 children 12 and under) can be purchased by sending a check to SCCA, PO Box 243, Dushore, PA 18614.

Tickets will be held at the door. They will also be available on the day of performance.

The Sullivan County Council on the Arts (SCCA) is an umbrella organization working to foster and preserve the artistic and cultural lives of the residents of Sullivan County, a rural community of small towns, hemlock forests and serenity in the heart of the Endless Mountains.

Looking Ahead

Simple Gifts concert, workshop and jam session
Don't lose sight of the superb women's duo, Simple Gifts. These two can play just about any instrument and play it with skill, taste and beauty. When they come to St. Basil's in concert on August 13, they will also be holding a spoons workshop. Don't know about you, but editorial we have always loved the sound of rhythmic spoons being slapped against the knee, yet wondered how to do it effectively (especially if coordinationally challenged). Well, now we'll all be able to rattle the cutlery with grace and pizzazz. We're also looking for any and all local musicians to join in a jam session to follow the workshop. Both the workshop and jam session are free, but we'd really hope that you would plunk down the $10 ($2 for kids) to see the whole shebang. It will be something to remember.
