[Folkus Project] Amazing Fiddle and Banjo this weekend!

[Upcoming Folkus events]

Folkus Fans!

It's been a while since you've been to a concert, hasn't it?  That's  
why this weekend, you'll go to two!

Really, it's amazing music coming our way this weekend: Friday brings  
April Verch to May Memorial and Saturday it's Tony Trischka doing two  
shows at the Westcott Community Center.  Here's more:

This Friday, March 7, at 8 o'clock, APRIL VERCH performs at May  
Memorial.
Energetic fiddle playing and stepdancing from north of the border
	Pure energy infuses the virtuoso fiddle playing and stepdancing of  
April Verch.  Her concerts are invigorating, surprising,  
heartwarming, charming, thrilling, foot-stomping– all in all, utterly  
unforgettable. Her music, a beguiling blend of folk, jazz, old-time,  
bluegrass and roots, is woven together with precision, intensity and  
soul. The finely detailed elegance of her fiddle phrasing is  
complemented by her strong, confident singing. Verch and her band  
have toured around the world, winning audiences over not only with  
technical ability, but also with charm, humor and boundless energy on  
stage.

This Saturday, March 8, TONY TRISCHKA
Three-time IBMA winner and Grammy nominee from Syracuse returns to  
his roots
TWO SHOWS: 7:00 & 9:00 p.m.   ***Reservations strongly recommended!!***
For reservations call the Westcott Community Center at (315) 478-8634.
	One of the world's most dynamic and respected banjo players,  
Syracuse native Tony Trischka returns to his hometown for two shows  
celebrating three prestigious awards, a Grammy nomination and the  
imminent release of a new CD. Trischka's gifts as a musician and  
arranger, coupled with his unrivaled knowledge of banjo history and  
technique, have inspired a whole generation of progressive bluegrass  
musicians.  Tony will be joined by Michael Daves -- an amazing singer  
and dazzling guitarist.

VOLUNTEER LEADER NEEDED!
Community Relations and Partnerships

The Folkus Project is looking for a Volunteer Leader to help  
establish and maintain relationships with other organizations in the  
region that might benefit from or share an interest in Folkus  
programming. Folkus is attempting to create cross-programming and  
cross-promotion opportunities with arts organizations, schools,  
churches, and any other cultural or educational groups that might  
wish to partner with Folkus in such efforts. The ideal volunteer will  
have an entrepreneurial spirit in identifying such opportunities, and  
an ease with contacting such organizations and establishing a  
relationship. If you think you might be interested, e-mail  
volunteer at folkus.org. Thanks. Volunteering with Folkus is a  
rewarding, life-altering experience (plus you get into the concerts  
for free!).
