Folkus Fans!

This Friday, November 21, at 8 o'clock, JOHN ROSSBACH AND CHESTNUT  
GROVE perform at May Memorial.

A remarkable run of more than twenty years will come to end when the  
Folkus Project presents the farewell concert of John Rossbach and  
Chestnut Grove. Originally from West Virginia, Rossbach has lived in  
Syracuse for twenty-four years, but he's moving back to his Mountain  
State roots. This event will celebrate the career of the renowned  
Central New York musician who founded the group and has kept it true  
to its traditional bluegrass origins.

For more than twenty years, Rossbach has led Chestnut Grove up and  
down the Eastern seaboard. During that time, this highly acclaimed  
ensemble gained a reputation for its dedication to tradition while  
broadening its musical style. From Highland reels and mountain  
ballads to old time waltzes and blistering banjo breakdowns, Chestnut  
Grove plays the finest in traditional bluegrass and Appalachian  
music. This quintet of versatile singers and award winning multi- 
instrumentalists always delivers a high-energy show.

This concert coincides with May Memorial's Holiday Craft Show. Anyone  
who buys a ticket can come early and attend the Craft Show on Friday  
evening for free. The Craft Show closes at 8 o'clock.

It's nice to know you'll be coming! Drop us an email or give a call  
and we'll save the seats up front for you!

To reserve seats for the show, e-mail tickets at folkus.org or call  
315-440-7444. Please tell us your name and how many seats to hold.

If you'd like to volunteer to help staff the show, e-mail  
volunteer at folkus.org.

This is the music we love! This is who we are!
