The live music streams forth in thirds, fifths and minor sevenths at Café Artichoke this month and it’s not online – it’s onstage.
There are two upcoming concerts to raise funds for Artichoke Community Music’s programs.
• Sunday October 5, Peaceful Sorrow & Matt Meighan – Adam Yust’s writes soulful, sweet songs. They’re complemented by Ping Chen’s classically modern viola and Indigo Hall’s cello. This trio creates new Folk within the old Folk paradigm.
• Sunday October 13, Sophie and the Bad Boys – Bad Boys Tim Davis, John Richter, John Manns and Dale Jones join Sophie for an evening of roots music.
• Sunday October 26, Ronn McFarlane, Modern Lutenist
McFarlane brings the lute into today’s musical mainstream, making it accessible to a wider audience while referencing its history. With over forty records to date, McFarlane has recorded both traditional and original music.
Sunday shows begin at 7 pm. Tickets to all concerts are $15.
