Americana! 🇺🇸
Committee member Kirk Hamilton has put together a concert of local performers to commemorate Independence Day.
The Americana Night is a star-spangled evening featuring US ex-pat Folk Club members to celebrate the 249th birthday of the United States. This is an eclectic group of talented individuals. Most of the folks are well-established orators and/or musicians of very popular bands! The line-up includes Terry Ebeling (Whirling Eddys and Slaughtered Like Foxes), Dr. John Egenes (cowboy poet, The Two Johns (E&D) and John E and Guntner), John Dodd (born on the 4th an honorary American; Whirling Eddys, Skin and Bone) Marvin Hubbard (poet and host of Oar Radio’s ‘Community or Chaos’), Dr. Hyram Ballard (Dr. T & Dangerous Women), Erin Morton (Slaughtered Like Foxes) and Dr. Kirk Hamilton and Dr. Tony Moore (a Pre-American; The Bluffs). With these particular individuals performing, there certainly will be great music, lots of laughs, and fun! So, there is a wide range of oral and musical genres that should cater to spoken word and musical lover’s palates. It will be a great night! God bless America ... we need it!
