Woody Holler and his Orchestra : Western Swing |
Friday, Oct. 1, 8 p.m. |
|
Woody Holler grew up listening to the songs of the Cowboy. Later he studied classical music and fell in love with jazz. For Woody, Western Swing connects these various styles of music. As a trained opera singer, Woody brings his wonderful tenor voice and attention to detail to every performance. His repertoire features finger-snapping swing beats, slow love songs, and "extreme" yodeling.

The Bowties : Roots meets Classical |
FRIDAY, April 15, 8 p.m. |
|
The violin and the piano. The fiddle and the guitar. Add a line of witty repartee and you have The Bowties, a group that explores the connections between these two seemingly different musical styles. Between the Duo Concertante's ravishing renditions of the classics, and Gordon Stobbe's toe-tapping Metis fiddle tunes, maritime airs and his own heartwarming compositions, you've got a little musical magic.
