Alice Gerrard & Beverly Smith


in the Drake House Studio Theater
at 171 Cedar Arts Center, 155 Cedar Street, Corning

Long-time friends and highly-respected old-time musicians, Alice Gerrard and Beverly Smith, have a history of making music together informally, but this is their first foray into working up a joint repertoire. They are enjoying putting together material from classic old-time duets, original songs, fiddle and banjo instrumentals, brushing up old guitar leads...you name it. They recently toured Spain, the UK and Europe, warming up for their Corning debut at Valley Folk Music. More info...

Enoch Kent


in the Drake House Studio Theater
at 171 Cedar Arts Center, 155 Cedar Street, Corning

Enoch Kent returns with a special program: "Women in Folk Song". Scotland born Enoch Kent, is a legendary interpreter of traditional music and songsmith. His first traditional Scottish band, The Reivers, formed the foundation of the Scottish folk music revival of the 1950's and 60's. 36 years after immigrating to Canada, at age 70, Enoch got rave reviews for his brand new recordings. Enoch's music is treasured by traditional music enthusiasts with a passion for story-songs, love & betrayal ballads, and gritty politics. While his songs are deeply rooted in the traditional Scottish style, much of his subject matter is Canadian, giving his music a unique cultural blend. The first concert set will be songs about women featured on Kent‟s recent CD entitled “Here‟s to the Women”. For the second set, the audience will become involved in choosing the topics of the songs to be sung. More info...
