The Friends of the Plainfield Opera House in collaboration with the Plainfield Recreation Committee are pleased to announce the final concert in their summer music series at the Plainfield Rec Field. Admission is by donation. Bring your own chairs and blankets.
Wrapping up the series will be the Sky Blue Boys and Cookie on Sunday, August 29 at 5pm. Banjo Dan and Willy Lindner – known throughout the Northeast as The Sky Blue Boys – teamed up with dynamic and entertaining musician Carrie Cook. She adds a new instrument (the upright bass), new styles (the blues, some funky jug band music, a hint of jazz), and even a new gender to "the Boys'" performances. Dan and Willy have built up a large repertoire of wonderful old ballads, parlor songs, heart songs, and sacred numbers that still, in the 21st century, tell timeless truths. Both of them songwriters, the Sky Blue Boys also deliver their own material and expand on the traditional instrumentation to incorporate a rich array of acoustic sounds. Their shows are packed with variety, energy, and fun. The weather looks good. Hope to see you there!
