This Saturday Valley Stage Productions presents another unique performance at On the Rise Bakery in RIchmond.
Former lead singer of Joy Kills Sorrow Emma Beaton will join Nic Gareiss in an evening of crystal clear vocals, stunning harmonies and uncluttered accompaniment on bouzouki and claw hammer banjo. It is seldom that a young folk duo emerges with so focused a direction and critical regard. After their first show together, Emma and Nic's sound was lauded as "delicate and broken and perfectly sweet."
Emma’s 2008 solo release, "Pretty Fair Maid" was awarded a Canadian Folk Music Award, naming her the 2008 Young Performer of the Year. Her singing has been described as "gorgeous and clear," the music, "diverse and inventive".
Nic, a dancer, singer, and bouzouki-player from northern Michigan has danced and played across Europe and the states with The Chieftains, Tim O'Brien, Footworks, and Uncle Earl. He has studied and performed music and dance internationally, including a year in Irish Music Performance at the University of Limerick in Ireland, where he earned his Masters degree.
Their 7:30 performance still has tickets available (http://valleystage.net/concerts-festivals/poets-players/artists-2/emma-beaton-and-nic-gareiss.html) for $10. Contact Don Sheldon at 434-4563 for more information. There are a limited number of seats for this show.
