Audrey Perkins, Mark Weiss, Tim Hardin and Cliff and Chere Pereira

in a Concert to support the UUFC Democracy Action Team

Come enjoy the music of this quintet offering a concert to warm the heart, give you courage, and refresh the humor button with a wide variety of music—tunes by the likes of Stephen Foster, John Lennon, Woody Guthrie, The Youngbloods, Peter Meyer, Emmy Lou Harris and others, along with a few seriously funny zingers.

Our band is a loose, rough-cut gem that fosters and celebrates community (and keeps each other sane in these times!), reminding us of the power of coming together in song!

The Democracy Action Team at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Corvallis volunteer hours and hours of their time to hand write thousands of letters to unregistered and low-propensity voters encouraging them to participate in our democracy. Supporting this effort is a way you can participate and help by offering funds to purchase stamps and other supplies.

Music is love.  Treat your heart

We do this together.

Rakish

In a performance that toes the line between concert music and session music, Boston-based Rakish explores tunes and songs from Irish and American folk traditions in a way that reflects their shared interest in and love for old traditional tunes and chamber music. Maura Shawn Scanlin, a two-time U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and a winner of the Glenfiddich Fiddle Competition, wields the technical range of a classical violinist and the deep sensitivity of a traditional musician. Guitarist Conor Hearn, a native to the Irish music communities of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, performs with several traditional music bands. Rakish has taken the Celtic music scene by storm with performances at festivals across North America. This concert, co-presented by the Corvallis Folklore Society and PRAx, is a benefit for the Corvallis Celtic Festival, July 25-28.

“Naturally nimble and stylistically well-matched, with a genuinely infectious sense of delight, heart, and jubilation.”             —STRINGS MAGAZINE
