[Triangle Folk] Upcoming Free Folk music events

[TFMS Concert Announcement List]

Hello Folks,

I  wanted to let everyone know about some upcoming free folk musical events.  

On Thursday October 25,  the October 25 Folk Heritage Awards Ceremony to be held at the Fletcher Opera Theater at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh.   More details below.

On Sunday October 28, High Strung Music and the Broad Street Café in Durham will be hosting something that they are calling "Boo-kulele Day".   I don't have many details on this event, but it will involve many small stringed instruments and it should be a lot of fun.  For more information, call the nice people at Broad Street Café (919-416-9707).

Finally, on November 13 at 8:00 pm at the Mary Lou Williams Center at Duke University,  Charlie King will be singing with Colleen Kattau.  Charlie gave a great concert for TFMS a few years back.  This should be another good one.  Information about Charlie King can be found at his website: www.charlieking.org.  If you have local questions about the event you can write Diane Nelson at: dmnelson at duke.edu.
	

Here's more information about the Folk Heritage awards:
Finest Folk Artists Honored in Free Night of NC Culture
Frank Stasio, host of the popular radio show, The State of Things, will emcee an exciting and free evening packed with North Carolina culture including performances by bluegrass pioneer George Shuffler, Joe Thompson, African American string band musician, and legendary storyteller Orville Hicks on Thursday Oct. 25.
The event also features the works of sixth-generation weaver, Mike Harman; nationally-known Haliwa-Saponi potter, Senora Lynch; and preservers of the coastal fishing tradition, Walter and Ray Davenport.
Presented by the North Carolina Arts Council to honor the state's most eminent folk artists, the event recognizes recipients of the North Carolina Heritage Award. Since 1989, the award has deepened awareness of the stories, music and artistry that comprise our rich and diverse cultural and folklife traditions.
Thompson received the National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment last month in Washington, D.C. The late Appalachian musician, Mary Jane Queen, was also honored during the ceremony.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet the artists, take photographs and register for door prizes, including a trio of tourism guidebooks featuring the new Literary Trails of the North Carolina Mountains during a reception, which follows the event.
The free event is scheduled at the Fletcher Opera Theater at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh at 7:30 p.m. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis, so plan to arrive early.
