Fri Dec 14 12:07:24 EST 2007

First In Families of North Carolina presents: Peter Lang in concert, Jan. 
5th at the Broad Street Café in Durham at 8pm. Lang's music falls into the 
American Primitive category with its traditional folk and Blues roots and is 
reminiscent of Leo Kottke as well as his former teacher John Fahey. Opening 
acts for the concert will be Peter Holsapple and Sweet By and By.

An expressive guitar virtuoso and Grammy nominee, Lang has returned to the 
music scene after a twenty year hiatus. During this time he raised a 
daughter with developmental challenges, ran an animation studio, and 
produced films and commercials. A native Minnesotan, Lang currently tours 
both coasts and Europe, and his two recent albums have received critical 
acclaim.

This performance will benefit First In Families of NC. FIFNC will use the 
proceeds to assist families and individuals with disabilities to build 
stronger connections within their communities. FIFNC works to eliminate 
isolation and loneliness for people with disabilities, and helps family

Street Café. Space for the Masters workshop is limited.
