Description

Local favorites the Musers and Evie Ladin Band join forces for an energetic double-bill show that will lift your spirits and get your toes tapping! Don’t miss this great show with two of our finest Bay Area bands. Tickets are $30 GA, $25 for OCA members. Fine refreshments available, art gallery open during intermission. OCA is wheelchair accessible. Sonoma County folk trio The Musers is made up of Megan McLaughlin, Anita Bear Sandwina, and Tom Kuhn. Anita and Megan, both award-winning songwriters, met behind the microphone singing backups at a Kieth Greeninger show and discovered their sister-like harmony blend. Tom and Anita met at a Joe Craven show and the rest is history. Their “Free Range Folk” includes Irish, Appalachian, Roots, Funk, Swing, Gospel, and Americana; each musical dish is served with dancing feet, verve, and heart. Tenacious, innovative string musicians, the Evie Ladin Band – Evie Ladin, Keith Terry and Erik Pearson – throw down captivating, truly entertaining live shows. Grounded in Appalachian old-time repertoire, seasoned in African-diaspora roots, writing from life in modern cities, blurring the lines between music and dance, the polyrhythmic heat of Evie’s clawhammer banjo, resonant voice, real stories and rhythmic dance have been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Their performance experience is a stand-out.  Following their fourth release of adventurous originals Caught On A Wire and Evie’s first totally trad fiddle/banjo duets Riding the Rooster – the band released an EP of funky covers Playing our Hand.  “A truly original sound in new old-time Americana,” says fRoots, while Pop Matters says “Ladin possesses a keen songwriting sense and a stable of strong musicians to back her up.“
