Our most requested format.
Three of Florida's best songwriters & singers share the stage. Larry always delivers the goods, thats why our audience has asked to have him back for the fourth year in a row! Along with him we are lucky to have singer-songwriters Ellen Bukstel and David Russell Extraordinary talent times 3 = a fantastic evening. Don't miss it! Larry Mangum: Singer / Songwriter LARRY MANGUM has logged nearly 3000 performances over the last 4 decades as a folk, rock, country and Americana artist. It's no wonder you have asked him to return to the White Springs Folk Club. A legend at the Florida Folk Festival, Larry always brings amazingly talented performers to his Songwriters Circle Performances. This year the circle will amaze you.
Ellen Bukstel: What can I say about this amazing talent? Others have said it much better so I will share their comments, but suffice it to say that we are indeed fortunate to have her perform in the little town of White Springs.
"Ellen is an amazing artist and spirit"...MICHAEL BOLTON, two time Grammy award winner.
" Lots of good songcraft here"...PETER YARROW, of Peter Paul & Mary
2010 New Zealand PEACE SONG Competition, INTERNATIONAL WINNER- 2009 John Lennon Song writing Competition, FINALIST / FOLK CATEGORY
David Russell: "A guitarist’s guitarist who plays mandolin and dobro as well. With a wide-ranging clear voice, he performs his songs and those of his fellow writers with an energy and sensitivity that captivates… a broad brush of styles from bluegrass and traditional music, Delta blues and Travis-picked country to contemporary acoustic… the man’s a natural”
“When Russell performs, his manner counterpoints the sometimes serious nature of his songs… he moves smoothly from blues to ballads, flat-picking to jazz… throwing out one-liners and then ducking an imaginary beer bottle… a tasteful troubadour who delivers a full course show” -The Florida Alligator (Gainesville, FL) Read more: http://www.myspace.com/daviddrewrussell#ixzz0w2R3Qeqy RESERVATIONS FOR THE PERFORMANCES ARE RECOMMENDED
Saturday, Oct. 16- Jamie DeFrates and Susan Brown… Back by Popular Demand Jamie is an award-winning songwriter as well as an incredible guitar picker. Together, Susan and Jamie create truly beautiful harmonies while performing an eclectic blend of original folk, bluesy and thought provoking. This is original music with strong vocals and masterful guitar playing.
Saturday, Nov. 20 - Scott and Michelle Dalziel... Florida’s audiences have recently discovered the fresh and soulful sounds of Scott and Michelle's voices, combined with their high energy performance, memorable and meaningful songwriting, and instrumental fitness. Said to have more sound than two people should be allowed, acoustic Rock or Folk genres could very well hold them but not completely. They dip down into R&B, Jazz, roots, and Blues too. Accepted with open arms by the Florida music community for good reason!
Saturday, Jan. 15 - Rod MacDonald...Internationally Acclaimed Folksinger...This singer- songwriter tours extensively in America, Europe and Great Britain. His travels and experiences are reflected in his words and music in a wonderful, thoughtful, sometimes provocative and always captivating style that we have never tired of though we have attended many of his performances over the past twenty years. A must see performance by a true folk artist!
Saturday, Feb. 19 – CASTLEBAY… Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee… A Celtic Delight Castlebay has extensively toured the Eastern U.S., Ireland, England and Scotland. Their concerts feature poignant ballads sung in Lane's ethereal soprano and Gosbee's rich baritone interspersed with joyous dance tunes played on Celtic harp, guitar, fiddle and tin whistle. Come and enter their magical worlds of storytelling, song, and harp, Maine coast and Celtic tunes, and salty humor!
Saturday, Mar. 19 – Magda Hiller – A true songwriter-storyteller who ignites the fuse between lyrical intelligence and crackerjack fingerstyle and blues influenced guitar playing, and dynamic vocals. She has a lot of bottled up energy that suddenly explodes in a line or a simple syllable within the song, and it just knocks you right back! Because she is a Florida favorite, a crowd follows Magda wherever she goes, so be prepared to have a really good time at this Folk Club’s season closing performance. She's just a bundle of joy to listen to!
