Acoustic masters concert at Woodsongs

Posted

HURLEYVILLE, NY — Woodsongs Coffeehouse will present an acoustic concert featuring bluegrass, Americana and more on Saturday, April 23 at 7 p.m. at the Sullivan County Museum, located at 265 Main St. The concert will feature award-winning musicians Van Manakas (van manakas.com) and Wayne Fugate (www.waynefugate.com) on fiddle, dobro, guitar and mandolin. A guitar workshop presented by Manakas will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Multi-instrumentalist Manakas is a critically acclaimed artist, recognized by the musical press as one of the most versatile and respected guitarists in the country. His Rounder Records release, “Love Songs,” exemplified his artistry and was enthusiastically received.

Master mandolinist Fugate is one of the New York area’s most versatile acoustic musicians. Making his musical home in the American roots styles of bluegrass, blues, jazz and old-time music, he can swing gracefully from these styles to any of his other musical loves in the worlds of classical, gypsy jazz and Brazilian choro music.

The evening will also feature a performance by the host band Little Sparrow (find them on Facebook).

Concert admission costs $8. The guitar workshop costs $20 and includes admission to the concert. To register for the guitar workshop call 845/671-9548.

This project is made possible in part with funds from the Decentralization Program for Sullivan County, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by Delaware Valley Arts Alliance. Visit www.sullivancountyhistory.org.
