SUMMARY:The Red Dirt Girls
DESCRIPTION:Born at the Sherman Song Swap nearly 20 years ago\, The Red Dirt Girls (RDG) are all about harmonies. Inspired by the classic trio work of Emmy Lou Harris\, Linda Ronstadt\, and Dolly Parton\, as well as Red Molly and the Wailin’ Jennys\, these neighbors got together for the sheer joy of singing. Susy Marker and Missy Alexander trade off on the lead vocals and high harmonies. They are the songwriters of the group\, crafting lyrics that are sometimes poignant\, sometimes funny\, and often both. Pat Walker is the chief arranger\, with a perfect ear\, a passion for the unexpected\, and a smoky bass line. Best described as Americana (a blend of country & folk)\, their repertoire is an eclectic mix of original music and unexpected covers. Whether singing around the kitchen table or on local stages\, this trio of friends aspires to share the magic that a perfect chord creates.

SUMMARY:Michael Ford: Contemporary Piano
DESCRIPTION:Michael Ford’s compositional and improvisational style draws on many influences\, but it is rooted in a classical music aesthetic that stems from a life dedicated to the piano. \n Ford describe his music as having hints of impressionism\, progressive rock\, jazz and Americana. He loves a good melody and enjoys rhythmic explorations. His music ranges from sadness to jubilant.  \nMusic critics and fellow musicians have said this about his music and piano works\,  \n \n“His music drifts from the darkness of intimate dream-like visions quickly into the bright sunlight of vivacious perpetual motion works.” \n“Michael Ford has this rare ability to transport listeners to deep emotional places with his music.  It is rich with color and movement\, and we travel alongside every note.”  \n“His music is very uplifting\, inspiring and emotional.”
