Steve Hickman & John Devine - June 22, 2007 - 7:30 pm

Admission: Free, donations welcome

Location: Festival Barn

Steve Hickman and John Devine are well-known performers from King George, Virginia and Berkely Springs, West Virginia respectively who have served as staff musicians for a number of Folk School music and dance programs over the years.

Steve Hickman has toured with numerous bands singing and playing fiddle and harmonica for more than twenty years. He is especially well-known for his mastery of the art of “hambone” or body percussion.

John Devine specializes in contemporary folk songs as well as standards from the 1930’s and 1940’s.

Together, Hickman and Devine play a wide variety of country, folk, bluegrass, Irish, swing and traditional old time music.

The concert will be in the festival barn. Those attending are urged to park near Keith House or the dining hall and to walk to the barn where there will be only a limited number of handicapped parking spaces available.

In the barn, there is hay bale seating, so audience members may wish to bring a lawn chair for comfort.

In celebration of this passage, the handbell choir is touring in North Carolina and Tennessee on their way to a handbell festival in Chattanooga.

Brasstown Ringers and Mountain Area Performing Arts Association are local sponsors of the event.

The concert will begin at 7:30 pm Thursday, June 21, 2007, at St. William Catholic Church on Andrews Road in Murphy.
