Come hear our new songwriter group - OWL CREEK - read on...

The group has a wide range of musical backgrounds from delta blues to blue grass, folk to rock, country to jazz and have all recorded individually and in various combinations of musicians and in multiple settings. What they bring to the area is a new hybrid of music, not any of the above mentioned styles but something, well, different.

Sarah Goslee Reed, Alison Cline, Noah Shull, Biller Miller, Skip Trask, Mike Petee are the musicians and writers and they invite you to join them on the last Saturday of each month. There is no cost, although donations are accepted and they provide coffee, tea and goodies as well.

The group in various combinations have been casually going through their songs and performing for a few months now and finally decided they should actually call the gathering by a name shorter than all the musicians names, so after going through an amazing number of names that none agreed on, the name used by white settlers for this area, OWL CREEK, was recently chosen for this new musical congregation in Knox County.

Songfest # 2!! Bring a lawn chair and some bug spray...a blanket too!

This is the first of three concerts taking place this summer in the Children' Garden at the Knox County Career Center.  Bring a picnic supper, lawn chairs, blankets, the whole family and all your friends too!  Live music, the great outdoors, and a fun science activity provided by the Science Play-Space Initiative, otherwise known as SPI Spot How can you beat it?  I kick off the first show with the Firefly band; the July 21 concert will be Miss B. Haven and the August 18 concert will be Padula Oblongata.  Both groups are jazz, but very different configurations.  These concerts are supported by funding from the Ariel Foundation.

HURRAY!  Songfest Number One is upon us!

I will be doing a workshop on songwriting - here is the blurb:

What brings on a song? For that matter what causes one to write, paint, create? Most songs are written for an occasion or because of something we have experienced through our senses.  I will share a few of my songs and the inspiration behind them.  Bring your own words, poems, and songs to share and discuss for this interactive workshop.

For information email Sharon Mooney at sfmooney@parakrisis.com

The Last Saturday Group has a name: OWL CREEK

The group has a wide range of musical backgrounds from delta blues to blue grass, folk to rock, country to jazz and have all recorded individually and in various combinations of musicians and in multiple settings. What they bring to the area is a new hybrid of music, not any of the above mentioned styles but something, well, different.

Sarah Goslee Reed, Alison Cline, Noah Shull, Biller Miller, Skip Trask, Mike Petee are the musicians and writers and they invite you to join them on the last Saturday of each month. There is no cost, although donations are accepted and they provide coffee, tea and goodies as well.

The group in various combinations have been casually going through their songs and performing for a few months now and finally decided they should actually call the gathering by a name shorter than all the musicians names, so after going through an amazing number of names that none agreed on, the name used by white settlers for this area, OWL CREEK, was recently chosen for this new musical congregation in Knox County.
