House Concert, 8/3/16
Cathy Barton & Dave Para
House Concert on Wednesday, 8/3/16
7:30 to 10 p.m.

Albuquerque, NM
NM FolkMADS is proud to co-sponsor a house concert featuring Cathy Barton and Dave Para, and the string band Snor T Horse, all from Missouri. Cathy (banjo and hammer dulcimer) and Dave (guitar) have played old and new time folk music for 40 years and are passing through Albuquerque on their way to the Red River Dulcimer Festival (www.nmdulcfest.com/) where they will be the featured performers. Cathy & Dave are great instrumentalists and fabulous singers as well as wonderful raconteurs. They were last here for the 2015 NM Folk Festival and were among the festival favorites.
Snor T Horse is one of those funny-while-late-night-driving names for a band comprised of Mike Fraser (mandolin & fiddle) and Tenley Hansen (guitar & piano) as well as Cathy and Dave. Together they will provide an evening of old and new fiddle tunes and songs from a diverse repertoire seldom heard in NM.
Reservations aren’t required but seating is limited so it’d be a good idea to call & reserve a seat.

BalFolk 2016! July 29 – 31
BalFolk 2016! is a new weekend event that will focus on the dance and music of the European BalFolk scene. This year we are starting off with music and dance from central France. The event is sponsored by TTU’s Vernacular Music Center and the Roots Music Institute.
It takes place between Friday evening July 29th and midday on Sunday the 31st. Classes will run all day Saturday with a big BalFolk dance that evening, with classes resuming for a half day on Sunday. Since Lubbock is only 5 hours from Albuquerque the event is easily accessible. Lodging is available in numerous area hotels.
