February in Pasadena

[kayshapero]

More from the Pasadena Folk Music Society (This isn't the whole of the newsletter - I recommend subscribing if you want to hear about other stuff going on in the area).

============================================================================================================

We'll soon slip into February, and the Folk Music Society has two shows in this short month. We start with Honey Whiskey Trio, three young women who have been turning heads with their harmonies, and dramatic body percussion and movements, on Saturday, February 2, at 8:00 PM in Beckman Institute Auditorium.

Courtney, Ann Louise, and Christina develop and arrange their own stirring harmonies and body percussion (hand clappin', finger snappin', leg slappin', and foot stompin') with synchronized movements. On some songs, they play guitar, mandolin, banjo, and shruti box (come find out what that is!). They create, arrange, and explore music from the front porches, music halls, and hymn books of early America, sharing it with adults, students, and life-long music lovers across the United States. Lisa Forkish, of the A Cappella Association wrote, "They always leave you sitting at the edge of your seat, waiting with bated breath for each new beautifully executed phrase." Hear them sing their namesake song, Sweet Honey Whiskey and hear a good sampling of what they do here. These women give their all with their singing, and they just might steal your heart in the process!

 

Tickets for this show are $20 for adults, and $5 for children and Caltech students. You can purchase tickets at the Caltech Ticket Office, 1200 E. California Blvd (southeast corner of Wilson Avenue and California Blvd) between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. You can buy tickets in person without a service charge, or by phone with a service charge at (626) 395-4652. Outside of visiting the Ticket Office, this is the best deal if you want to buy them in advance, because a single service charge applies to all tickets purchased in the transaction, including for multiple shows. You can also buy them online (a service charge per ticket and a per-order charge are applied) here until the end of Thursday, January 31. And you can buy them at the door for cash or check (no credit cards at the door.)
