Membership Reception & Concert Featuring: The Bogue Sounds
The Down East FolkArts Society invites supporters and music lovers to join them for a Sunday afternoon reception and concert to kick off the Society’s 2008-2009 concert season. The reception will feature light refreshments, membership information, and our schedule of events for 2008-2009. The concert will showcase The Bogue Sounds, a talented group of local multi-instrumentalists who bring to the stage a wide range of instruments including guitars, mandolins, banjo, bass, fiddle, flute, whistles, and hand drums. Their lively performances include an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary music of the British Isles, Americana, Swing, and innovative originals. The event will wrap up at 4:15 pm with a raffle featuring some great prizes including: season tickets (for both New Bern and Beaufort venues), T-shirts, CD’s, and gift certificates for meals and massages.

LIGHTNIN' WELLS
Eastern NC native, Mike “Lightnin’” Wells is a lifelong student and devotee of the Carolina Piedmont blues traditions as well as vintage tunes of depression era America. After 30+ years in the music business Lightnin’ is a popular draw at festivals, concert venues and at teaching camps around the country. His varied selection of material, amiable and unaffected vocal style, and impressive skill on a number of instruments (acoustic guitar, resonator, banjo, ukulele and harmonica ) are just hard to beat!

SMALL POTATOES
Since hitting the road sixteen years ago, Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso, the Illinois-based duo known as Small Potatoes, has earned the reputation as a “favorite act” at many coffee houses, clubs, and festivals across the U.S. They are not only known for their eclectic style (from cowboy to Celtic) and Midwestern humor (some say Keilloresque!) but for their exquisite songwriting abilities as well. Both sing, play guitars and an array of instruments…and they even occasionally yodel!
