Richard Evers will be July 12 Song & Story Swap guest

Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the July Pioneer Valley Folklore Society SONG & STORY SWAP.

Richard EversFriday, July 12, 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Black Sheep Café, 79 Main St., Amherst, Mass.  

Appearing as guest will be folk, roots and blues singer, Richard Evers. 

A lover of roots music, Richard Evers was born and raised in Texas, and has lived in New York City, Northern California, the South, New Orleans and now Brattleboro, Vermont, and his songs evoke these places. He also writes and performs original songs and parodies which reveal a personal flourish and quirky sense of humor.

Substituting this month for vacationing regular host, Paul Kaplan, will be Elizabeth Farnsworth, a captivating chanteuse from Royalston, Mass.

The Song & Story Swap is an event where people of all ages gather to share stories and songs that may be traditional, newly written, or of personal experiences. You can tell, sing, or lead everyone in singing, play an instrument or request a song or story.  Listeners are welcome, too.  Admission is free, with donations accepted.

The warm-up theme this month is Roots. Roots

Please note that there will be no Song & Story Swap in August as we take our summer break.  Otherwise, the PVFS Song & Story Swap happens the 2ND FRIDAY of every month.  For information contact Paul Kaplan, (413)-253-9484 or Jeff Lee, (413)-256-0433 or visit http://www.filbert.com/pvfs.
