Send your information and copy for the next CAC Arts News to     Editor and Publisher Paul Saunders at artsnews@lpbroadband.net 

  THANKS!

Editor's Note:

 

This may be a dangerous idea on my part. What if I made room for your editorial of the week or a "Letter to the Editor" suitable (short enough) to be included in the following newsletter? After all, this newsletter is called the Colorado Arts Connection and the premise is to help give voice to the arts councils, agencies and artists and individuals - networking as it were. I know that calendar of events is important to you, but I could add a Part 3 for editorial and opinions, and  stories and hope for the best. This is a private enterprise and arts advocacy is OK. However I reserve the right to not include letters that are not appropriate. No anonymous letters but your initials with community name OK. Send an e-mail to artsnews@lpbroadband.net.

FROM Lynn Skinner

 

I believe you all received my recent email announcement about an upcoming concert on February 9 at Jazz at Jack's. If not, it is a special event featuring the music of great women writers/performers as a sort of  pre-emptive valentine's strike....

 

One correction: For those of you interested in purchasing tickets online to the  "Siren Songs" Valentine's Day concert please do not call Jack's. You can order tickets directly by clicking on:

 

 

 

If you want to buy tickets directly through me, and for ALL OTHER INFORMATION, please email me at vocalynn@earthlink.net or call 303.239.6021.

Mack Bailey & Chris Nole

Friday, January 20 | 8 p.m.

Well known for performing with the late John Denver, singer Mack Bailey

and pianist Chris Nole come to Swallow Hill on Friday, January 20th. Tom

Paxton said of Mack, "In its power, clarity and shear beauty, Mack

Bailey's voice reminds me of no one more than my friend, the late John

Denver. I love to hear this man sing." In his home of Washington, D.C.,

Mack is known as "the area's most perfect tenor." Not only a solo

performer, Mack also currently performs with The Limelighters and The

Hard Travelers along with using his well-trained voice in productions of

Tribute to John Denver.

 

Chris Nole is no stranger to all sides of the music industry as a

performer and in the studio for arranging, mastering and pre-producing.

He has performed music for the television specials "The John Denver

Story," "John Denver The Wildlife Concert," "CMT All Access with Travis

Tritt," and "Let There Be A Voice" His recent CD release Little Rum

Boogie features Chris's vocals along with driving piano passages

throughout the album.

KUNC Welcomes

Celeste Krenz w/Bob Tyler

Saturday, January 21 | 8 p.m.

Celeste comes to grace Swallow HillÕs stage with her sweet vocals and

poetic storytelling lyrics. She will be performing songs from her

recently released 9th album Celeste Krenz: Acoustic. The writer of the

winning song for the 2003 Walnut Valley SongwriterÕs contest, Celeste

has taught singing and songwriting all over the country including at

Swallow Hill, the Lyons Folks Fest and the Kerrville Folk Festival.

Music Row writes, Ò[Celeste is] the purest folk voice IÕve heard in

years, and that little catch in her throat gives it just a touch of

hillbilly soul. I was so enchanted that I practically held my breath.Ó
