Lone Raven to close Staycation series

0

VERSAILLES — Towne & Country Players has announced that its Staycation series will conclude, Friday, July 28, with a concert featuring Lone Raven at 7 p.m. in the Fountain Square in downtown Versailles.

Rapidly becoming one of the top bands in the Midwest, Lone Raven performs an eclectic blend of traditional music from the Celtic lands and various areas of the world, as well as their own original compositions. With more than 20 instruments on stage, the band soars through everything from fiery Irish reels to Gypsy fiddle tunes to haunting airs. Their instrumentals are fueled by the award-winning guitar playing of Neil Jacobs, the twin fiddles of Elizabeth Blickenstaff and Kara Markley, while being driven by an explosive rhythm section of Craig Markley and Sid Omasta. In addition, Kara’s vocals are featured throughout each performance, with Blickenstaff and Craig adding the perfect harmony blend.

The Caliban Press reviews them as “A musical journey that is, at the same time, an American creation and a child of the entire globe.”

The concert is free. If the weather is rainy, the performance will be in the St. Denis Church.
