Cramer will perform at Dahmen Barn

Hank Cramer, one of the best-loved folksingers in the Pacific Northwest, will perform at Dahmen Barn in Uniontown Saturday, Dec. 18, at 7:30 p.m. Hank has performed full-time the last 10 years on national tours.

He performs a wide repertoire of traditional music from the American and Canadian frontiers, including the songs of cowboys, miners, soldiers, railroad men, sailors and drifters. He has recorded 19 CDs, three music videos and two movie sound-tracks

Admission will be $10 at the door.
