Bands to perform at Dahmen Barn

UNIONTOWN - Two bands will be performing at Dahmen Barn.

The Cherry Sisters Revival will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, and Birds of Play will perform at 7p.m. Monday, Aug. 22.

Doors for both shows open at 6 p.m.

Cherry Sisters Revival will perform a variety of tunes from Janice Joplin to a little "Hee Haw."

The show includes fun music, sing-a-longs and audience participation.

Band members include vocalist and banjo player Tracie Brelsford, guitar and ukulele player Connie Steiger, and lead guitarist Gary Scheer.

Birds of Play features multi-instrumentalists performing blues, bluegrass, folk and funk, blended with humor.

Birds of Play's original music is filled with tales of love lost and found, ballads of wild places and the idea being happy for no reason at all is reason enough.

The band is influenced by the Wood Brothers, Gregory Alan Isakov, Mandolin Orange, among others.

Band members include mandolin player and vocalist Alex Paul, a Southern Colorado based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a playful, insightful approach to music and composition.

An Idaho native, Eric Shedd plays base, mandolin and guitar, and sings. He graduated from University of Idaho School of Music as a percussion and guitar major.

Other band members include Anneke Dean on the violin and vocals; and Jack Tolan on the guitar, violin and vocals.

Dahmen Barn is at 419 N. Parkway. Admission is charged.
