CSUC is thrilled to have Pint of Blarney back to open the series, and attendees will enjoy Celtic and maritime songs that will have them tapping their toes. Staying with the Celtic theme on February 28, two Celtic harpists, Debra Northey and Tanah Haney join forces in what will be a stunning concert.

On March 6 the series welcomes for the first time Front Porch Harmony, which will perform four-part harmony bluegrass. The group features Dave Cotter and Helen Mabee on guitar, Jan Rutley playing mandolin and guitar, Gail McKinley on banjo and Linda Gamble on bass. Talented pianist and gifted composer, Hunter Peeters returns on March 13, playing many of his own arrangements and compositions.

The series concludes on March 20 with The Maple Beats, featuring Terri Crawford, Rick Johnson and Randy Read performing Beatles music. Each with an extensive background as professional entertainers they started The Maple Beats after playing a series of shows to benefit Flato Academy Theatre here in Lindsay.

Concerts are free, but donations are gratefully appreciated to help offset costs. Audience members are invited to bring their lunch and stay for a social time in the gymnasium following the performances. Tea and coffee is provided. Come enjoy some wonderful music!
