The Spring Benefit Concert celebrates the rich musical heritage shared by members of the San Francisco Folk Music Club, a non-profit organization of singers, instrumentalists, performers, songwriters, dancers, and listeners, with membership open to all. The concert, along a silent auction in the lobby, raises funds to support local musicians to attend Camp New Harmony, the club’s winter gathering held annually over New Year’s. The 2017 afternoon program showcases a wide range of acoustic music roughly defined as “folk”:
Leftover Dreams: inspiring & romantic vocal harmonies (Patrice Haan and Tony Marcus) Corwin Zekley: smokin' fiddle tunes and so much more Holly Tannen: witty original songs Richard Adrianowicz & Peter Kasin: rousing sea shanties The Splinter Group: harmonies simmered into delicate and savory blends (Fredi Bloom, Gail Caulfield, Peter Tracy) Manantial: songs of freedom & social justice in 4-part harmony (Karen Chester, Nancy Gendel, Carol Pierson, Jan Thyer)
The vocal harmonies and sparse but memorable accompaniment have drawn praise from such as Richard Hadlock, author of Jazz Masters of the 20s and host of the radio show The Annals of Jazz, who says " Singers Patrice Haan and Tony Marcus (also an ace guitarist) do something unusual: they treat often neglected popular songs with respect, restraint and unerring good taste ".
Holly spent five years in England, studying traditional songs and singing around the folk clubs. On her return, she entered the Folklore program at UC Berkeley and wrote her master’s thesis on traditional ballads sung by Scotland’s Traveling People.
Holly has released four CDs, Between the Worlds, Rime of the Ancient Matriarch, The Flower of Australia, and Crazy Laughter. Her best-loved songs include Brownies for Breakfast, Bonobo Wannabee, Victim of Them, and The Last Hippie.
When Holly sings, the spirits of the past come alive. - Amy McCurdy, Los Angeles Times
Last summer they toured Ireland where their harmonies were welcomed in pubs and music sessions from Dublin to Dingle. Their 2nd CD, Playing on the Patio, was released last July.
They are pleased to have fiddler John Roy Zat join them today.
Raised in Chicago, Illinois, he has a keen interest in songs of the Great Lakes sailors. Richard also plays the guitar, tin whistle and fiddle.
