Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Andrew & Casey Calhoun

  • Location: ISM Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown
  • Date: Saturday, March 15, 2014, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Performing at the Saturday, March 15, 2014, Hickory Ridge Concert Series will be Andrew & Casey Calhoun. The concert begins at 7:30 pm at Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown, IL.

Calhoun is a perpetual student of songcraft with deep respect for both tradition and innovation. In the thirty-odd years that he has been a songwriter and performer he has created an impressive collection of songs from which he draws in live performances. He will be joined onstage by his daughter, Casey performing traditional and Christmas music. I just performed at the Folk Alliance conference with Andrew and Casey and it was a moving experience. One I hope you can make it out for!

On stage he is disarmingly unpretentious, spontaneous, insightful and darkly witty, as he weaves a tapestry that includes not only his original songs, but Scottish ballads that he has translated from dialect. Be sure to ask him for his version of “Shine On Harvest Moon”, it’s stunning.
