Black Hawk Folk Society Concert

Black Hawk Folk Society invites you to enjoy an afternoon with Patty Stevenson and Craig Siemsen Sunday, August 15 in beautiful lakeside Mt. Morris Town Park.  Their concert begins at 2 p.m., with general admission tickets being sold at the gate.
 
This singer-songwriter folk duo is acclaimed for their impeccable musicianship, gorgeous harmonies, and gentle stage humor. Patty Stevenson, both a classically trained pianist and finger style guitarist, has mastered writing portrait songs of people she knows or has known.  Craig Siemsen brings to the stage both excellent guitar-picking and a voice that combines honey and grit. His songwriting speaks to the human condition with poetry and humor.  “A sound that is full-on spark and joy,” is how one critic described the combination these two artists create. 
 
Patty and Craig met in the mid-1980’s at a folk festival, both with thriving solo careers.  Eventually they married, but maintained their solo careers until music-loving and wise friends suggested they try performing as a duo.  Folk music lovers everywhere are glad! Their recordings have been listed as DJ favorites and have received international airplay. Their CD, “Paint Me a Picture,” topped folk charts.   To learn more about Patty and Craig, or to sample their music, please visit https://pattycraig.com.
