West Chester Folk is once again rolling with a house concert by Ed Trickett at the home of Dan Schatz and Geeta Shivde in West Chester, PA. The concert will be at 8 pm on Saturday, April 4, with a suggested donation of $15.

We hope this will be the first of many house concerts at our home - we have a wonderful space in our new family room (though it is down a flight of stairs), and we hope to grow an audience for traditional music in Philadelphia's Western suburbs. We're hopeful that Ed will get us off to a strong start.

Ed needs no introduction to most of us on the Mudcat, but we did find a wonderful quote from the All Music Guide:

"Ed Trickett looks for the hidden truths in songs, and sings them to us in a manner that gives us a new meaning to old songs. The songs he has recorded alone, with Anne Mayo Muir and Gordon Bok, and with other artists are some of the most beautiful ever recorded." ~ Don Stevens

The suggested donation is $15, and you can get more information - including contact numbers for directions - at the West Chester Folk website.

This will be a rare opportunity for an intimate evening with one of the best folksingers out there!

Ed does a wonderful House Concert. We had him here in Maine a while back, hammered dulcimer and all. Make sure he sings Clayton Boone - one of my favorites.

Too far for me plus I will have the Shivers at my place the night before.

Enjoy!

I can't say enough good stuff about Ed Trickett. His taste in songs is right up my alley, and I've learned more songs from him than from anyone else.

And the next day (Sunday, April 5) Ed Trickett will be at the Glen Echo Town Hall in Glen Echo, Maryland, at 7:30 pm, sponsored by the Folklore Society of Greater Washington. (More details at fsgw.org.)

Among other things, Ed has appeared on more Folk Legacy recordings than anyone else. I'm really looking forward to this one!

I bought Ed's "The Telling Takes Me Home" album earlier this year and it's rapidly becoming one of my favourite folk albums. It also introduced me to Utah Phillips (there are two Utah covers on it.) Still can't listen to "Finger Ring" without an involuntary snigger though.

Does he ever play outside the US?

Ed's touring schedule is somewhat limited by his academic schedule - he's a psychology professor in Chicago. That's one reason I'm so pleased we'll be able to have him here.

We need more Philly area Mudcatters! I hope folks can come to this. West Chester is just 20 minutes down 202 from the PA Turnpike.

Not to be missed, folks. Aside from being one of the top interpreters of songs in this country, Ed has a spectacular voice, and is a delightful performer. Helluva fine man, too. I will be there in spirit. Fill that room up. You won't regret it, in fact you will be back here thanking me for urging you to go.

All the best,

Mick

Thanks, Mick. Ed will be here this coming Saturday night - I hope some Mudcatters can make it!
