Pompanuck Farm Hosts John Kirk and Trish Miller

On Saturday, April 22 at 6:30pm, Pompanuck Farm will present an evening of Mountain Music with John Kirk and Trish Miller. Lively fiddle tunes together with fancy footwork and folksongs are featured in a concert from John Kirk & Trish Miller. Highlights of their program include John's fiddlin' and Trish's dynamic clog dancing.

Selections are traditional folksongs & fiddle tunes, originals, historical, sentimental & funny pieces. Some tunes are toe-tappin' barn-burners!

      Kirk and Miller are a married couple from the foothills of the
Adirondacks. They work together full time, playing music and singing in concerts, festivals, schools, and both call dances. John is lead singer and a versatile instrumentalist on mandolin, guitar & banjo as well as fiddle. Trish plays banjo and guitar.

Sing Out magazine said, "John Kirk is a fine player on all his instruments and he sings quite well. With such a widely varied repertoire, there's really something here for everyone. These folks
are worth seeking out." The duet has the drive of an old-time stringband, the depth of moving ballads and show-stopping clog dances to boot!

      Since 1988, they have toured throughout the U.S. and abroad, from a school down in the Grand Canyon to Barbados, from the local Dance Flurry Festival to a concert at the Academy of Culture in St. Petersburg, Russia.

They are in demand as arts-in-education specialists, participating in
several residence programs at schools and colleges throughout the United States. They have been featured on two WMHT-Public TV specials; "Songs from the Heart of the Adirondacks" and "Christmas in the Adirondacks". Together they have a recording available entitled, Quicksteppin'.

This event is part of the Concerts With Bite series to benefit Pompanuck Farm Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. There will be an authentic "southern cookin" meal included. Suggested donation is $25.00
