An evening of folk music

Published 4:36 pm Monday, October 27, 2014

Tom Rawson and Carl Allen,  both well-known to Orcas audiences separately,  are now getting together for a music-filled evening of humor, history and harmonies. They will be performing Saturday, Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m., at the Orcas Grange Hall.

Tom, who now calls Orcas Island home, is a long-time folk troubadour, who performs with guitar and banjo in the style of Pete Seeger.  You’ll be singing along to his songs of humor, peace and inspiration.

Tom will be joined on his set by Ellen van der Hoeven, songwriter, vocalist, and penny whistler from Vancouver, British Columbia.

Carl Allen, who has been performing folk music since 1959, has visited Orcas many times, as half of The Wanderers, and in his Woody Guthrie persona.  Suggested admission is $15. For more information at 317-7498.
