An Evening with Banjo Player Evie Ladin

Ladin’s voice is a revelation. Clear, strong, delicate and emotive all at the same time…her exemplary examples of adult love songs deal with complicated subject matter, yet never lose their swing or get bogged down by maudlin sentimentality. In fact, the music is gorgeous. —NO DEPRESSION Evie Ladin is a natural entertainer with a gift for infusing folk practices with contemporary verve. —SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Join us for this rare opportunity to spend an evening with Evie Ladin. Clawhammer banjo, great singing, percussive dancer--Evie offers it all with warmly funny vibe. Come at 6:30 pm for a potluck before, or at 7:30 pm for the concert only. *More about Evie* Banjo player, singer, songwriter, percussive-dancer, choreographer and square-dance caller, Evie grew up steeped in traditional folk music/dance, and brings a contemporary vision to her compositions and choreography.&nbsp;Evie's performances, recordings and teaching reconnect Appalachian music/dance with other African-Diaspora traditions, and have been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Lincoln Center, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to Celtic Connections, Brazil to Bali. She has taken home ribbons in folk song and banjo from Mt Airy, NC Fiddlers Convention, and Neo-Trad Band from the Appalachian Stringband Festival, Clifftop, WV. Raised on the East Coast, based in Oakland, CA, Evie tours with Keith Terry and the Evie Ladin Band; and has produced 8 CDs of original and traditional music, and two clogging instructional DVDs. In the percussive dance world, she directs the moving choir MoToR/dance, is co-founder of the International Body Music Festival, and is an ace freestyle flatfooter. In the trad world, Evie teaches banjo and harmony singing at the infamous Freight &amp; Salvage, online at Peghead Nation and numerous camps. In the songwriter world, she just writes great songs. A truly entertaining performer, Evie enjoys facilitating arts learning in diverse communities. See more at: <a href="http://www.evieladin.com">www.evieladin.com</a>
