Ron Warren!

Ron Warren!

Our special guest presenter for June 28th at Timber Flute Festival will be Ron Warren and vocalist Janice Torres! Let me explain…

I reviewed the newest album (Morning Star, Evening Star) from Ron Warren in a much earlier post on this blog as being one of the most listened to in my CD collection. Percussion and flute playing together make it a standout and one that leaves a memory with your toes still tapping or lips still humming. I know that I am always on the back porch trying to figure out how to make a particular sound I hear on one of Ron Warren’s albums. The original album review is here

Please do not take my word for it – visit Ron’s web site and see what is going on! Ron is a NAMMY nominee in 2007 for Flutist of the Year, Best Traditional Recording and Songwriter of the Year. www.ronwarrenmusic.com

In the previous post you saw that the WV NAF Circle originally invited Stuart Hill, another talented player, to present at the Timber Flute Festival on June 28th and Stuart has had scheduling difficulties and now cannot make it. Ron Warren has offered to present and this provides a wonderful opportunity for us to host such an accomplished guest.

So now I am announcing that Ron and his wonderful vocalist Janice Torres will be performing at RCCAC on Thursday June 28th from 12:30-1:30pm. This will be something that NAF enthusiasts do not want to miss. The session will begin around the 12:15 lunch time frame and these lunch sessions are open to the public. Ron will be playing a mini concert and Janice accompanying him. This is your chance to see a NAMMY caliber recording artist and part of his band, live in Elkins!

At Ron’s website you can read a NAF topics blog, join the mailing list and order music. Ron will be selling his CD’s at the event and will be in town a day or so in hopes of meeting folks from the circle – please plan on coming out contact me for further details forthcoming.

There are still spaces available to attend the Timber Flute Festival for the week. Visit the link at your right for a printable schedule and registration form.
