[FM] Vocal Folkus House Concert/amilia k spicer

[Mike Strohmeyer]

Vocal Folkus Music is pleased to announce the next show in their house
concert series - great acoustic music in an intimate, smoke-free
environment.  We will be presenting California folk artist amilia k
spicer on Saturday, July 13 at 7:30 p.m.  We are located in North
Raleigh.

**********************************************************************
When I announced this concert during our June show, Terri Allard, the
June artist, grinned and exclaimed "trouble" when I mentioned amilia's
name.  amilia sings well-crafted songs, accompanied by her ever-present
keyboard, in a lilting style that in a way betrays her Pennsylvania
origins.  She will fool you into thinking she's just another
middle-of-the-road folk singer and then "BANG" she'll hit you with a
rocker that leaves you wondering "where did THAT come from?"

amilia's first CD, "Like an Engine" has received wide acclaim in the
songwriting community, and she is about to release her second
recording.  She and several other artists also just finished recording a
tribute CD in honor of Brian Wilson's 60th birthday ("Making God Smile"
due in record stores July 30).

**********************************************************************
Please join us in welcoming amilia to our home.  Reservations can be
made for this show by emailing us at "gallica@bellsouth.net," or by
calling (919) 539-1417.

Please note that our home will hold only about 50-55 friends, so reserve
a seat early if you expect to attend.  Donations of $10 per person and
$5 for attentive children under 12, will be collected at the door.  As
you may know, the artist gets the entire gate.  Light refreshments will
be provided - please feel free to bring along your own goodies.

Directions will be sent via email a few days in advance of the show to
those with confirmed reservations.
