MARCH 6, Friday, Livonia MI
A special night at Trinity House Theater, 8pm. A double-bill show with Red
Tail Ring, an exciting new-time old-time duo I have done shows with before.
Plenty of great songs, both trad and original. Lots of guitar picking, banjo
picking and fiddling. Trinity house is a small gem of a theater in an historic
building tucked in the shadow of a modern cloverleaf exchange in Livonia, just
outside of Detroit proper. Literally a step back to the 19th century. And
I mean literally. $20, $17 for subscribers. http://www.trinityhousetheatre.org/
