Irish Wave
Friday March 13th
Darke County Center for the Arts will host "Irish Wave" at Montage Cafe
in downtown Greenville on Friday, March 13. "We will bring the luck of
the Irish to Friday the 13th, celebrating St. Patrick's Day with a fund
raising party featuring Irish music, food, and a beer tasting; as with
all of our fund raisers, we promise a good time for a good cause," said
Andrea Jordan, DCCA Executive Director. Proceeds will benefit DCCA's
many programs including Arts In Education and the Family Theatre
Series. The festivities begin at 6:30 p.m.
Attendees can count on a diverse choice of beers; six tastes and a
commemorative beer glass are included in the price of admission. For
non-beer drinkers, other beverages including wine will be available;
Irish-themed food prepared by Montage proprietors Aaron and Michele Cox
will also be provided.
Music will be performed by Lone Raven, a group that DCCA Artistic
Director Keith Rawlins describes as one of the top bands in the
Midwest. "Lone Raven performs an eclectic blend of traditional music as
well as their own originals," Rawlins explained. "They'll tear through
peppy Irish reels, play haunting Gypsy fiddle tunes, and render soulful
airs, leaving the audience breathless and begging for more," Rawlins
said.
The musicians who make up Lone Raven, Craig Markley, Kara Markley,
Elizabeth Blickenstaff, Neil Jacobs, and Sid Omasta, play a broad
variety of instruments including keyboard, fiddle, mandolin, guitar,
accordion, whistle, and percussion. Sponsors for "Irish Wave" who make
possible the performance by Lone Raven are Second National Bank, The
Andersons Marathon LLC, Edward Jones Investment representatives Ryan
Carpe, Dave Connelly, Andria Haworth, Todd Subler and Bill Wolke, Dr.
Thomas and Suzanne Brown, and Zechar Bailey Funeral Home.
