MUSIC

With slices of Americana delivered with his rich, supple baritone, low-key humor, and gentle charm, the legendary Bill Staines, the author of “Roseville Fair,” is always a hit. He weaves a blend of gentle wit and humor into his performances, reflecting with the same ease his feelings about the prairie people of the Midwest or the adventurer of the Yukon, the on-the-road truckers or the everyday workers that make up this land. The concert begins with an open microphone. Beverages and desserts are $1 each. Net proceeds benefit the Unitarian-Universalist Service Committee.
