Irene Farrera
We were enchanted by Irene Farrera--Her rhythm, songs, voice and the instruments ( the six- stringed guitar and a cautro, which is a Venezuelan four -stringed guitar). Farrera is Venezuelan-born daughter of the,"Nueva Trova," and is a sultry Latina Chanteuse.

Irene performed selections from a wide variety of influential Latin American composers, including her own works, which take the listener on a musical journey from remote Chile to the rancheras of northern Mexico.

Mike Morgan-Guitar

Mike Morgan
and Byran Bowers

We had a delightful evening listening to Byran Bowers
and Mike Morgan. Those of you who missed this concert
robbed yourself of a great experience.

Kasilof guitarist, Mike Morgan, teaches music at the Kenai Peninsula College and he has his own band, playing both professionally and for pleasure.

Bill Morrissey
Grammy Nominee - Folk Blues
Bill Morrissey's website

Morrissey performed the songs of Delta Blues Man Mississippi John Hurt on his album, "The Songs of Mississippi John Hurt" (Philo Records). He is one of the best songwriters on the contemporary folk scene, and has been nominated for two Grammy awards for his "country folk" blues. Recently, Bill Morrissey released his "Something I Saw or Thought I Saw" (Philo) featuring his new songs which revisit his troubadour's life in concentrated, focused vignettes about a classic set of characters: the temptress, the cad, and all those who " linger long past when others have left." Bill reflects on his remarkable experiences and gracefully reinvests himself in the simple pleasures that first inclined him toward that lifestyle. A soulful voice meets a fertile literary imagination in songs profoundly musical.
