Help our longtime friend, Pitt Kinsolving There will be a fundraiser on Thursday, May 3 at the Talking Stick in Venice, featuring ROSS ALTMAN singing PETE SEEGER'S songs in honor of Pete's 93rd birthday. It is called Pete for Pitt! Click here for more information.

Pitt is the seasoned sound pro who began doing the Folk Music Society's sound engineering way back in 1985, when our founder, Brian Toby graduated and had to pass a whole bunch of batons on to others. Pitt not only did our sound for many years, but he passed on his knowledge and skills to some of the heroes that followed him, John Lonczak, Walter Hamilton, and Roger Sherman. He was also largely responsible for another wonderful live folk series in Pasadena at AEA (Audio Engineering and Associates.) In more recent years, he's had a big hand in making the Topanga Banjo Fiddle Contest & Folk Festival happen, as well as being very involved with Songmakers and the Santa Monica Traditional Folk Music Club, among other groups. Read the letter from his friend, Shelly Herman to find out more and how to help. You can also give a check to Nick or Rex and we'll see that he gets it.

And Folkworks, that great LA area organization that keeps us all informed about the many aspects of live folk music and encourages us to make our own music, is having a fundraiser, too. It will be Sunday, April 29 at 7PM. Click here for information. They will feature LISA HALEY and THE ZYDEKATS TRIO, KEN O'MALLEY and THE NE'ER DUWELS, NEVENKA, KB SOLOMON, and TRIPLE CHICKEN FOOT. One of the MCs will be JERRY MATHERS of Leave it to Beaver!

If you aren't on our email list, be sure to sign up to be notified about each concert. Write the Folk Music Society at folkmusic@caltech.edu And by the way, all of our concerts are held after Caltech business hours, so parking in the school lots is free!


Jeni & Billy
Saturday, May 12, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in Beckman Institute Auditorium (building 74 on the map)

Admission: $15, with $5 for Caltech students and children.
Tickets may be obtained from the Caltech Ticket Office. For information, call (626) 395-4652.

We were so excited about Jeni & Billy, that this show was booked over a year ago! Though they write many of their own songs, this is American roots music at its best. Jeni hails from Jewell Ridge, Virginia, coal country in Appalachia, where she was influenced by church singing and family sing-alongs. She's also a storyteller and writer who earned a Masters degree in literature and studied under Irish writer, Paul Muldoon. Billy grew up in Baltimore and fell in love with country music, eventually heading to Nashville and touring the U.S. and beyond. He went on to become a music instructor and producer of various roots music projects. Together, Jeni and Billy give us wonderful singing and harmonies, backed by guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and bass. Their music is straigtforward and pure. It is difficult to tell the original songs from the traditional ones. Their latest recording, Longing for Heaven features a wonderful assortment of songs that will win you over. We dare you not to smile as you listen to their song, "If I Ever Get Ten Dollars." One listener commented, "This is either the most sophisticated simple music or the simplest sophisticated music I've ever heard."


Aaron Jones and Claire Mann
Friday, June 22, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in Beckman Institute Auditorium (building 74 on the map)

Admission: $15, with $5 for Caltech students and children.
Tickets may be obtained from the Caltech Ticket Office. For information, call (626) 395-4652.

Aaron and Claire return for their second show together at Caltech. They record and perform in various combinations in Scotland, including as solos, as a duo, in their new group, Litha, and, of course, Aaron has long been a member of the immensely popular Scottish group, Old Blind Dogs. Born in Poole, England, Aaron has been in Edinburgh, Scotland for a long time now. He has toured the world with Old Blind Dogs, including a couple of shows at Caltech, and he now does most of their vocals. He is a fine singer and musician on bouzouki, bass, and Cittern.

Claire Mann, from Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England, plays flute, tin whistle and fiddle. She is in demand as a session musician in Edinburgh and has she has also toured extensively worldwide with bands Tabache, Craobh Rua and Christy O'Leary. Her first album, "Claire Mann" in 2001 featured her playing and singing with a fine ensemble of musicians, including Aaron, and it was followed by Aaron and Claire's duo recording, "Secret Orders," which features the energy of their jigs and reels, along with jaunting waltzes, beautifully interpreted songs, and haunting laments. If you like traditional and original Celtic music, don't miss this!


Legends of the Celtic Harp featuring Patrick Ball
Saturday, July 7, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in Beckman Institute Auditorium (building 74 on the map)

Admission: $20, with $5 for Caltech students and children.
Tickets may be obtained from the Caltech Ticket Office. For information, call (626) 395-4652.

Patrick Ball, Lisa Lynne & Aryeh Frankfurter Patrick Ball has done five shows with us, all combining magficient harp playing, storytelling, and theater. Not content with being a master harpist and storyteller, he is constantly blazing new trails. This show is no exception. Legends of the Celtic Harp, is a beautiful musical and dramatic journey covering the history of the Celtic Harp. Patrick is featured as the narrative voice, as well as being harper extraordinaire. He is joined by Lisa Lynne (Irish bouzouki, Celtic harp and Mandolin) and Aryeh Frankfurter (Swedish nyckelharpa, Cittern and Celtic harp). As described in Oregon's Mail Tribune, "The first half of the program weaves myths, memoirs and vignettes with works by anonymous composers as well as pieces by Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), a blind harpist known as the 'last of the Irish bards.' For the second set, Ball will relate the story of Gwilan, a young Irish harpist who traveled between rural villages, serenading folks with her wonderful gift of music. The story was written by Ursula K. Le Guin and is set in A.D. 1000."

Tom Russell
Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in Beckman Institute Auditorium (building 74 on the map)

Admission: $22, with $5 for Caltech students and children.
Tickets may be obtained from the Caltech Ticket Office. For information, call (626) 395-4652.

We're very proud to feature this great singer and songwriter for his debut show at Caltech. He has written and performed many classic songs, including "Blue Wing" and "Navajo Rug," just to name a couple. He'll be accompanied by guitarist, Thad Beckman. Here are a few quotes till we fill in the details:

...the best songwriter of my generation...a conviction reinforced by Mesabi...raises and sets the bar for contemporary singer-songwriters. #1 Folk Album for 2011 - Mike Regenstreif, Montreal Gazette, Sing Out

A crafted treasure of engaging nobility. The Boston Globe

A master storyteller triumphs. Chicago Sun Times, 9/29/11

The album consistently confirms Russell's status as one of the best singer-songwriters of our time. The Washington Post 9/23/11

On his last three albums-Love and Fear, Blood and Candle Smoke, and now Mesabi-Russell has come up with a late-career flurry that rivals what Dylan himself achieved with Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, and Modern Times. Like Dylan, Russell constructs his songs from the building blocks of classic American folk and blues traditions. POP MATTERS 9/11


Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands
Friday, September 7, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in Beckman Institute Auditorium (building 74 on the map)

Admission: $15, with $5 for Caltech students and children.
Tickets may be obtained from the Caltech Ticket Office. For information, call (626) 395-4652.

We are delighted to welcome back Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands. Laurie is one of the finest bluegrass singers and songwriters around. Laurie is one of those few people who not only embodies the highest talents of bluegrass and folk greats like Bill Monroe, but she forges ahead and continues to shape the bluegrass world and achieve new heights. Along with her singing and songwriting talents, Laurie is a fine guitarist and fiddle player. She's won a Grammy and has twice been named Female Vocalist of the Year by the IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association). IBMA executive director Dan Hays said, "Laurie is one of the pre-eminent bluegrass and Americana artists of our time. She spreads her talent over several genres; bluegrass, folk, country; and with the recognition she has within all those fields, I would certainly say she's one of the top five female artists of the last 30 years. And she continues to make great music. She recently released a new CD, Skippin' and Flyin' which is a tribute to Bill Monroe on the 100th anniversary of his birth.

"The Right Hands features Tom Rozum, (vocals, mandolin & guitar), Chad Manning on fiddle, Patrick Sauber on banjo, mandolin and guitar, and Andrew Conklin on bass. Tom has performed with Laurie for many years now he is a great musician and vocalist, both as a lead singer and with harmonies. Patrick, our local San Gabriel Valley hero, excels on any instrument he picks up and he more than carries his weight in the band's signature vocal sound. Chad has played with the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, won fiddle contests, and has a pair of solo albums. Andrew is a classically trained musician, coposer, graduate of Oberlin University, and he is currently pursuing a master’s degree in composition at San Francisco State University. This configuration has performed with Laurie for a few years now and they are tremendous!


Jez Lowe
Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in Beckman Institute Auditorium (building 74 on the map)

Admission: $15, with $5 for Caltech students and children.
Tickets may be obtained from the Caltech Ticket Office. For information, call (626) 395-4652.

Jez Lowe is a great singer and songwriter from North England, who we have been trying to get to Caltech for years. He tours the world, and we're glad to finally have Caltech on his itinerary. His songs have been recorded by Fairport Convention, The Dubliners, The Tannahill Weavers, Cherish The Ladies, Gordon Bok, The McCalmans, The Black Brothers, Liam Clancy, Bob Fox, and many others. We have him for a solo show, but he also performs with his band, The Bad Pennies. Here are a few quotes, till we fill in some details:

"One of the folkscene's great unsung heroes... His best album for some time." MIKE HARDING, BBC RADIO 2

"A profoundly impressive new album. Lowe has earned the right to be counted among England's finest contemporary songwriters." DAILY TELEGRAPH, UK

"An affirmation, and a development! Quintessential Jez!" FROOTS, UK

"Another impressive collection from this very talented songwriter." FOLKING.COM

"You can't go wrong with this lovely album." PENGUIN EGGS, CANAD


Cathy Barton & Dave Para
Saturday, October 27, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in Beckman Institute Auditorium (building 74 on the map)

Admission: $15, with $5 for Caltech students and children.
Tickets may be obtained from the Caltech Ticket Office. For information, call (626) 395-4652.

Cathy Barton and Dave Para return to the delight of many. This pair, from Booneville, Missouri do so much to keep alive the music and traditions of Missouri and the Ozarks. They also do music from the Civil War. Here is what some others have had to say:

"This duo from Missouri make some of the best music you'll ever hear." --Art Thieme

"Cathy Barton and Dave Para, as much as any folk musicians I know, carry on the sense of importance of folk music, the value of digging for old musical gold, of traveling far and wide to collect old songs and tunes, and of being friends with, rather than exploiters of the old-timers who have provided such wonderful musical foundations for us all."-- Ed Trickett

"We would like to recommend Cathy and Dave Para highly as professional entertainers. They are both very dependable and quite knowledgeable of the music they perform. We have been in the entertainment world for some 50 years, and we know of no one that cares about music as much as these two young entertainers." -- Grandpa and Ramona Jones.

About the Caltech Folk Music Society...

The Caltech Folk Music Society was started in 1983 by graduate students Brian Toby and Simon Davies. The intent was to bring well-known performers of acoustic music from around the country, and around the world, to play at Caltech for a reasonable price. Long before playing "unplugged" became fashionable, the CFMS began to seek out a wide range of singer-songwriters, bluegrass bands, British Isles music, blues, Nueva Cancion, guitarists, and a whole array of other musicians that did not fit well into mainstream musical categories. While some of these performers emphasize elements of "folk tradition," others are boldly innovative and truly unique. Social activism, humor, and compassion are commonly present as well.

Most concerts are held in Beckman Institute Auditorium and occasionally in Dabney Hall. We average one show each month. The CFMS is an informal group of students and volunteers from the local community who arrange and publicize these concerts. All money taken in for ticket sales goes toward booking future shows. Volunteers are most welcome, especially students. Please contact folkmusic@caltech.edu to find out more.
