This Weekend
On Saturday, we celebrate GUY FAWKES NIGHT with Rachel Allen, John Wells, Pete Grubbs, and Robert Wagner. In 1605, Guy Fawkes was a member of the group of Roman Catholic conspirators who attempted to carry out the Gunpowder Plot, planning to assassinate King James I and all the members of both branches of the Parliament of England by blowing up the House of Lords. He was caught, and the whole gang was executed. People all over the world celebrate Guy Fawkes Night with bonfires and fireworks. We'll be celebrating with great music.
Earlier this year, Rachel Allen performed as part of Calliope's Emerging Legends series. She is known for her strong vocal delivery, versatility and range, and the sheer joy of her performances. She enjoys connecting with people. She also directs the adult and children's choirs at Christ United Methodist Church in the Moxham section of Johnstown and works with children of all ages, adults with mental illness, and facilitates several community drum circles.
Pete Grubbs will be driving down from Brookville, PA. He's well known to FILK audiences. (FILK is the folk music of science fiction and fantasy.) He's a great picker and a fun, insightful, intelligent guy.
John Wells would be a worthy subject for a Martin Scorcese movie. He has been playing folk music in the Pittsburgh-area since the early 1960s but has never released a CD. The only way your're going to hear him is if you come to a show (Unless you take him up on his standing invitation to visit his Lawrenceville home).
As you know, the backroom of The Starlite Lounge is smoke-free. The music starts at 8:00 pm. Children are welcome if accompanied by a parent. And there is no cover-charge.
