 Cry Babies!
Saturday, September 4
7:00 p.m.
Close out the summer season on Saturday of Labor Day Weekend with a concert by the fabulous female duo Cry Babies. The Crybabies resulted from an accidental, possibly fateful, meeting of three musicians who not only share the same love of Old Country, Mountain Roots music, and Western Swing, but also happen to share the same ancestral roots concentrated in a small corner of Southwestern Va at the end of the Crooked Road. Lisa Roberson from Wise Va., and Sandy Goodson whose family originally came from Dickenson County Va., began combining their soaring harmonies, smoking guitars, and Goodson’s incandescent flute in the Fall of 2008. Colleen Short on Bass, who also claims Wise as her hometown, joined them later.
The Crybabies present a unique blend of original and roots music with a modern twist.

Salisbury Brasswerkes -
Ask Americans to name their favorite song from a Broadway musical and it’s a good bet that many will recall George M. Cohan’s Give My Regards to Broadway. Cohan wrote the song for his first Broadway musical, the 1904 production of Little Johnny Jones. The show had an initial run of fifty-two performances. It was revived in 1905 and again in 1907. All together Give My Regards to Broadway was heard about four hundred times on a Broadway stage. Yet this century-old song is deeply entrenched in American culture. Read on . . . . .

His albums span the genres of folk, traditional, Celtic and maritime music and beyond, and his recordings also appear on other artist compilations. As a songwriter, he is celebrated by fans and peers alike; dozens of performers have covered his original compositions, three of which have been published in "Rise Up Singing," Sing Out Magazine's award-winning community songbook.
Two of the most storied songwriters of the 20th century praised Bob's work, each in his own way. Upon hearing Bob's first release, Mirrors and Changes, country legend Johnny Cash was moved to send the young artist an encouraging letter, saying, "Mirrors and Changes ... is one of the finest works I've heard by any artist." And in 2007, at a symposium at the Library of Congress' American Folklife Center honoring members of the Seeger family for their contributions to American music, music legend and humanitarian Pete Seeger asked Bob, "Are you still writing those good songs? Your songs get around!"
