Internationally recognized, California-based guitarist Christopher Dean mesmerizes audiences with his musical style, and his mix of fingerstyle and flat picking traditions performed on six and 12 string guitars.

Dean reacquaints American folk music with its Scottish and Irish roots. He tells engaging and humorous stories while weaving Celtic and American lore and history into his repertoire - from the familiar trinity of jigs, reels and haunting airs, to the music of Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan and other exponents of the American folk genre.

His passionate and compelling voice is what they notice first. As a solo artist, Ken O’Malley easily commands the room; with his band he also rocks the house. Quickly drawing the audience in, it is no wonder that the Irish News describes him “without question, as the single most enduring, influential and proficient of all Irish musicians in Southern California” and the University of St. Thomas at Houston acknowledges him to be "widely regarded as the finest Irish folk singer/songwriter in the United States today."

We'll be celebrating Woody Guthrie and his music at this special concert.
Woody's contributions to American music are singular and everlasting. Woody created the musical song well that birthed the 1960's folk revival and the performer-songwriters like Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs Arlo Guthrie, Joni Mitchell and his road partner Pete Seeger. Today Woody's songs continue to fuel America's singing, a growing legacy and monument to Woody's genius and heartfelt visions of our people and country.
