D-Squared

We just want to remind you folks that might be around the Prescott area next weekend about our Folk Sessions show at 7:00 p.m., Friday, February 16^th at the Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Hall, 882 Sunset Street (map) in Prescott behind True Value Hardware (www.folksessions.com). We are sharing the bill with keyboardist Jonathon Best and it promises to be an exciting night. We will play the first set where we’ll be debuting Don’s newest song, “Little Iraq”, written just a week ago in honor of his 55th birthday.

And for those within the listening range of KJZA 89.5 FM, you can catch us tonight at 7:00 p.m. on the Folk Sessions Live! radio show hosted by Tom Agostino and Alexa McDonald. The same show is broadcast again later the same evening at 10:00 or 11:00 p.m.

House Concert, 7:30 PM Saturday January 27 at the West Studio in Phoenix

This concert is being held in the immaculate new studio at the Phoenix home of Cyd and Greg West. Greg is a highly respected trompe l’oeil artist, he makes fruit fly, and Cyd is a longtime friend and artist in her own right, she sang with us on our first CD as Cindy Barber. Perhaps she can be persuaded to sing one or two with us. This will be a particularly fun show with some old friends in a cool space with art in it. Music and art, imagine them going together. Suggested donation is $15. You can email or call to reserve your seats and they will provide you with the address and directions: cydwest[at]cox[dot]net or (602) 526-1110.

Folk Sessions, 7:00 PM Friday February 16 in Prescott

Held at the Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Hall (882 Sunset Drive, off Whipple behind True Value), Folk Sessions is a regular coffeehouse series hosted by Alexa MacDonald and Tom Agostino in Prescott. For the past several years they have been bringing in some very good regional and national touring acts as well as hosting a folk radio show on KJZA 89.5FM every Saturday night. This will be an all-local night as we split the bill with Jonathon Best, a wildly talented and very fun keyboard player. This could be an interesting pairing. Tickets are $10 at the door.

D-Squared will be performing along with other fine area performers as part of Smithsonian CultureFest Prescott. This is an opportunity to hear a lot of acoustic music for one ticket price, and while you’re at it you might want to check out their website for cultural activities all around town that weekend.
