D-Squared

Time to get away to the cool country! This weekend is the 10th Annual Flagstaff Folk Festival – two days of music, workshops and informal jamming featuring musicians from all over the state on 4 different stages. D-Squared plays on Sunday, June 26th at 5:30 PM on the Amphitheater Stage. We’re the last act, band scramble to follow.

The festival is held at the the Coconino Center for the Arts & Pioneer Museum. The address for the Center is 2300 N. Fort Valley Rd. Parking is free. Admission it just $3 a day, $9 for families. All the possible info you could hope for will be found here.

See you there!

Susan Rheem, the founding Executive Director of Adult Care Services at The Margaret T. Morris Center, passed away suddenly on April 18, 2011.

We are honored to be playing music at The Margaret T. Morris Center (878 Sunset Avenue in Prescott, AZ), Saturday, June 11, 2011, 1:30- 4:00.

The Memorial Service will be at 1:00 PM at the Unity Church in Prescott, followed by a memorial walk through the gardens at The Center, 1:30-4:00. The public is welcome.

Susan was a longtime friend and fan. She did wonderful work. She’ll be missed.

D-Squared will be playing at the Courtyard Acoustic Stage on Sunday, May 1 @ 1:00 PM. We’ve wanted to play this stage for a long time, so finally, this is it! It’ll be up close and personal, and I doubt we’ll get blown off stage like it has threatened in years past. All the particulars can be found at their website. We will be trotting out an all slide guitar set. Now how often do you see a slide guitar paired up with a harp??

Now here’s a great idea! Andrew Johnson-Schmit, producer and host of Prescott Arts Beat on KJZA, has taken it upon himself to recognize the artistic talents that are scattered throughout the Prescott area. He has put together the First Annual Buckey Awards which will be held at 7:00 PM Saturday night, April 2, at the Hendrix Auditorium at Mile High Middle School, $10 ticket.

D-Squared, and 9 other musicians, have been nominated for the Outstanding Musical Artists category. The winners in all categories will be announced that night, along with the already chosen Lifetime Achievement Award going to our good friend, Jody Drake, who runs the Blue Rose Theater at Sharlot Hall. Congrats, Jody!
