The Squirrel Hillbillies: Down Home And Heart-felt

One thing for sure that we are proud of here at The Lakewood Public Library is that we can offer such a wide range of music presentations via our Sunday with the Friends series. If ours is to add and enhance to our community’s cultural experience through literature and the arts, then we are pleased that so many musicians choose to perform here.

Furthermore, musicians want to return to play again and again as the overall experience for both artist and audience is always an afternoon to remember. A case in point is the Squirrel Hillbillies who will be here and stirring things up in our Main Auditorium on March 22nd at 2 p.m.

Now if you are wondering what “Squirrel Hillbilly” music sounds like, I can tell you this. The music of both Jenny Wolsk Bain and Gary Crouth mirrors their love and passion for authentic stories and imaginative renderings cradled in passages and arrangements that come from a down home and heart-felt mix of folk, country, and blues. Just as blended ingredients make for a recipe that is perfect in the way that way those ingredients are slowly introduced to one another, so are these eclectic styles of music blended to create something that mere words can’t quite explain other than it is delicious, leaves a great taste, and a desire for more.

Our Sunday with the Friends concerts are free and open to the public. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
