Bill Staines Concert

Online sales have ended: tickets are available at the door!
Bill Staines is one of the best songwriters in folk music today, penning lyrics that evoke a sense of place and a generous spirit to go along with his pretty melodies. Singing mostly his own songs, he has become one of the most popular and durable singers on the folk music scene today, performing nearly 200 concerts a year. He weaves a blend of gentle wit and humor into his performances and one reviewer wrote, "He has a sense of timing to match the best standup comic."

His gentle lilting voice, spacious melodies and common-chord lyrics give his songs a homespun grace that often belies his mastery of the folk form. He is such a pure pleasure too, people forget to notice how damn good at the job of singer-songwritering he really is.

Join in the music on Friday, September 14:, at 8:00 pm at OSA, 220 E. 23rd Street, suite 707, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. General Admission is $20. Members of the Folk Music Society, $10, children, and full-time students under 22 are free. Tickets are also available at the door; Information: www.folkmusicny.org; or 212-957-8386
