~ PC Coffeehouse ~

An Evening Of Live Jazz, World Music, Folk Music

Second Friday,  

February 10, 2012 7:15pm

Traditional, Modern & Original Folk & Celtic Music

February Sky - Phil Cooper and Susan Urban

in Molly’s Café (floor 3 1/2 - not wheelchair accessible)

Traditional singer and Celtic guitarist Phil Cooper. Singer and songwriter Susan Urban. Together, they make up February Sky, wide-ranging folk duo.

Phil sings and plays his own arrangements of traditional songs and tunes, and also interprets a number of carefully chosen songs from the best of modern Folk song writers; as well as backing Susan up on her songs. Susan is a writer of story songs and humorous "slice of life" songs. She accompanies her songs, plus Phil’s songs and tunes, on six and 12-string guitar, six string banjo, mountain dulcimer, and hand percussion instruments.

Phil and Susan present a combination of old and new songs addressing the widest possible range of experience, complete with vocal harmony, intricate instrumentation and thoughtful stagecraft. They believe that Folk Music is a continuum - whether the songs are self-penned or have a history thousands of years old, as long as they speak to the human condition and the human heart, they carry on the Folk Music tradition.

Kristin Lems, March 9

Sue Fink, with fiddler Jordi Kleiner, April 13

Katie Dahl, Door County's finest, May 11
