About the artists:
George Ella and Steve Lyon
Two local much-beloved authors who are faithfully and deeply committed to peace and social justice. George Ella first sang at an anti-war rally in 1967 at Centre College. Her poems on peace enrich the local interfaith peace vigil and have been frequently reproduced in support of the cause. Steve, a versatile and innovative musician, is a composer, songwriter, and performer.
Alma Gitana
Alma Gitana [Gypsy Soul] is the brain child of lead singer and percussionist Stuart Waldner. Stuart, along with compadres Bob Elliott and Duane Corn, formed Alma Gitana to share their unique style of flamenco fusion with audiences throughout the region. Alma Gitana's music can best be described as flamenco-Arabic fusion. On the web at: http://www.almagitanamusic.com
Reel World String Band
Monumentally influenced by traditional and old-time music with a touch of country, swing, blues, and jazz, Reel World's soulful songwriting and instrumental virtuosity make for American roots music with a rare fire and authenticity. With Sue Massek on banjo, Bev Futrell on guitar and harmonica, Karen Jones on fiddle, Elise Melrood on piano, and Sharon Ruble on bass, the band brings together classic fiddling, bluegrass harmonies, and a keen eye for lyrical detail.
