Sun 11/6 @ 7PM
The Mountain Rose Concert Series, sponsored by local acoustic music nonprofit Folknet, takes place in Kent on the fist Sunday of each month, and chooses its performers largely from the vast pool of local talent.
Its next show takes place at Stand Rock Cultural Arts’ North Water Street Gallery and features a singer/songwriter/guitarist who won’t have to drive too far to get there (maybe he’ll walk!): Kent-based Chuck Keiper.
Keiper’s been around the area music scene for more than 40 years and has performed across the Great Lakes region as well, as a solo act, part of a duo and with numerous ensembles including Irish band Green Blossom Special where he also played mandolin and tin whistle. So he’s got 40-plus years of songs and stories to share, ranging from humorous, fun tunes, to story songs spinning complex tales, to relatable, heartfelt songs.
Admission is $10, $7 for Folknet members and $5 for kids with a “responsible” adult.
