Description
Enjoy a free performance of music of the Old West and of the West that never was!The Prairie Rose Band plays a fun, toe-tapping, sing-along-if-you-like performance of songs you forgot you ever knew, and songs you never knew at all! The band's wide-ranging repertoire includes songs that were popular during wartime, and then packs in folk and camp songs, 1930s and '40s western swing, Patsy Cline, Cole Porter, and even audience requests.
The Prairie Rose Band is a four-piece folk-country-Americana band that uses bluegrass instrumentation: guitar, banjo, Dobro (acoustic slide guitar) and bass. The band surprises audiences with tunes from Stephen Foster, to camp songs, to classic country, western swing, and favorites by Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams Sr., Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, the Carter Family and others. Prairie Rose dresses in full cowboy regalia--hats, boots, and fancy shirts--so they look as good as they sound. The Praire Rose Band is made up of Pauline Scholten (lead vocals, guitar), George Martin (banjo, harmony), Mark Hedin (bass), and Gene Tortora (acoustic steel guitar).
The event is free, thanks to funding from the Friends of the Menlo Park Library.
