Pint and Dale
July 20, 2012:
Pint & Dale, performing in the auditorium at 7 p.m. $5. William Pint and Felicia Dale have boundless enthusiasm for creating music and sharing it with their audience. Critics have delighted in their recordings and crowds have listened, laughed, shed a tear and sung along with them wherever they have played. With guitar, hurdy-gurdy, mandolin, violin,
whistles, harmony, joy and pure energy Pint and Dale entertain and perhaps enlighten as well, giving listeners an insight into another age. There is humor and drama on a great scale. Their performance will include traditional and contemporary songs and tunes gathered from their many travels - songs and music from the rich heritage of the sea. http://pintndale.com
Walter and Cronin


August 24, 2012:
Mac Walter and John Cronin, performing in the auditorium at 7 p.m. $5.  Returning to the Calvert Marine Museum for their third performance, cousins John Cronin and Mac Walter bring a combined acoustic fingerstyle virtuosity that is amazing to see. Both are talented in their own right but when they play together, the synergy and gorgeous harmonies they project always leave an audience on their feet and wanting more. Three-time WAMMIE winner Mac Walter has toured with Johnny Winter and Deanna Bogart as well as playing with other DC legends including Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan. John, who settled in British Columbia, toured extensively with Canadian musical icon Ian Tyson as lead guitarist. We are delighted to bring these talented cousins back to Solomons for this series. http://cousinmusic.com
