SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 2015 ❘ THESIUSLAWNEWS . COM ❘ / SIUSLAWNEWS 5 B @ THESIUSLAWNEWS Community News Folk singers Jennings, Keller to perform at library The Siuslaw Public Lib- rary’s Adult Summer Reading program, “Escape the Ord- inary,” continues with a folk music performance by the award-winning acoustic duo, Jennings and Keller. The talented pair are on a national tour and will bring their highly enjoyable Fusion Folk Americana music to Florence on Saturday, July 18, at 6 p.m., in the Bromley Room at the main library. Not only will the duo sing original songs but they will also explore the his- tory and impact of early folk singers on today’s music. Laurie Jennings Oudin and Dana Keller started touring together almost 10 years ago. Their blend of music is a unique mix of their varied backgrounds. Jennings was a Shakespearean actress, turned café owner, of a nationally renowned venue for acoustic music, and now a traveling troubadour who plays and sings exceptional folk fusion music with her partner, Keller. Keller has an extensive resume as a session player and has played with many well- known musicians, in-cluding Marvin Gaye, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs and Stevie Wonder. The two have released three albums together; the third, released in 2012, “Mirror With a Memory,” was deemed “a lovely and enticing 12-song set that spotlights both their songwriting prowess and sup- ple, skillful delivery,” said Lee Zimmerman, writing for South Florida’s Broward Palm Beach New Times. In 2010, they won a song- CONCEAL CARRY CARRY CONCEAL PERMIT CLASS CLASS PERMIT Oregon –Utah Oregon – Valid in 35 Utah - Valid 34 States States Wednesday, August 5th 1pm or 6pm Walk-ins Welcome Florence Event Center, 715 Quince St. OR/Utah–valid in WA $80 or Oregon only $45 writing award at the Breedlove Musical Festival held in Bend, Oregon. Jennings and Keller prom- ise to not only entertain with their award-winning songs but will take the audience on an American folk music journey. They will share early twen- tieth century folk songs from the likes of Jimmy Rogers, Woody Guthrie and The Carter Family. The history of the dobro (resonator guitar) will be explored, from the instru- ment’s beginnings as a Delta Blues and Hawaiian instru- ment to its use by today’s musicians. And, as if that is not enough, the pair will share some good old-fash- ioned expert Chet Atkins-style COURTESY PHOTO Jennings and Keller, Folk Fusion Americana guitar picking.
