Justice Court
Report
Mountain Aire
Mountain Aire, a folk duo
featuring traditional and modem
songs of both Celtic and
American origin, will perform at
the Morrow County St. Patrick's
Festival on Saturday, March 14.
The Orkney Traditional Folk
Festival (Scotland) has described
their style as "feeling music",
message. Their two performances
will be during the Ceili and from
7-8 p.m. at the Elks.
Guitars, fiddle and vocals
provide their music's foundation,
with other instruments such as
flute or mandolin adding spice to
performances.
They enjoy
embellishing
songs
with
background or stories, derived
from historical books or personal
experience
Their travels to
Scotland began as an adventure
to experience family roots.
Bob and Ronnee-Sue, Mountain
Aire's husband-wife team, have
been married since 1981.
Claiming only to be "hometown
and heartfelt," this rural Idaho-
based duo brings its "love of life"
to its audiences through folk
music.
"They are good
entertainers ... and genuine nice
folks," says the Phoenix (AZ)
Folk Traditions Music Festival.
Audiences in five states seem
to agree.
Mountain Aire is included in
the juried roster of performing
artists by Arts Northwest, a tri
state arts organiaation serving
Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
In addition to performances, they
have conducted workshops of
Scots' language and history
through folk music. Ronnee-Sue
was previously on the board of
directors of the Challis (Idaho)
Arts Council, and Mountain Aire
is also a member of the Folk
Alliance and the Idaho Falls
(Idaho) Arts Council.
Doherty, Irish Players to entertain
John Doherty and the Irish
Players will perform genuine
Irish music at the KUMA Coffee
Hour, live from the Heppner Elk’s
Lodge on Saturday, March 14,
beginning at 10 a.m.
Doherty, who is in his 13th
year performing at the coffee
hour, speaks and sings with a
natural brogue and boots life into
his music with a unique and genu
inely Irish style.
Touring Ireland in 1984,
Doherty learned first-hand what
folk (read “pub”) music is like for
the Irish. In 1986, on a dare,
Doherty first sang a couple Irish
tunes during Heppner’s KUMA
Coffee Hour, accompanied by
guitanst/smger Scott Sager of Pi
lot Rock. Over the next several
years, the Irish Players were
formed.
Since then, many musicians
have sat in with the Irish group.
This year's bunch includes the
following line-up: John Doherty,
Walla Walla, lead; Leo Doherty,
Vinson, vocals; Scott Sager, Pi
lot Rock, guitar/vocals; Paul
Green, Pilot Rock, guitar/vocals/
music library; M ike Duffy,
Athena, guitar/vocals/sound;

fiddle; Dan Emert, Pendleton,

Meade. Pendleton, guitar/vocals;

cals; Kreg Hawkins, Pendleton,
