Join us on Tuesday, March 31 at 7pm at the Clapp Memorial Library for an evening of music and stories with the Klines. Michael and Carrie Kline perform country harmony duets from coal mining songs to gospel, family songs, front porch music, and songs of people in nature. Listeners may find themselves dancing a waltz to “Fiddler Jones,” the song that celebrates the role of music and old-time fiddlers in our lives and our
communities, those who play for family and friends or local dances, or those who play for no one at all. Since returning to the Valley after 26 years away, mostly in West Virginia, they have been performing with upright bass player Joe Blumenthal who has learned lots of coal mining music and songs of people and nature, as well as some traditional songs. Jim Armenti backs up the band with his precise and high-powered mandolin. As folklorist-musicians the Klines weave songs and stories, evoking the times that really matter, time with family and friends, spiritual times, wrapped in a patchwork quilt of vivid imagery.
